 |
|
i have something funky going on, as root when i look at a manpage everything looks fine, but if i do it as a user, i get lots of boxes for unprintable characters
| Code: | $ locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE=C
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=
|
and my root's locale:
| Code: | # locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
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= |
if i set my users locale to match root's i still see the boxes. any ideas?
edit:
my regular user account has | Code: | | PAGER=/usr/bin/less |
but root is | Code: | | PAGER=/usr/bin/less -isR |

Maybe take a look at he Gentoo Linux Localization Guide.
It should help you setup your locale the way you want it. |
