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
