After updating "world" couple of days ago, I found that gnome-terminal-2.18.2 has incorrect current locale "ANSI_X3.4-1968" instead of "UTF-8" as was before updating. Such setting fails gnome-terminal to display i18n symbols. Every time i use gnome-terminal I have to change in menu character encoding to UTF-8 to display them correct. This is bug of feature? Or may be in new packages I have to set something new variables? emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.14 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-suspend2-r1.nicevt.den_m x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-suspend2-r1.nicevt.den_m x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00GHz Timestamp of tree: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 07:00:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet" FEATURES="distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="ru_RU.utf8" LC_ALL="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en ru" 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="/usr/src" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac aalib acl acpi alsa amd64 ao audiofile bash-completion berkdb bindist bitmap-fonts bonobo bzip2 cairo cddb cdparanoia cdr clamav cli cracklib crypt cups curl curlwrappers dbus dga directfb dri dts dv dvb dvd dvdr dvdread encode esd exif expat fbcon ffmpeg fftw firefox flac fortran gd gdbm gif gnome gpm graphviz gstreamer gtk hal iconv imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog jabber jack javascript jbig jpeg jpeg2k lcms libcaca libnotify libsamplerate mad maildir matroska midi mikmod mime mmx mng mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap musepack ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offensive ogg openal opengl openmp oss pam pcre pdf perl plotutils png portaudio posix pppd python quicktime rdesktop readline reflection samba sdl session shorten sndfile sockets sound sox speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode usb v4l v4l2 vcd vorbis wmf x264 xcomposite xine xinerama xml xorg xosd xpm xprint 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" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en ru" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY

I've just had this issue on one of my box where I had a very old Gentoo .bashrc that sourced /etc/profile, which gets LANG from /etc/env.d/* The fix for me was to use the .bashrc from /etc/skel which is more recent. Either way, please try that and reopen the bug if it doesn't fix it.

Do you have your gnome-terminal configure to run login shells? It's an option on the Title and Command tab.

I can reproduce the issue for gnome-terminal-{2.18.2,2.18.3,2.18.4}. All have the same bug while the locale is set properly.

Somehow the gnome session seems to not pickup the right locale and sets it wrong for the whole gnome thingy. I rebuild my en_US locale to use UTF-8 and now it works, before it did not use the en_US.UTF-8 that I had specified. With all non-UTF-8 locales gone the issue is fixed though I'm not sure what actually is wrong.
I must point out that on a fresh install it did work for me right away without even touching any config file.
Well, it must have been a locale thing cause rebuilding them all to use just unicode fixed it. What locale does a current fresh Gentoo install set? One with UTF-8? When I started a Terminal the bash within had all the right settings, when I logged in into textmode it worked, too. It must have either been gdm or some gnome-* thingy. Funny thing. When I started a terminal the terminal itself had iso-8859-1 (what the bug was about) but when I ran "gnome-terminal" from within the newly spawned terminal worked correctly. I did some more poking, when I locked my screen (CTRL+ALT+L) and I want to log in again, it should show my Name (Jürgen Geuter) which it did but with a messed up "ü" so it was not just gnome-terminal but other gnome programs, too, which is Why I guess the process that spawned gnome might have had some wrong locale.
I'm an UTF-8 addict so I only use that in my locale.gen. Note that gdm-2.20 series restart itself when you select another language so you can have translated text, so locale of gnome-session and any other gnome stuff should be correct.
I was having this problem, even though my locale -a was showing all "en_US.UTF-8". I was finally able to fix this problem. I had an old .bashrc, so I had to replace that with /skel/.bashrc I had to add "LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"" in a newly created /etc/env.d/02locale. I had to rebuild locales, "localedef -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8" I threw in "env-update" a couple of times, and rebooted (may not have been necessary), and voilá, UTF-8 came up as default. Took hours to figure all this out, but it appears the problem is not with the gnome-terminal ebuild, but rather the .bashrc and the locales, as above. Key for me was the Gentoo documentation, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/utf-8.xml. I suggest that this bug could be closed. Bill Roberts
Closing then :) If anyone else has an issue, don't hesitate to reopen this bug or open a new one. Thanks
