When I use console login and then run startx, then everything's fine. But when I use gdm to log myself in, unicode support on terminal gets broken. I followed official documentation to enable unicode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make a file using unicode 2.see the file after startx 3.compare after logging through gdm Actual Results: as described - broken unicode after gdm login Expected Results: should work perfectly ;) LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_ALL="pl_PL.UTF-8" USE="unicode"
Could you show output of locale command when you use startx and after you used gdm ?
$ locale LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_TIME="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_NAME="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 Results are equal for startx and gdm.
did you choose language in gdm from menu? If yes try set it to default.
This is fixed for me Portage 2.1.3.19 (default-linux/x86/2007.0, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.23-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.23-gentoo-r1 i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2300 @ 1.66GHz Timestamp of tree: Fri, 23 Nov 2007 07:46:02 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.0.33-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.9-r2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.16 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -msse3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/splash /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -mfpmath=sse -msse3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ " LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local/layman/sunrise /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac acl acpi aim alsa ape asf audiofile avahi avi bash-completion bcmath beagle bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 bzlib cairo caps cdb cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrparanoia cli cpdflib cracklib cross crypt css cups curl curlwrappers daap dbus divx4linux djvu dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread eds emerald encode escreen evo exif fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac foomaticdb fortran ftp galago gb gcj gd gif gimp gimpprint glitz glut glx gmp gnome gphoto2 gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal hddtemp iconv imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack java jikes jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility latex lcms lesstif libnotify lm_sensors logrotate mac mad mbox midi mikmod mime ming mmap mmx mmxext mng modplug mono motif mp3 mpeg mpi mplayer mudflap musepack musicbrainz nas ncurses nethack nls nocd nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs nvidia ogg oggvorbis openal opengl openmp opnegl pam pcmcia pcre pdf pdflib perl pic png pnp posix ppds pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection reiserfs rpm rtc ruby scanner sdl seamonkey session slang slp smp sndfile sockets socks5 speex spell spl sse sse2 sse3 ssl startup-notification svg syslog tcltk tcpd tetex tga theora threads tiff timidity tk truetype truetype-fonts trusted type1-fonts unicode usb userlocales v4l v4l2 vcd videos vim vorbis wifi win32codecs wma wmf wxwindows x86 xattr xcomposite xine xml xorg xpm xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" DVB_CARDS=" " ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="es es_ES en_US" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv vesa fbdev" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I thought I updated the status of this bug report. Choosing the language again in GDM helped. I had unchanged setting from previously installed system.Thanx, Alex Simonov :)
