 Posted: Sun Jun 17, 2018 8:35 am Post subject: [SOLVED] KDE and accents in filenames |
 |
|
Hello,
Since a few months, all my KDE applications (k3b, kmymoney, etc.) have huge problems with non-ascii characters in filenames, and cannot open those files or directories.
I'm pretty sure this is not a KDE bug but some mistake I did in my compilation environment. But I cannot find what or where.
Any help or hint would be appreciated.
My current global USE flags are
| Code: |
USE="acl acpi -ada alsa -aqua -bindist -bluetooth cleartype consolekit corefonts dbus -fortran -gnome \
-gstreamer -handbook -ipv6 -kde -kdepim -kdepimlibs -kontact -kwallet -ldap minimal -orc -phonon pulseaudio \
-qt3support -qt4 qt5 -ruby -semantic-desktop -session smp -spell truetype udev -webdav xinerama"
|
TIA,
-- Sarg

In my plasma system no problem with foreign characters in filename.
What locale is set in your system?

Do you have a locale specified in your /etc/fstab file, by any chance, as that can change how filenames with diacritics are handled?

No plasma-meta installed. I'm not using KDE desktop, only some KDE apps.

Accents and diacritics are perfectly OK with bash, my file manager (Caja) and a lot of applications (Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice, etc.). It's only KDE apps that barf on them, and only since a few months. This leads me to believe into some smelly mistake on my compile/config environment. But which one and where ??? |

Hi,
If someone else gets hit by this very annoying problem...
After looking here and there, and compiling one 'offending' application on another computer (where the problem DID NOT appear), I went back to good old-fashionned Gentoo config manual.
The Gentoo Localization guide includes one very small gem that led me to the answer to my troubles :
| Quote: | | In some cases users may notice glitchy non-English representation in some applications like Krusader (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371582). Removing or commenting the LC_ALL="" line from /etc/env.d/02locale should fix the problem. |
Of course, on the affected computer, I had in 02locale, whereas this line was not present on the "properly working" computer.
So I removed the line, made a env-update and I'm back with everything okay. |
