As far as I remember, login.conf is the file to set this, but you can basically set environmental variables wherever you want. For example, I have a system where I set them globally in the C-Shell configuration, so all shells (even non-csh-shells like bash) inherit the settings. Example from /etc/csh.cshrc: setenv LC_ALL en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_MESSAGES en_US.UTF-8 setenv LC_COLLATE de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_CTYPEde_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_MONETARY de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_NUMERIC de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LC_TIME de_DE.UTF-8 setenv LANGde_DE.UTF-8 Note that this creates a settings conglomerate from english and german settings which looks stupid, but works (and is therefor intended, or at least accepted as being established). :-) Note the correct language prefix: en_US (as there's also en_GB). Any nuances on en_US.UTF-8 vs. ISO8859? As soon as you have non-standard characters (like german umlauts) encoded in ISO8859-1 (the default for this region) they won't show up properly in UTF-8 (just as UTF-8 encoded umlauts will not show up properly in a ISO8859-1 terminal session). I've never really ever needed to deal with locales before, but I believe UTF-8 offers more characters, no? It offers many more, and especially if you're dealing with inter- national documents, it seems to be the best way to go at the moment. For example, I had to work on a document containing german umlauts and chinese characters, so UTF-8 was the solution to have all of them properly displayed and editable. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I've never really ever needed to deal with locales before, but I believe UTF-8 offers more characters, no? The iso8859 encodings are 256 character maps, the UTF-8 encoding covers the entire million character range of unicode (or iso10646 which amounts to the same thing) how well it displays depends on the font being used. This one has pretty good coverage. -misc-fixed-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* There's a wonderful file around called UTF-9-demo.txt produced by Markus Kuhn which shows off the capability of UTF-8 pretty well, and tests your font support unmercifully (the font above can cope with the whole document, and an up to date urxvt handles the alignment correctly). There is a great deal to be said for adopting unicode by default, and generally in the form of UTF-8. I regard the iso8859 encodings as basically obsolete. Unicode has it's faults, but it is the best general purpose encoding system available. There are also tools for unicode that can handle problems such as correctly sorting text for different languages which is not as easy as you might think. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith st...@sohara.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

And, when installing FreeBSD 6.2, the kernel that booted from the install CD was GENERIC, but after the installation, the bootup showed that the kernel being used was SMP.

Re: [kde-freebsd] Re: Problem compiling KOffice
Hello Ashley, Did you see this part? Has it really not been fixed in all this time? This isn't an error in KOffice - take a look at the actual problem report: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=92408 (Executive summary: Reinstall graphics/ImageMagick.) Nikolas, KOffice 1.5 will be committed to ports as soon as the upcoming FreeBSD releases are out the door (actually, KDE 3.5.2 wasn't supposed to go in before that either - however, I forgot about the ports slush and got folded for committing it by portmgr. I'm not going to again. :) As in waiting for 6.1-RELEASE and 5.5-RELEASE or just the next RC? Technically until all the releases are out the door. The reason for this is that portmgr wants to be able to slip the tag for the 6.1-RELEASE/5.5-RELEASE packages if the need for some critical security updates should arise at the last minute. I have however contacted portmgr again and asked if I can jump the gun with KOffice, since there's obviously some public demand. And does that mean you already have the koffice port updated Yes ... the KOffice port and 60 KOffice i18n ports (and it builds on FreeBSD 4, too). I don't have the big diff against ports ready yet - if portmgr says I'll have to wait for the releases, I'll make it available on monday. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=95678 Please don't do that. FreeBSD's bugtracking system gets enough abuse as it is. Ok... I thought that's what you should do though? GNATS is for bug reports, documentation changes, port upgrades and new port submissions.

If it's been a few months since you last updated your ports then no the koffice 1.5 package won't work for you. what version of FreeBSD are you running and if you have not updated your ports in months you better read /usr/ports/UPDATING becouse you will have to delete all installed ports/packages and reinstall them. This is why: 20060223: AFFECTS: all ports using libtool as part of the build process AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The way in which ports that require libtool to build has been completely reworked to bring the ports system in line with other environments, such as Linux, and pkgsrc. devel/libtool13 no longer exists. devel/libtool15 has been modified to (a) install in the canonical locations and (b) remove a number of long-standing FreeBSD-specific patches that resulted in a very different libtool than is present on other systems. The main visible change will be that a large number of ports have had their plists modified (we now install libtool .la archives) and, as such, PORTREVISIONS have been bumped on ~2000 ports (roughly 1/7th of the tree). Unfortunately, there is no simple upgrade path. Short of removing all packages and reinstalling from scratch, the only other viable alternative would be careful use of portupgrade. Given the large number of different ways in which libtool is used by other ports in the tree, this is a process that is likely to vary considerably from system to system, and as such, folks should be very mindful of running automatic updating software, such as portupgrade, making extensive use of the -n flag (and equivalents for other updaters) to see what will actually be rebuilt, before actually performing the upgrade. The good news is that the system now in place will make the handling of libtool-using ports considerably easier going forward. 20060220: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.8. You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see its manual page for details. 20060202: AFFECTS: users of textproc/expat2 AUTHOR: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Users of expat2 (and its many dependencies) should do the following to properly update expat2 and all of its dependencies: portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2 -- BSD Podcasts @ http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

KDE, FreeBSD fish
I've used Konqueror many times before to connect from abroad to my machine at home using fish://. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. I've had several reinstallations on my laptop over the last few months for a few various reasons, and I've noticed that on some installations it 'just works' and on some it doesn't. I'm connecting from KDE 3.3 on FreeBSD 5.3 to a FreeBSD 5.2.1 machine. All I get in my output in the status bar is 'Connecting...' before it eventually times out. Yup, I can SSH in normally from this location. Fish just doesn't work. So is this feature dodgy as far as anyone knows? It's a real pain in the arse when it doesn't work, because fish is extraordinarily handy for copying files using a GUI without having to implement something like FTP. So how irritating when it doesn't work :-) PS: I've never been so sure as to where to post queries like this -- freebsd-questions or one of the KDE mailing lists, or both.
