Neil, |
| 18 |
Thanks. This is helping me get to the root cause. It appears that |
| 19 |
the real problem has something to do with non-standard characters for |
| 20 |
American English. The first directory that was failing was a Spanish |
| 21 |
Edition of a CD. When I went and looked at it there were three songs |
| 22 |
that used different sorts of accent character over vowels. I changed |
| 23 |
these characters on both machines and then unison got further, so I |
| 24 |
changed a second CD and it got further yet. Unfortunately I've been at |
| 25 |
this about an hour and am just finishing up changing the "A"'s so I'd |
| 26 |
like to try and understand what the issue here really is ad find a fix |
| 27 |
that doesn't require making any changes. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
The failure in unison is a dialog box with this message: |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Uncaught exception Glib.convert.error(1, "Invalid byte sequence in |
| 32 |
conversion input") |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
This failure is from the name "Angelique Kidjo" where a forward accent |
| 35 |
appears over the first 'e' in Angelique. When I remove this unison |
| 36 |
goes further but fails for more stuff like this. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I use a program called Aqualung (not in portage unfortunately) to |
| 39 |
play these directories and it doesn't have any trouble with these |
| 40 |
non-standard accent characters so why does unison? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
One last thing. I note that when I change these characters on the |
| 43 |
local machine that it takes one backspace in a terminal to erase the |
| 44 |
character, while on the remote machine (logged in through ssh like |
| 45 |
unison would be) it takes two backspaces to change the character. Does |
| 46 |
this mean anything to you? It's beyond me. Note that locales are |
| 47 |
probably not identical between the two machines. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Again, thanks to you and the other folks who responded. At least I |
| 50 |
could probably get past this problem with a couple of days of work but |
| 51 |
I'm hoping for a more internationalized solution. |
| 52 |

Cheers, |
