utf-8
I use Daryna KDE Beta 044.
Why can't I give filenames containing æ,ø and å on my USB HDD? The HDD has the NTFS format. Is this due to trouble with utf-8, and how can it be solved?

TryCode: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
Opened a Konsole. Typed in the command above. Executed OK. Restarted my PC. Mounted the USB HDD and opened it in Konqueror. Trying to create a folder named "øye" I get the error message: Could not make folder /media/sdf1-1/øye. Creating a folder named "hoppe" went ok.
Maybe this has something to do with how KDE is implemented? I believe it is because this works in Daryna Main edition.
Re: utf-8
Yes I have the same locale in both, it is norwegian. But it may be something in there for the KDE version about the add language button. It seems to me it is not possible to add norwegian. Although the system language can be set to norwegian.
Re: utf-8
There is (probably) a way to fix this in the terminal, I'll have to look it up
What doesgive?
What does
Code: Select all
locale -a
Re: utf-8
Please remember that it is a difference in how the KDE version handles internal (SATA) HDD and external USB HDD. For the internal HDD it is OK with file names with æ, ø or å, but not for the USB HDD.
Well, typing sudo locale -a in the terminal, I get this:
C
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
nb_NO.utf8

Re: utf-8
Sometimes thinking is disabled
Internal - external
Internal OK as expected
External - I fear this may have to do with USB strangely enough. USB must use some "protocol", "method" or whatever you want to call it, and that one may not handle non ascii well..
On the other hand there are USB keyboards around
*scratching my head*

Re: utf-8
I have now switched over to Daryna Main edition, and this is not a problem here. My conclusion is that this has something to with KDE and how USB devices are handled there. I have tried Mandriva and it was the same thing there.Husse wrote:Sometimes thinking is disabled
