I think that I have found the cause. If you use gconf-editor and navigate to the key "/apps/gedit-2/preferences/encodings/auto_detected" then you will see a chain of encodings which are considered during auto detection. When I did so, I could see that any encodings for the Czech language were missing even though I had installed complete Czech language support via System -> Administration -> Language support.
1) Workaroud: ---------------------- a) find the right encodings: Start gedit -> Open -> Character encoding "button-list" -> Add and Remove. Here you can add encodings that will be added to the "button-list". Select and add all that you intend to use. Then press OK and then close gedit. b) add the encodings to the autodetection key: Start the gconf-editor, search for "/apps/gedit-2/preferences/encodings/auto_detected". Under the key "auto_detected" in the key "shown_in_menu" you will see all encodings that you added in the previous step. So, double click the key "auto_detected" and add the same encondings to this key. Then you can sort them e.g. like "UTF-8, <your encodings>,<rest of all starting with the CURRENT>" That is all. For me it works well. 2) BugFix ---------------------- I assume that local encodings relating to a language installed through the language support should be automatically added to those two encoding keys of gedit, because the user probably writes and reads in more languages and will need it. -- Gedit encoding autodetection fails on all cp1250 files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
