Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

localectl now shows this after setting the keymap:

System Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: us
      X11 Layout: us
       X11 Model: pc105+inet
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

Still the same issue...

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

Ugjka,

look what I just found. I never thought it could be KDE Plasma related.

https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=125083

Edit: It doesn't look like eaxctly the same but close.

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

We actually may have goten closer.

Now my AltGr key which I used to append accents to letters is not working anymore. But I don't get any "question mark character".

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

Well I don't know seems like localectl condenses everything to LANG=fr_FR.utf8 when I try

localectl set-locale LANG=fr_FR.utf8 LANGUAGE=fr_FR.utf8 LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.utf8 LC_COLLATE=fr_FR.utf8 LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_FR.utf8 LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.utf8 LC_MESSAGES=fr_FR.utf8 LC_MONETARY=fr_FR.utf8 LC_NAME=fr_FR.utf8 LC_NUMERIC=fr_FR.utf8 LC_PAPER=fr_FR.utf8 LC_TELEPHONE=fr_FR.utf8 LC_TIME=fr_FR.utf8

the previous command was incorrect

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

Just a sanity check, but what is your keyboard layout in current DE?


I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

More information:

I think my bug it Qt 5 related. Qt 4 and GTK applications don't show this issue. Qt 4 designer behaves like it should, like VLC for example too but Qt 5 Designer fails.

If you guys could help me confirm this, I will report it upstream.

Last thoughts what happens if you uncomment also de_DE and en_US locales in locale.gen?

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

Hello ugjka,

no change.

I reported the bug upstream in the hope it is Qt related. I will update this thread if I get more input.

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-62627

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

If you change the user's ~/.xinitrc back to starting the default twm + xclock + xterms that should eliminate qt as a factor.

Re: [SOLVED] System-wide character encoding issue

This topic was the solution : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214763

Removing .cache solved the issue on both my systems.

Thank you all for your help. Marking as solved.
