Description Kirill Igorevich Cherniy 2009-12-10 20:33:37 UTC
Fix for wrong iocharsets in XFCE4 with fat filesystems

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.take a fat partition with cirillic(for example ) filenames
2.mount in xfce
3.see ??? instead of usual characters




this can be fixed by changing /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc vfat section to following:

[vfat]
uid=<auto>
shortname=winnt
iocharset=<auto>
# FreeBSD specific option
longnames=true

may be treated as a duplicate of bug in exo-0.3.101 but it is not a duplicate, this is another bug in fixed version.

 I should tell you, that the proposed fix works.

upstream reference?

Where's the link to the appropiate bug at http://bugzilla.xfce.org/ ? Otherwise I'm inclined to close this as "User configurable"

maybe it would be better to add this to default installation of xfce and close bug?
I have no time to test if this bug exist on other distros, so i haven't posted it to xfce bugzilla

 File a bug there and see what they tell you, even if you could not have a look at other distributions.  If they close it as INVALID/WONTFIX/GOAWAY with a good reason, you should tell here.

I was hoping that someone took this upstream. But, guess not. In the mean time it looks like EXO_MOUNT_IOCHARSET is an option.

#   iocharset: To the EXO_MOUNT_IOCHARSET or LC_CTYPE environment variable.
