Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
I want to try burning a DVD using k3b and when it starts up it |
4 |
complains: |
5 |
|
6 |
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 |
7 |
Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode |
8 |
filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this |
9 |
has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at |
10 |
all. |
11 |
An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data |
12 |
projects. |
13 |
Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* |
14 |
environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools |
15 |
take care of this. |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
Googling "LC_* environment variables" turns up this doc: |
19 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml#doc_chap3 |
20 |
|
21 |
I assume this document is correct & up to date? |
22 |
(and is not superseded by the LINGUAS="en_GB en" that I have in |
23 |
make.conf) |
24 |
|
25 |
This doc refers to a /etc/env.d/02locale file - I assume I have to |
26 |
create that by hand? The file does not exist at present. I guess this |
27 |
is the kind of thing I'd kinda expect you to create by symlinking to / |
28 |
usr/share/linguas/England or something. |
29 |
|
30 |
Finally, does anyone have the correct LANG and LC_COLLATE settings for |
31 |
the United Kingdom, please? I assume that again something starting |
32 |
"en_GB" is used. |
33 |
|
34 |
Do I need to set ALL LC_* variables (the guide lists 9 of them) or |
35 |
just those 2? |
36 |
|
37 |
This server is headless, so I'm using X11 over ssh - kcontrol's left- |
38 |
hand pane is blank. |
39 |
|

Thanks in advance for any help, |
