UTF8 issue when reinstalling and keeping a previous /home that was not in UTF8 When installing instead of upgrading, and keeping a previous /home, the install doesn't convert the /home to UTF8 and some characters might not display properly in filenames. To solve this issue, save the following convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl script in your /home/UserName/, and run the following commands to convert your /home/UserName/ to UTF8 : cd ~/ chmod u+rx convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl ./convert-filenames-to-utf8.pl ----cjs reply---- im wondering what the purpose of midnight commander is? i mean i know its for file moving, but why use midnight commander when you can just use the x server or the kernel? ----end of reply---- -- reg.
