[Bug 222367] Re: Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well
>From the xscreensaver 5.31 changelog: UTF-8 text support (instead of only Latin1) and antialiased text on X11 with Xft (instead of only on OSX/iOS) in fontglide, noseguy, fliptext, starwars, and winduprobot. The other text-displaying hacks (apple2, phosphor, xmatrix, and gltext) also now accept UTF-8 input, though they convert it to Latin1 or ASCII. Fixed in xenial and later. ** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Fix Released ** Changed in: xscreensaver Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222367 Title: Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xscreensaver/+bug/222367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 222367] Re: Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I am unable to find any star wars screensaver in the Ubuntu repositories, is it a 3rd party screensaver? Can you try this in Karmic 9.10 please? If it still fails, please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal: apport-collect 222367 This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to Change Non-Private data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance! When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's Help - Report a Problem menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs. ** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 222367] Re: Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well
Starwars is in the xscreensaver-gl-extra package. The bug can be reproduced with: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/starwars -program 'echo write ö here' (or any other non-ascii character in the string) Unfortunately, the xscreensaver code is not very good at UTF-8. It uses iso-8859-1, so this will work: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/starwars -program 'echo write ö here | iconv -f utf8 -t iso-8859-1' ** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You shouldn't really confirm your own bugs but it was correct anyway :) I can confirm this, will add apport-collect info, and thanks for reporting this. ** Changed in: xscreensaver (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- Star Wars screensaver doesn't handle non-ASCII well https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222367 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
