Hi list ! my /etc directory got corrupted few days ago, so I had to reinstall my Debian system. I choosed to switch from sid to Etch. You must know that my /home directory was not touched by the corrupt thing (it was on another partition).
But then, I couldn't see the correct names for directories in my /home. So I decided to check for the locales set, and they were wrongly pointed to fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8 so I unticked it and choosed [EMAIL PROTECTED] ISO-8859-15 like it was before. But now I still can't read filenames containing accentued character in my /home, and it's even worse : I can't even type accentued character with dead keys (I'm using us_intl keyboard map), all I got is 2 squares like "??"... So my questions are : 1. How can I know which encoding were used for those dir ? 2. How can I fix this encoding pb for all my system, taking into account I _don't_ want to use utf-8 but latin-9 ?
