I use screen to convert eucJP encoding to UTF8 for terminal I/O. It works fine with RHEL 7 and Fedora 40, but it does not with Fedora 42. screen 4.1.0 (RHEL 7): OK screen 4.9.1 (Fedora 40): OK screen 5.0.1 (Fedora 42): NG I found a similar report and discussion in upstream GNU site. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66614 See URL above (Comment #16 is mine). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare the files to be used $ export LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 $ echo "defencoding eucJP" >/tmp/screenrc-eucjp $ echo "あたらしい朝が来た 希望の朝だ" > /tmp/SAMPLE_UTF8.txt $ iconv -f UTF8 -t EUCJP /tmp/SAMPLE_UTF8.txt > /tmp/SAMPLE_EUCJP.txt 2. Run screen command $ screen -T vt100 -c /tmp/screenrc-eucjp 3. Do following in screen prompt $ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP $ date $ cat /tmp/SAMPLE_EUCJP.txt Actual Results: $ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP $ date 2025t 9± 15å ±Üå 22:18:25 JST $ cat /tmp/SAMPLE_EUCJP.txt B_ WD≠Le_ ┐≥n≠` Expected Results: $ export LANG=ja_JP.eucJP $ date 2025年 9月 15日 月曜日 22:18:25 JST $ cat /tmp/SAMPLE_EUCJP.txt あたらしい朝が来た 希望の朝だ Additional Information: This issue seems to be fixed by applying following patch. https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/943b2e86904abb6afd803c463d276af8fad26a24/packages/screen/issue-22688.patch
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '42'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 42 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed.
I presume this still affects F44+? Can we apply https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/pull/23096 in fedora for this?
I am happy to create a PR for rawhide if it helps
Does tmux behave better btw? (I general I prefer just to use tmux these days)
I'm experiencing the exact same problem with Fedora 44, so I've updated the target version to 44. Are there any maintainers (from Japan, Korea, or China) who are aware of this issue?
Thank you - that is good. Any chance you could try tmux? (the keybindings are a bit different: biggest difference is Ctrl-b instead Ctrl-a)
