fixed in FC3 I tried dialog-1.0.20040731-3.i386.rpm from FC3 - problem is still the same. Newer version of dialog need a newer glibc... That's a problem of UTF-8. Now I use the following settings and anything works as aspected. /etc/sysconfig/i18n: LANG="de_DE" keyboard: de-latin1-nodeadkeys /etc/samba/smb.conf: unix charset = ISO8859-15 display charset = ISO8859-15 This applies to RHEL3, too. Disabling the default unicode mode solves my problems. well, the client and server charsets have to be the same... too bad the most protocols (smb, telnet, ssh) do not handshake this... |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: dialog doesn't display some German letters correctly, e.g. Umlaut-A ("Latin capital letter A with diaeresis") My current settings are: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 TERM=linux SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" LC_xxx=de_DE.UTF-8 keyboard and console in unicode mode keymap de-latin1-nodeadkeys I have tried out different terminal types, charsets, locales and so on - nothing is okay. Here's in examples for something what's going wrong: ... $DLG --title "Hauptmenü" --menu "Auswahl" 0 0 0 \ "1" "AAA" "2" "BBB" 2> $tempfile ... If I type Umlaute in an inputbox then I only see wrong letters on the screen, but the returned string (stderr) is correct. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dialog-1.0.20043107-3.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put some German Umlaute in dialog shell scripts 2. run script 3. have a look at wrong display 4. have a look at correct stderr output Actual Results: German Umlaute will be displayed wrong Expected Results: German Umlaute should be display as the are ( ä ö ü à à à Ã) Additional info: I know this problem since FC1 (dialog-0.9b-20031002.1) and it maybe occur in earlier versions, too. I use dialog in a shell script that can restore individual files from a tar archive. My customer is a little bit confused about seeing file or directory names which are displayed wrong in a checklist: [X] /home/user1/profile/Startmen??/Zubeh??r/... but restored correctly: /home/user1/profile/Startmenü/Zubehör/...
