 Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 7:23 am Post subject: Opera/Konqueror have no accents [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hello,
I followed the advice in Greek Accented Vowels Howto sticky thread and now I can perfectly well Alt-Shift and write in Greek. I can also write accented Greek in aMule, for instance.
What I can't do is write accented Greek in Opera, or Konqueror. Greek is ok, but when I press the accent key <;> and a letter it doesn't come up. Pressing it again gives me the apostrophe. Clearly I need to do something more but what? BTW, I'm not interested in console Greek for the moment, just X.
Here's the output of locale
| Code: | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=el_GR
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=el_GR
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL= |
Here's the output of locale -a
| Code: | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_COLLATE to default locale: No such file or directory
C
POSIX
de_DE
de_DE@euro
en_HK
en_PH
en_US
en_US.utf8
es_MX
fa_IR
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
it_IT
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.utf8 |
Here's the last 2 lines of my /etc/profile
| Code: | export LC_CTYPE="el_GR"
export LC_COLLATE="el_GR" |
Clearly something is wrong. Can you please help?
Ευχαριστώ πολύ,

Ta locale mpainoun otan ginetai emerge h glibc. Mhpws exeis kanei tpt sta locale esy? Epishs den mas eipes pou exeis balei ta export LC_CTYPE kai LC_COLLATE (se poio arxeio ennow).
The message in English:
There seems to be a problem with your locales. The output of locale -a that you gave us has no reference of el_GR anywhere. When I try it here I get:
| Code: | $ locale -a |grep el_GR
el_GR
el_GR.utf8
|
Have you done anything with the locales? locales are installed during the installation of glibc. Also you haven't told us where exactly you have done the exports of LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE (which files I mean). |

Thx for the reply parapente (I'll stick to En for the moment, if it's ok). I haven't done anything with the locales, perhaps I need to install more? How is this done?
Regarding the LC_CTYPE and LC_COLLATE, I added them in /etc/profile.

Your glibc does not support Greek locales.
Rebuild your glibc adding the el_GR.UTF-8 locale.
EDIT
Modify the /etc/locales.build file and include the following lines:
| Code: |
el_GR/ISO-8859-7
el_GR.UTF-8/UTF-8
|
Rebuild at least glibc (I dont know if you have to rebuild more packages)
Now the Greek locales have to be available.
