Hi there,
I want to try burning a DVD using k3b and when it starts up it
complains:
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.
Googling "LC_* environment variables" turns up this doc:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#doc_chap3
I assume this document is correct & up to date?
(and is not superseded by the LINGUAS="en_GB en" that I have in
make.conf)
This doc refers to a /etc/env.d/02locale file - I assume I have to
create that by hand? The file does not exist at present. I guess this
is the kind of thing I'd kinda expect you to create by symlinking to /
usr/share/linguas/England or something.
Finally, does anyone have the correct LANG and LC_COLLATE settings for
the United Kingdom, please? I assume that again something starting
"en_GB" is used.
Do I need to set ALL LC_* variables (the guide lists 9 of them) or
just those 2?
This server is headless, so I'm using X11 over ssh - kcontrol's left-
hand pane is blank.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Stroller.
