[SOLVED] Problems with characters

[combuster@vostro /]$ cd /boot
[combuster@vostro bott]$ cd /data
[combuster@vostro dtaa]$ cd /proc
[combuster@vostro pocc]$ cd /usr/share
[combuster@vostro share]$

As you can see these directories except share are displayed incorrectly. Also, I've burned a DVD with brasero today and all the data were inside one directory but when I've opened the contents in nautilus it showed up with two directories one of wich is empty and have scrambled name like the ones I've posted. I don't know wich package introduced this bug, anybody else experince this ? I have testing enabled ofcourse...

I experience the same bug with my bash prompt. Noticed it yesterday when I did "cd .." from my homedir, it would show up as hmme instead of home.

I've noticed it on my presentation of graduation paper (final exam on college, paper was about linux kernel), man when I've wanted to show /boot directory with several kernel images and when it displayed bott on the projector - I just hoped no one noticed LOL, timing couldn't be worse

Could this be bash related or... ?

It's a bug in glibc in testing on x86_64. Downgrading glibc to the core version fixes it.

This commit causes it:
http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git; … e8efa74afb

I am building with --disable-multi-arch now to see if it fixes it.

and glibc-2.12-2 should fix this.

Yep, fixed it, thnx
