Samba does not default its iocharset to UTF-8 when mounting shares in unicode, even when both client and servers are UTF-8 systems. Other smb using systems seem to follow the same wrong defaults. KDE: See the upstream Bug: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158639 --------------------------------------------------- When opening the folder smb://ichi/SharedDocs/ it will display the following error: File does not exist: smb://ichi/SharedDocs/Meus%20v%C3%ADdeos when trying to display the folder 'Meus Vídeos'. Its file type will remain as 'unknown'. The same happens to another folder, 'Minhas Músicas'. But the error box won't happen, just the other effects (unknown). These names remain displayed correctly within the folder. --- When creating a file named 'Tést' in that SharedDocs folder, it will display the same first error as before, because 'Meus Vídeos' < 'Tést'. However, the file is being displayed as 'T?st', the ? being a weird white-on-black ? symbol. I cannot delete that newly created file. All the operations described above can be done correctly in my home folder in this machine. This is a LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 system. The 'ichi' host is a Windows XP Home. --------------------------------------------------- Samba: --------------------------------------------------- Forcing the mount in utf8 with smbmount //ICHI/SharedDocs samba -o iocharset=utf8 does work correctly. Browsing that mount with Dolphin works as expected. Mounting w/o the iocharset flag displays the wrong charset. testparm -v | grep char dos charset = CP850 unix charset = UTF-8 display charset = LOCALE mangling char = ~ smb.conf seems fine, but smbmount does not follow its config. What does it default to? iocharset should follow something. --------------------------------------------------- emerge --info Portage 2.1.4.4 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r1, 2.6.23-gentoo-r5 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.23-gentoo-r5 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz Timestamp of tree: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 02:30:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.5 dev-lang/python: 2.5.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 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, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.24 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" 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 routeshare shm softvol" ANT_HOME="/usr/share/ant-core" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ARCH="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CAMERAS="canon" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CLASSPATH="."

Dear Bruno, this is not a real bug, but rather a misunderstanding. Please understand that neither smbmount, mount.smbfs or mount.cifs read your smb.conf. They just call kernel [modules] to mount remote directory. If you do not want to pass iocharset=utf8 all the time, just set CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT="utf8" during kernel configuration. (hidden under Filesystems -> NLS)
This is indeed not bug for kde4 but misundersand on how it actually works. Closing.
