When I crank up K3b, it complains about my setup, with the message
"System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode
filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this
has been done intentionally.
Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting
will result in problems when creating data projects.
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_*
environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools
take care of this."
It is correct that this is not intentional (it does seem antique). I
have
configured .mybashrc to set my LANG to "en_US", but nothing beyond
that. What "distribution setup tools" is it referring to, so that I
can
correct this on gentoo?
What have you set up in your /etc/locale.gen ?
I won't take credit for setting this up, because I don't think I did. On
the other hand,
I've had occasion to internationalize a web page to dutch and polish,
which
appear
in the list. So I dunno where it came from.
But here's what's there:
# /etc/locale.gen: list all of the locales you want to have on your
system
#
# The format of each line:
# <locale> <charmap>
#
# Where <locale> is a locale located in /usr/share/i18n/locales/ and
# where <charmap> is a charmap located in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/.
#
# All blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
#
# For the default list of supported combinations, see the file:
# /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
#
# Whenever glibc is emerged, the locales listed here will be
automatically
# rebuilt for you. After updating this file, you can simply run
`locale-gen`
# yourself instead of re-emerging glibc.

This looks fine. If when you run $ locale you get a list with LANG=en_US
but
further down LC_ALL= (blank), then set export LC_ALL=xxx in your .bashrc
to
whatever you want your locale set to.
Halfway there. I did that, and now "locale" looks like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE="en_US"
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=en_US
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $
However, when I start k3b from the KDE menus, it still complains.
On the other hand, if I start k3b from the shell that gives the "locale"
results above,
it starts clean. So the issue seems to be that I need to inform KDE about
the
locale.
I did a fresh boot, and that did not help, so I wonder if .mybashrc is the
correct
place to do this.
try /etc/env.d/02locale
LANG="en_US"
LC_ALL="en_US"
For details take a look at the localisation guide.
