Hello and well met! I have recently moved in from (Arch)Linux and found myself ready to fire up my first question:
"How do I mount volumes containing utf-8 encoded filenames via HAL?"
If the volume is mounted by Nautilus, non-ASCII filenames are displayed as question marks when ls is invoked in gnome-terminal. On the other hand when mounting is executed using a utf-8-based locale, e.g.
all filenames are displayed correctly.
Following a GNOME-specific guide, I checked on the mount options in gconf-editor:
Next, I tried messing with ~/.login_conf adding locale-specific environmental variables:
and created the necessary ~/.login_conf.db by invoking
but the locale was already set when choosing it from the login window.
Please note that the MM_CHARSET environmental is not set, contrary to the contents of .login_conf . So, how could I make HAL, nautilus or gnome-mount to respect locale settings and mount filesystems accordingly?
I'm missing something trivial, right?
