[SOLVED] gnome-terminal and UTF-8/various language variables

[tlippy01]

I've been struggling to figure this out for months, across several version bumps of the package, but now its starting to drive me nuts. When I start gnome-terminal as my normal user it uses character encoding "ANSIX3.4-1968" (the other possibility it shows is "UTF-8"). If I "sudo -s" to root and run it, it starts with "UTF-8" and doesn't even show "ANSI" as an option. Sounds like a simple environment variable thing, right? Well, here's the output of "env" for my regular user, then for root:

So I have at least two questions: why can't I get gnome-terminal to choose UTF-8 when I'm a regular user, and why does root only show the one encoding? I actually assume the only reason root doesn't choose ANSI is because it can't, not because its doing something right...help would be very, very appreciated since I'm starting to see escape characters in my nightmares...

Please post the contents of /etc/env.d/02locale

and your emerge --info

[tlippy01]

I don't have a /etc/env.d/02locale, I remember I created one back when following the UTF guide in an attempt to solve this problem, but it didn't help and so I undid the changes (to keep another factor from setting my env variables). This is the output from "emerge --info":

Take a look at localization. There is a note about LC_ALL that may be important.

[tlippy01]

When I take out LC_ALL and just set LANG, I get the same result...setting LC_ALL was a last-ditch effort.

tom@calculon-minor ~ $ locale

I don't know what else gnome-terminal could be looking at...

[tlippy01]

I added the "gnome" overlay and, on restarting, gnome-terminal seems to be using the UTF-8 locale correctly. So it seems it may have been either an upstream bug or ebuild issue, although I'd be surprised with the former just because it would show up all over the place in other distros etc and Google would have been more helpful. I'll mark this as "solved" for now. [/code]Just for reference, my environment is:

The problem is, that gnome-terminal gets the locale definition from pam-env.
You have to change the following file: /etc/environment an add two lines:

Code: Select all

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
