From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: When viewing directories and listings of filenames which are named in non-latin characters, it appears as question marks, we found the solution is to add iocharset=utf8 in the fstab for CD-ROMs and floppies...etc What if it is included by default in the fstab when installed, and that will make it easy for all non-latin speakers to see their filenames in their own languages. It wouldn't harm anyone, since UTF-8 is the default charset in RedHat 8.0 ( and above !!) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Edit the fstab to add the iocharset option 2.Have files named in non-latin characters 3.View them in your favourite file manager Actual Results: It will help non-expert users alot Additional info:
Isn't it time to revise the issue again ?? It won't harm anyone, but sure it will benefit alot of people.
Not sure why I'm on the CC of this bug report as I've no opinion on the matter, nor would I be involved in it's resolution... Removing myself...
Duplicates: #101987, #107834, #107935. This problem has been reported least three times during severn beta cycle. #107834 has alternative fix. I hope this gets fixed before FC1 release.
Any resolutions ??
This is changed in the rawhide kernel... it defaults to utf-8.
