Bogus filenames?

ftornell · 2009-11-30 22:52:31

Hi,
When accessing some Windows Shares or USB drives I se bogus names on the folders and files?!

Im am from Sweden and have åäö characters and they are displayed as "?" or something else.

For instance: Saturday is called Lördag in Swedish and will have it's folder called like L?rdag or sometimes just L

How can I get this to work correctly?

I think it is just the font not having those characters.

What programs are you using though? I've only had this problem with the basic tty, never in X.

You can try using "iocharset=" in fstab - I remember I had to use that with FAT partitions.

@Neheb - it's a basic tty, don't run X on that server at all.
Tried to mount a usb stick with some photos on but it looks kinda messy with those uggly foldernames.
I can type the specific letters in the shell...have enabled the keymap sv-latin1 in rc.conf

@lucke - iocharset? ill try google that one and see what it's all about

Ill keep you posted, couse I really want this to work!

Console fonts are limited to 256 or 512 characters. Which console font are you using? And which console map did you setup in /etc/rc.conf ? I'm confident you can solve this issue by either changing the console font or the console map.

Here it is:

LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Stockholm"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT=
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

I also have sv_SE enabled but not as the active one couse I still like to see english words instead of swedish.

# locale -a
C
POSIX
en_US
en_US.iso88591
en_US.utf8
sv_SE
sv_SE.iso88591
sv_SE.utf8
swedish

And I can type correct characters åäö, since I use sv-latin1.

Shall I use a consolefont and consolemap to get this right?

Do you have X installed at all? If so I'd load up a terminal in X just to make sure that it's a console font issue.
