Opera/Konqueror have no accents [SOLVED]

[coralsaw]

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: Select all

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_ALL=

Here's the output of locale -a

Code: Select all

Here's the last 2 lines of my /etc/profile

Code: Select all

export LC_CTYPE="el_GR"
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR"

Clearly something is wrong. Can you please help?

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: Select all

$ 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: Select all

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.

Works fine, thx Slammer!
