Howto utf8..

When running k3b I get this message as problem:
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968

So I fixed my LC_ALL and added export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 in .zshrc:

[8:28 root ~]# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
[8:28 root ~]#

[8:28 root ~]# locale -a
C
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
POSIX
sv_SE
sv_SE.iso88591
sv_SE.utf8
swedish
tr_TR
tr_TR.iso88599
tr_TR.utf8
turkish
[8:28 root ~]#

But still running k3b from the kde menu or through the run command (alt+f2) I get the same message.. but when running from the terminal I dont get the same message..

This is really getting to my nerves.. and the wiki should be updated for this..

Re: Howto utf8..

still no good with this on as well:

[10:11 root ~]# cat /etc/environment
#
# This file is parsed by pam_env module
#
# Syntax: simple "KEY=VAL" pairs on seperate lines
#
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8

Re: Howto utf8..

Try setting LANG? k3b is working fine for me with the following locales:

$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME=sv_SE.utf8
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY=sv_SE.utf8
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT=sv_SE.utf8
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Re: Howto utf8..

The thing is when I run k3b from terminal it doesnt complain, but from the menu it complains.. Somehow when running through the kde menu it uses other LC_stuff..
