[Bug 132357] Re: files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly
I also have the same problem, and on hardy I had to build a new ntfs-3g (1.2412) because I need to set my locale (pt_PT.UTF-8) in fstab for all my ntfs partitions, and the version in hardy won't mount as user (check bug #205081).

I have the same problems. My locales are properly set in my box and /etc/init.d/mountall.sh is fine, and fstab explicitly include locale option. However, I cannot see files with accents, etc. in my external hard disk with ntfs partition; but if I manually mount the partition (with locale option) I can see them... very intriguing for me.

So It`s not only me with the problem. I am at least happy that I am not alone :) I think that the status of this bug should be changed to In Progress again? if it is in progress... Anyway it is still a not fixed bug for a few people. I think that the only way to be fixed this for all of us, is to set gutsy to set the locale parameter to the fstab automatically as I mentioned before.

Could you try el_GR.utf8 (not el_GR.UTF-8 and not en_US.UTF-8)? Probably it won't make a difference but if 'locale' canonicalises differently then perhaps something else too. It has the same behaviour as when I had set the locale to el_GR.UTF-8, BEFORE I install language-pack-el as Colin suggested. The weird characters and the non accented characters to QT Apps as I wrote on a post above. Does it help if you put into /etc/default/locale LC_ALL=el_GR.UTF-8 and you export it in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh where the LANG variable exported too? export LC_ALL No, the same common for me problem that it is fixed when you umount/mount the ntfs disc. Though something could still set it (back) to C before NTFS mount. Could you please explain me the output of locale -a? I am trying to troubleshoot a thing that I cannot totally understand :( What I have understood until now, is that to have properly read/write support with the ntfs-3g for other languages except English, you have to set the locale before the partition will be mounted.

[Bug 132357] Re: files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly
This system came from a feisty dist-upgrade... After the dist-upgrade to gutsy this is the /etc/fstab I had (and still have). After the boot I have write access on my ntfs file systems with the fstab I already pasted above! That makes me thinking that even if it is says ntfs for the module on the fstab, it uses ntfs-3g! The only problem is that I can`t see and also can`t create files with Greek characters until I do a sudo umount /media/Storage sudo mount /media/Storage. After the umount/mount everything is alright! It is a bit weird behavior... Don`t you think? I am going to try to change to ntfs-3g module on my fstab and I will post again for more info.

The only solution to that problem for me is to pass the locale parameter to the fstab file... With the following fstab line read/write for Greek characters on the NTFS Partitions works fine.. UUID=F0D0F7A1D0F76BEA /media/Storage ntfs defaults,locale=el_GR.UTF-8,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 Why don`t you set gutsy to set the locale parameter to the fstab automatically? I can understand that I am the only one left with that problem but I might not be the only one in the whole world but only in this thread :) By making gutsy entering by default the locale parameter to the fstab, you are minimizing the chances of someone else having my problem too.. I think that even with locale=en_US.UTF-8 would work if I was setting it on the fstab.

I don't want to change /etc/fstab because there are already too many files that need to be changed if you want to change the system default locale (as various bits of the installer, code I help maintain, need to do).

You know better than me :) But I think especially for a new windows user coming to linux this will be a big trouble.. Anyway I will install gutsy on two more PC`s (on two friends. Yes I am making linux promotion to my friends :) probably one of these days, and I will report back my progress with ntfs-3g! If I can send any logs that can help resolve why I am having this behavior please advice!

Please try el_GR.utf8 too. Technically you don't have el_GR.UTF-8 (local -a output). This shouldn't matter but maybe this legacy support was broken by a developer accidentally. -- files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We use *.UTF-8 locales throughout Ubuntu and do not regard them as legacy. In fact that naming scheme is the only one listed in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, which is the canonical list of locale names supported by our system. I view it as an unfortunate accident that 'locale -a' canonicalises differently. -- files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This shouldn't matter but maybe this legacy support was broken by a developer accidentally. I have tried it with el_GR.UTF-8 too and I have exactly the same behavior as with en_US.UTF-8... The only solution for me is to set the locale (which one is not a problem) in the fstab file. the locale -a out should print only my locale? e.g. only en_US.UTF-8 or el_GR.UTF-8? I also realized the by installing language-pack-el it adds in the locale -a output the el_GR.UTF-8 that didn`t existed, but if I set it on /etc/default/locale too (the el_GR.UTF-8) it also changes my apt and a few other things to the Greek language.

Vangelis: Could you try el_GR.utf8 (not el_GR.UTF-8 and not en_US.UTF-8)?

Vangelis: Does it help if you put into /etc/default/locale LC_ALL=el_GR.UTF-8 and you export it in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh where the LANG variable exported too? export LC_ALL Though something could still set it (back) to C before NTFS mount. setlocale(3) ignores LANG if LC_ALL is set. -- files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Anybody knows which package /etc/init.d/mountall.sh belongs? The problem can't be fixed in the ntfs-3g package, only in the one which /etc/init.d/mountall.sh has and its maintainer is apparently not aware of the problem, so he can't fix it. -- files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What's you /etc/fstab? Probably your locale is on a separate partition which weren't mounted yet when ntfs is mounted.

This was fixed friday by Colin Watson, but he didn't change the status of the bug : sysvinit (2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu29) gutsy; urgency=low . * Export LANG in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh (thanks, Florent Mertens; LP: #132357). Vangelis, make sure that your /etc/mountall.sh and your /etc/default/locale are correct, and as Szaka said, check that your your NTFS partition is at the end of your /etc/fstab line. If it still don't work, you can set your locale in the options like that : /dev/sda2 /media/Windows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=fr_FR.UTF-8 0 0 ** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132357 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 132357] Re: files with unusual character sets are sometimes completely invisible to the driver : locale not set correctly
Colin, it seams that the env variable LANG is not exported correctly in /etc/init.d/mountall.sh and so locale is not set correctly. Changing : if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale fi to : if [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then . /etc/default/locale export LANG fi fix this nasty bug. Could you take a look at it ?
