Description of problem:
When I shut down the computer, the hungarian shutdown messages
(Sending all processes the TERM signal etc., but in hungarian) have
UTF-8 problems, all Hungarian characters e.g. ���� look weird, they
are displayed as two messy characters.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.52-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.shutdown with hu_HU.UTF-8 settings


Actual Results:  Weird characters apear in the shutdown messages.

Expected Results:  Normal hungarian characters.

Additional info:

The same messages in /var/log/messages look fine.

Are you shutting down from the GUI or from the console?


Comment 2 Hargitai Gabor 2004-05-23 15:57:55 UTC
From the GUI (directly from Gnome, not from GDM).

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-05-24 16:51:21 UTC
Did you log in on the console at all?

Comment 4 Hargitai Gabor 2004-05-24 17:44:35 UTC
When I'm not logging in on the console, the characters are bad. If I
log in, log out, and shutdown from Gnome, the same. If I shutdown
directly from console, it's fine.

Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2005-09-30 20:53:15 UTC
Closing bugs on older, no longer supported, releases. Apologies for any lack of
response.

Please try to reproduce this on a current release, such as Fedora Core 4. If the
issue persists, please open a new issue.

I believe this is a sideeffect of the virtual terminal that GNOME uses not being
initialized correctly ; this was a kernel bug that is fixed in 2.6.13 and later
kernels.
