Oh well, just upgraded to the 0.24 dailies, and this issue is back! -- locale is not set up before mythtv-backend start causing problems in mythvideo with accentuated chars https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/541042 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu.
Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Triaged Bug description: Spotted that in 10.04, the locale is not set before mythtv-backend is started. This prevents mythtv-backend to find any file with non-ascii characters in the filename or the path (for example: /var/lib/mythtv/videos/Komödie/Dinner for one.avi is not found). While starting mythbuntu-backend, the locale is POSIX. I modified "/etc/init/mythtv-backend.conf" for debug purpose: ############################################# # MythTV Backend service description "MythTV Backend" author "Mario Limonciello <[email protected]>" start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE=lo) stop on starting shutdown #expect fork respawn script USER=mythtv ARGS="--logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --user $USER" locale >/tmp/mythbackendboot.log test -f /etc/default/mythtv-backend && . /etc/default/mythtv-backend || true LANG=de_CH.utf8 /usr/bin/mythbackend $ARGS end script ############################################ Result: ############################################ LANG= LC_CTYPE="POSIX" LC_NUMERIC="POSIX" LC_TIME="POSIX" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" LC_MONETARY="POSIX" LC_MESSAGES="POSIX" LC_PAPER="POSIX" LC_NAME="POSIX" LC_ADDRESS="POSIX" LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX" LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX" LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX" LC_ALL= ############################################ Adding LC_ALL=de_CH.utf8 LANG=de_CH.utf8 in front of /usr/bin/mythtv-backend does the trick, then everything works just perfect.... Where is locale supposed to be set up in this whole upstart-process? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
