Re: [gentoo-user] Umlaut trouble in filenames
Again, I have some problem with umlauts, this time with remote files I want to download via FTP. In KDE4, Dolphin and konqueror are unable to read the file. I can get it manually via command line ftp, but then again dolphin or ark are unable to do anything with it. No big problem, I can rename the file using wild cards or tab completion, or using convmv, but this just looks wrong to me. Or is this normal? My $LANG is de_DE.utf8, and in /etc/locale.gen I have: en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de...@euro ISO-8859-15 Wonko

It's described in the german version only. I have it set to de_DE.UTF8 now. I think that the localization guide refers to /etc/locale.gen which uses the format: locale charmap So, de_DE.UTF-8 is the locale (as shown in /usr/share/i18n/locales/) and UTF-8 is the character map (as shown in /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Wonko nope, I have: de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8 de_DE ISO-8859-1 de...@euro ISO-8859-15 in locale.gen and lang=de...@euro language=de...@euro lc_all=de...@euro set. which works well. utf gave me trouble in the past, so I shelfed that idea a long time ago.

[gentoo-user] Umlaut trouble in filenames
Hi there! I have a problem with umlauts in file names. They are working fine when I create a file, but I have lots of files I moved from my former system that show umlauts just as a question mark. I think I transferred them via NFS. I have lang=de_de.u...@euro set now, before it was unset. Those umlaut files refuse to play in applications like amarok2. I can rename them with mv on the command line, making use of tab completion, but it's annoying. So, does anyone have a trick to automate this? I tried using tr. Using od -t x1 I see that what has to be 'ü' comes out as 0374 (octal). But echo ü | od -t o1 gives 0303 0274 which tells me that in unicode the umlauts are coded as two bytes. But I think I cannot use tr to replace one character by a sequence of two characters. And with sed, I don't know how to express the source string, it does not seem to be capable of octal notation. The only way I see is to use tr to replace the original ü with some special character like €, and then use sed to replace € by ü. And repeat this for [äöüÄÖÜß] and all the accented characters which I do not know how to type here with nodeadkeys option set in xorg.conf (I'd be interested in how to do this, too). Do you have simpler ideas? Wonko
