Hi, Upgraded my distribution to ubuntu 8.10 on my PC and laptop a few days back. Built and installed the latest version of ion. On doing so, i am not able to type in queries. This problem is notoriously similar to the one i faced a few months back on my laptop running 8.04. But back then changing the locale to en_US.utf8 had got it working. This time around, i am not so lucky. The errors reported in .xsession-errors are a bit different now.
/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... Setting IM through im-switch for locale=en_IN. Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default. ion3: No encoding given in LC_CTYPE. Not sure why is it complaining about the LC_CTYPE. Tried a multitude of places of exporting LC_CTYPE (.xsession, bashrc, /etc/environment), but the same error/message is reported. Could not find much relevant information on searching. Not sure where the problem is, although my doubt is that some configuration is done a bit differently in ubuntu intrepid. Could someone suggest a way for ion to read the LC_CTYPE variable. Typing in the command 'locale' gives out this sugh...@hardy:~$ locale LANG=en_IN LC_CTYPE="en_IN" LC_NUMERIC="en_IN" LC_TIME="en_IN" LC_COLLATE="en_IN" LC_MONETARY="en_IN" LC_MESSAGES="en_IN" LC_PAPER="en_IN" LC_NAME="en_IN" LC_ADDRESS="en_IN" LC_TELEPHONE="en_IN" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_IN" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_IN" LC_ALL= -- sughosh
