similar to: Correctly displaying different charsets in Gnome-Terminal

Hi, Our public library management software (PMB) is currently running on a Slackware Linux 12.0 server, with Apache, PHP, MySQL and a few PHP modules. I'm considering migrating it to CentOS 5.1, because it would be easier to maintain for updates, and for various other reasons. Slackware is one of the rare distros that does not default to an utf8 system locale. The default is en_US, and

Hi, Much of my work consists in connecting to the MySQL monitor on our public library database server and working in it. Until recently, I've been using either Gnome-Terminal in GNOME, or Konsole in KDE. Since all the systems, both server and clients, default to fr_FR.UTF-8, and MySQL uses a default latin1 charset, I usually switch the displayed charset within Gnome-Terminal or Konsole.

Hi, I'm running my CentOS 7 desktop in french. LANG is set to fr_FR.UTF-8. In GNOME 3, the menu entries are listed in alphabetical order. Unfortunately, entries beginning with an accented character (like "?diteur de texte") appear at the bottom of the list. I know that in order to correct this, I have to set the LC_COLLATE variable to fr_FR.UTF-8. What would be a sensible place

Hi, I've been setting up a networked printer in a 100% Linux LAN, and there's only one small problem left: how do I localize the CUPS interface (e. g. the pages I see when opening http://localhost:631 in a browser)? My system is localized in french. LANG is fr_FR.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n. And I checked Firefox: it's supposed to open web content in French. Curiously, I had

Hi, I just installed GtkCDLabel, a nifty little app to create CD covers in a matter of minutes, if not seconds, and which I've been using on a daily basis on Slackware (previous system). I've encountered some encoding issues. Whenever my CD text contains french special characters like ?, ?, ? and ?, the resulting .ps file displays martian characters instead. 'printenv' shows me

Hi, I'm having a weird problem on a CentOS 6 server. I installed the machine in french, so I have LANG=fr_FR.UTF8 defined. I'd like to define en_US.UTF8, because some output is better readable in english, like chkconfig --list. I replaced fr_FR.UTF8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n and /boot/grub/grub.conf. Unfortunately, when I reboot the system, I still get this: # echo $LANG fr_FR.UTF-8 Any

Hi, I have CentOS 5 installed, and I'd like to read the RHEL 5 Deployment Guide in french. The online version seems to be available in english only. There's an RPM package on my system: # rpm -qa | grep -i depl Deployment_Guide-fr-FR-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Deployment_Guide-en-US-5.0.0-19.el5.centos Now what does the package consist of? 'rpm -ql' on the package shows a series of

Hi, I received a bug report from a French user who told me there was something wrong with the function packageVersion(), but packageDescription() worked well. Below is the session info; I'm not sure if other French users can reproduce the error message: > packageVersion('base') Erreur : sp?cification de version incorrecte base > sessionInfo() R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16)

Hi, Our local school has a 100 % CentOS network on servers and desktops. Until recently, we were using a highly customized Xfce desktop environment. Last week I decided to migrate all desktops from Xfce to GNOME, which went quite well. Now I have to sand down some rough edges. The secretary complained that she can't use the numeric keypad as before. She's using LibreOffice Calc a lot,

Hi, I am trying to use the gettext() function to translate some text. I have never used this function before, so, it's entirely possible that I am doing something wrong. The issue that I am encountering is that gettext() properly translates some text, but not some other. Natural language was compiled in my R (installed from the Debian repositories): $ R R version 2.15.1 (2012-06-22) --

Hello, I m a french user of Gnome / Ubuntu (last version) and wine. I'm quite a beginner on linux. I'm trying to switch totally to linux, but still want to use some windows software with wine which generally works great. I have figured out that the dead keys did not work on my french keyboard. For instance, I can't type ???????, etc. I will get instead ^e^a etc. Otherwise, the

Hi, I just installed Ubuntu 12.04.4. I installed R by following instructions from CRAN after modification into my /etc/apt/sources.list file sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install r-base sudo apt-get install r-base-dev When I try to load library(gdata) ou library(gplots), I have error message : library(gdata) gdata: read.xls support for 'XLS' (Excel 97-2004) files

Dear R users, I have just upgraded R from 2.11 to 2.12 on Ubuntu 9.04 (see more informations at the end) from the cran apt-get repository.

Hello, on CentOS 6, I am routinely writing mails in English, German and French and using the related hunspell dictionaries for the spelling in Firefox (I'm using Google Apps).
