I have the same problem after upgrading from Ubuntu Studio Hardy to Lucid: When opening an OpenOffice file with non ASCII chars like æøå in either the file name or in the path in Nautilus I get "File does not exist" pop-up message. If I create a new file in OpenOffice and try to save it with non-ASCII chars either in the file name or in the path I also get the file not found message.
If I run from command line I get the following error and the file is NOT opened: l...@anteca:~/Dokumenter/leilighet/sameiet/nøkler$ ooffice "nøkler.odt" I18N: X Window System doesn't support locale "nb_NO.utf8" I18N: Operating system doesn't support locale "en_US" If I open the file from within OpenOffice (Open file) then I also get the file not found error. However, there is a workaround. This works: l...@anteca:~/Dokumenter/leilighet/sameiet/nøkler$ sh -c "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ooffice -writer brev\ aftenposten\ nøkler.odt " OpenOffice is the only program that has this problem. I can open the same file in a text editor fine. This worked fine in Hardy... Locale gives the following: l...@anteca:$ locale LANG=nb_NO.utf8 LANGUAGE=nb_NO:nb:no_NO:no:nn_NO:nn:en LC_CTYPE="nb_NO.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="nb_NO.utf8" LC_TIME="nb_NO.utf8" LC_COLLATE="nb_NO.utf8" LC_MONETARY="nb_NO.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="nb_NO.utf8" LC_PAPER="nb_NO.utf8" LC_NAME="nb_NO.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="nb_NO.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="nb_NO.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="nb_NO.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="nb_NO.utf8" LC_ALL= Hope someone with better understanding for the locales and chars can help out. Must admit I think it is too bad we still have these kinds of basic problems in Ubuntu Linux. -- Files with special characters in filename can't be opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
