Hi,
I have recently installed debian-testing on my new laptop
And have tried to type in hebrew in a virtual console(konsole or xterm)
when running xterm I recieve the following message:
"Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged"
I have tried the following values for LC_ALL
he_IL,he_IL.utf8,he_IL.UTF-8,he_IL.iso8859-8,en_US.utf8,en_US.UTF-8
all produce the same result.
I manage to display hebrew text files in the console and
I manage to type in hebrew in kedit.
by running:
LC_ALL=he_IL
export LC_ALL
strace xterm -fn heb6x13
I found the following snippet which seems to be relevant:
>open("/usr/lib/locale/he_IL/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
>open("/usr/lib/locale/he/LC_IDENTIFICATION", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
>write(2, "Warning: locale not supported by"..., 61Warning: locale not
supported by C library, locale unchan
dpkg -l locales produced:
ii locales 2.3.2.ds1-12 GNU C Library: National Language
(locale) da
I have tried fiddling both with konsole and with xterm with various fonts
and settings for LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE, with no use. en_US and C seem to
work fine other locales don't.
does this make any sense to anybody, help will be more then welcome.
Meir Maor.
