Bug 76187 – IPTraf in unicode console

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Makurin Roman 2004-12-30 16:55:16 UTC]

When set console(not X terminal) to UNICODE encoding IPtraf interface seems to be unusable. All other applications(mc, centericq) are OK

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up gentoo to use utf8
2. emerge iptraf

utf8 people - have you seen this before?

[Comment 2 Aaron Walker (RETIRED) 2005-01-27 05:24:57 UTC]

can anyone else reproduce this? works fine for me with en_US.utf8.

[Comment 3 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) 2005-01-28 05:04:06 UTC]

i can reproduce it.
The borderlines are missing and it looks strange.

/etc/rc.conf:
UNICODE="yes"
CONSOLEFONT="ter-114n"

# locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=POSIX
LC_TIME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NAME=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_ALL=


sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r5  -bootstrap -build -debug -doc -nocxx (-uclibc) +unicode
net-analyzer/iptraf-2.7.0-r1  -ipv6


i get the nice-looking interface with:
unicode_stop; LC_ALL=POSIX iptraf

seems to work here. Please provide exact details and reopen if you still have problems.

[Comment 5 Alexander Simonov 2005-02-19 05:24:51 UTC]

All what you need is 
LC_ALL=""
LANG="your lang"
Try build this with this flags
