Hello everybody! I have a simple question regarding locale on Fedora core >= 5. I have a EXT2 filesystem with filenames encoded using ISO-8859-1: $ ls -b mnt/ [loic@neumann ~]$ ls -b mnt/ A\304O\326\334\334.txt try_\344\366\374.txt [loic@neumann ~]$ ls mnt/ | iconv -f ISO_8859-1 AÄOÖÜÜ.txt try_äöü.txt How should I set the locale so that the filenames are displayed correctly (i.e. using ISO-8859-1 encoding)? With that appropriate setting, I'd like that the "ls mnt/" command shows: AÄOÖÜÜ.txt try_äöü.txt My current locale are: [loic@neumann ~]$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Thanks for your help, Loïc. -- -- // Sender address goes to /dev/null (!!) // Use my 32/64 bits, ANSI C89, compliant email-address instead: unsigned y[]= {0,34432,26811,16721,41866,63119,61007,48155,26147,10986}; void x(z){putchar(z);}; unsigned t; main(i){if(i<10){t=(y[i]*47560)%65521;x(t>>8);x(t&255);main(++i);}} Psssst!
