 Posted: Fri Jan 28, 2005 12:01 pm Post subject: terminal doesn't recognise special characters (SOLVED) |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a german keyboard and am using catalan locales. Since I did yesterday a
| Code: |
localedef -c -f UTF-8 -i ca_ES ca_ES.UTF-8
' |
to use these locals (which did not work, by the way), my problem is that terminal doesn't recognise characters like á é è à ß ü ä etc... Other applications like gdm do not recognise them either (but in the username I am able to employ them)
But, as you can see, I am able to write them in other applications, like firefox, xemacs, xterm... Couriously vi doesn't display them right either (when called from xterm neither).
This is my /etc/rc.conf
| Code: |
# /etc/rc.conf: Global startup script configuration settings
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/rc.conf,v 1.22 2003/10/21 06:09:42 vapier Exp $
# Use KEYMAP to specify the default console keymap. There is a complete tree
# of keymaps in /usr/share/keymaps to choose from. This setting is used by the
# /etc/init.d/keymaps script.
KEYMAP="de"
#KEYMAP="de-latin1-nodeadkeys"
# Should we first load the 'windowkeys' console keymap? Most x86 users will
# say "yes" here. Note that non-x86 users should leave it as "no".
SET_WINDOWKEYS="yes"
# The maps to load for extended keyboards. Most users will leave this as is.
EXTENDED_KEYMAPS=
#EXTENDED_KEYMAPS="backspace keypad"
# CONSOLEFONT specifies the default font that you'd like Linux to use on the
# console. You can find a good selection of fonts in /usr/share/consolefonts;
# you shouldn't specify the trailing ".psf.gz", just the font name below.
# To use the default console font, comment out the CONSOLEFONT setting below.
# This setting is used by the /etc/init.d/consolefont script (NOTE: if you do
# not want to use it, run "rc-update del consolefont" as root).
CONSOLEFONT="default8x16"
#CONSOLEFONT="lat9w-16"
# CONSOLETRANSALTION is the charset map file to use. Leave commented to use
# the default one. Have a look in /usr/share/consoletrans for a selection of
# map files you can use.
CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni"
#CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-15_to_uni"
# Set CLOCK to "UTC" if your system clock is set to UTC (also known as
# Greenwich Mean Time). If your clock is set to the local time, then set CLOCK
# to "local". This setting is used by the /etc/init.d/clock script.
CLOCK="UTC"
# Set EDITOR to your preferred editor.
#EDITOR="/bin/nano"
EDITOR="/usr/bin/vim"
#EDITOR="/usr/bin/emacs"
# Set PROTOCOLS to the protocols that you plan to use. Gentoo Linux will only
# enable module auto-loading for these protocols, eliminating annoying module
# not found errors.
#
# NOTE: Do NOT uncomment the next lines, but add them to 'PROTOCOLS=...' line!!
#
# Num Protocol
# 1: Unix
# 2: IPv4
# 3: Amateur Radio AX.25
# 4: IPX
# 5: DDP / appletalk
# 6: Amateur Radio NET/ROM
# 9: X.25
# 10: IPv6
# 11: ROSE / Amateur Radio X.25 PLP
# 19: Acorn Econet
# Most users want this:
PROTOCOLS="1 2"
#For IPv6 support:
#PROTOCOLS="1 2 10"
# What display manager do you use ? [ xdm | gdm | kdm | entrance ]
DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm"
# XSESSION is a new variable to control what window manager to start
# default with X if run with xdm, startx or xinit. The default behavior
# is to look in /etc/X11/Sessions/ and run the script in matching the
# value that XSESSION is set to. The support scripts is smart enouth to
# look in all bin directories if it cant find a match in /etc/X11/Sessions/,
# so setting it to "enligtenment" can also work. This is basically used
# as a way for the system admin to configure a default system wide WM,
# allthough it will work if the user export XSESSION in his .bash_profile, etc.
#
# NOTE: 1) this behaviour is overridden when a ~/.xinitrc exists, and startx
# is called.
# 2) even if a ~/.xsession exist, if XSESSION can be resolved, it will
# be executed rather than ~/.xsession, else KDM breaks ...
#
# Defaults depending on what you install currently include:
#
# Gnome - will start gnome-session
# kde-<version> - will start startkde (ex: kde-3.0.2)
# Xsession - will start a terminal and a few other nice apps
XSESSION="Gnome"

Changing between default8x16 and lat9w-16 doesn't help.
Any idea?

Again, I post here the solution of the puzzle hoping that it will help somebody in the future:
| Code: | localedef -c -f ISO-8859-15 -i ca_ES ca_ES.ISO-8859-15
localedef -c -f ISO-8859-15 -i ca_ES@euro ca_ES@euro
|
One of these should solve the problem...
