[gentoo-amd64] latest k3b and system locale
I upgraded to the latest k3b on Friday (1.0.4) and I really like the interface and all, but when I run it I get this: 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. I noticed on the notes after the upgrade that k3bsetup isn't included in the ebuild now. So, my question is, how do I fix this, or is it even a problem? -- Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!

So, my question is, how do I fix this, or is it even a problem? I've been getting the same error here for awhile, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. It's possible it'd be a problem if I were sharing the stuff I burned with folks trying to use it on MSWormOS, but otherwise, it shouldn't be, and I've had no complaints on the couple I did burn for MSWormOS using folks either, so it doesn't seem to be an issue. It may also be a bit of an issue for anyone using multiple languages and character-sets, I'm not sure as I only use English. If you were to fix it, however, it'd be by setting your i18n/l10n (internationalization/localization) settings properly. As I only do English, I don't know a whole lot about that, but from what I've read, there were some issues related to that with a recent version of glibc, but I thought they were fixed, now, but you and I might still have a bad version merged, or something else that builds against them that k3b uses merged. It may be as simple as setting an environmental variable correctly, or it might be k3b's detection screwed up. I don't know. I do know it hasn't seemed to cause any issues here, tho, so I haven't worried about it. YMMV, of course. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.

Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this. As far as I can tell it doesn't have any negative impact. It looks like it wants the LC_* environment vars set - which maybe should be set by baselayout or something. I imagine it is just a non-ideality unless you are using foreign character sets (in which case you likely know more about locales than I do!). Is anybody around here knowledgeable about locales/etc? I noticed on the notes after the upgrade that k3bsetup isn't included in the ebuild now. So, my question is, how do I fix this, or is it even a problem? I believe the message indicated that it wasn't included because it was no-longer needed. So you shouldn't need to do anything. This utility checks executable/device permissions and adjusts them so that users can burn discs. Apparently gentoo's permissions now work out-of-the-box. Oh - one thing I did notice about the new k3b is that you might want to turn on auto-blanking of rewritable media. While testing this package I was able to get it to create a DVD with leftover directory entries from the previous image (which didn't work - the directory entries were there but the files were not - ls showed them in flashing red). -- gentoo-amd64@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
