Hello,

I followed the advice in Greek Accented Vowels Howto sticky thread and now I can perfectly well Alt-Shift and write in Greek. I can also write accented Greek in aMule, for instance.

What I can't do is write accented Greek in Opera, or Konqueror. Greek is ok, but when I press the accent key <;> and a letter it doesn't come up. Pressing it again gives me the apostrophe. Clearly I need to do something more but what? BTW, I'm not interested in console Greek for the moment, just X.

Here's the output of locale
Code:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=el_GR
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=el_GR
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=

Here's the output of locale -a
Code:
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
de_DE
de_DE@euro
en_HK
en_PH
en_US
en_US.utf8
es_MX
fa_IR
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
it_IT
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.utf8

Here's the last 2 lines of my /etc/profile
Code:
export LC_CTYPE="el_GR"
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR"

Clearly something is wrong. Can you please help?

Ευχαριστώ πολύ,

/coralsaw

Apo oti blepw coralsaw kati paizei me ta locale sou. Sto locale -a pou etre3es den blepw na sou ebgale to el_GR. Enw edw:
Code:
$ locale -a |grep el_GR
el_GR
el_GR.utf8

Ta locale mpainoun otan ginetai emerge h glibc. Mhpws exeis kanei tpt sta locale esy? Epishs den mas eipes pou exeis balei ta export LC_CTYPE kai LC_COLLATE (se poio arxeio ennow).

The message in English:
There seems to be a problem with your locales. The output of locale -a that you gave us has no reference of el_GR anywhere. When I try it here I get:
Code:
$ locale -a |grep el_GR
el_GR
el_GR.utf8

Have you done anything with the locales? locales are installed during the installation of glibc. Also you haven't told us where exactly you have done the exports of LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE (which files I mean).

Thx for the reply parapente (I'll stick to En for the moment, if it's ok). I haven't done anything with the locales, perhaps I need to install more? How is this done?

Regarding the LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE, I added them in /etc/profile.

Your glibc does not support Greek locales.
Rebuild your glibc adding the el_GR.UTF-8 locale.

EDIT
Modify the /etc/locales.build file and include the following lines:
Code:

el_GR/ISO-8859-7
el_GR.UTF-8/UTF-8


Rebuild at least glibc (I dont know if you have to rebuild more packages)
Now the Greek locales have to be available.
