 |
|
Hi -
It seems like everytime I setup a new Japanese environment in gentoo I come across this issue with Japanese input and konsole. When you enter in Japanese text into the konsole app what should display is :
After you hit the enter key, what actually displays is:
| Code: | | 日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語日本語 |
To fix the issue do this:
- start konsole ie. /usr/kde/3.5/bin/konsole
- set encoding to utf8 via the konsole settings menu (settings --> encoding --> utf8)
- save as default (settings --> save as default)
- make sure your LANG var is set to a UTF8 variant, you can check by doing this: echo $LANG from the konsole prompt. You should get something like this: en_US.UTF-8
- if you don't get anything you can set your LANG variable in ~/.bashrc
| Code: | | echo LANG=\'en_US.UTF-8\' >> ~/.bashrc |
logout and log back in and you should be able to input Japanese in konsole without the repetition issue mention above.
Cheers, |
