 Posted: Mon Jun 23, 2014 4:43 pm Post subject: ä ü ö and ß in vim, kate, ... |
 |
|
Hi there,
in my shells (and thunderbird, e.g.) everything is fine. However in kate or vim the characters ä ü ö or ß are not displayed correctly or cannot be inserted properly. Here i'm stuck.
My locale says:
| Code: |
cat@gentoo ~ $ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=C
cat@gentoo ~ $ locale -a
C
POSIX
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
|
my /etc/vim/vimrc looks like:
| Code: |
scriptencoding utf-8

I think your locale setting is the problem. My locale is as following:
| Code: |
locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
|
I think especially your "LC_ALL=C". |

Mati ... schorsch_76 is basically correct, seems you are setting LC_ALL which you shouldn't.
/etc/env.d/02locale
| Code: | LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C" |
That should be all thats required, though you can set LC_TIME to something other than de_DE.UTF-8 dependent on how you want the date to be displayed.
If you are setting LC_ALL, LANG, etc, via ~/.{z,bash_}profile then comment these out.
BTW, as these are inherited by subprocesses of the shell I have the following in make.conf
| Code: | LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="${LANG}"
LC_COLLATE="${LANG}"
LC_MESSAGES="${LANG}" |
This insures that portage only uses a C locale (which can solve certain packages failing to build for various reasons) and insures the output from portage isn't localised.

This is gentoo. You have an eselect for this.  | Code: | ~ # eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[1] C
[2] de_DE
[3] de_DE@euro
[4] de_DE.iso88591
[5] de_DE.iso885915@euro
[6] de_DE.utf8 *
[7] de_DE.utf8@euro
[8] deutsch
[9] en_US
[10] en_US.iso88591
[11] en_US.utf8
[12] german
[13] POSIX
[ ] (free form) |

Yamakuzure ... yes, you do, but this will not add LC_COLLATE=C and so this will be set to whatever you set the locale to.

if u intended to use a german system with all "unlaute" change your locale to this:
| Code: | LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=
|
this works also for systemd and openrc UTF-8 system |

nenemsis5 ... no, there are various reasons to set LC_COLLATE=C ... a search on b.g.o will probably find various open bugs relating to having this set to utf-8 ... see: bug #208082.

Thanks for your help. Unfortunately it didn't change anything yet. I did as khayyam suggested and changed my 02locale to this:
| Code: |
cat /etc/env.d/02locale
# Configuration file for eselect
# This file has been automatically generated.
#LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
#LC_COLLATE="C"
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="C"
|
and also did a locale-gen afterwards.
More output now:
| Code: |
locale -a
C
POSIX
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
|
| Code: |
cat .bashrc
# /etc/skel/.bashrc
#
if [[ $- != *i* ]] ; then
# Shell is non-interactive. Be done now!
return
fi
# Put your fun stuff here.
#export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
#export LC_COLLATE="C"
export PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/i386-linux:$PATH
|
| Code: |
eselect locale list
Available targets for the LANG variable:
[1] C
[2] POSIX
[3] de_DE.utf8
[4] en_US.utf8
[5] de_DE.UTF-8 *

LANG=ISO-8859-1
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"

LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"

Is the Language set in /etc/env.d/70locale ?
Did you run
| Code: |
update-env
. /etc/profile

Well, another wild guess, which shell is being used? You checked .bashrc but you may use different shell.
It is funny, that /etc/env.d/02locale has LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" and output of "locale" gives LANG=ISO-8859-1.
Basically, there's some place where wrong locale is set. This place can be shell init files, X windows init files, possibly some other scripts used to initiate your environment. |
