Screenshot that shows coorupt shares names in diskdrake and normal names in dolphin

This is a fresh screenshot with corrupt non-latin samba shares names done in current Mageia Cauldron installation in virtual machine.

This is why Unicode was promoted...

Why you've changed 'samba' with 'sama' in summary? And what your comment means?

Comment 4 Thierry Vignaud 2014-01-08 14:12:58 CET

Uh? I removed a comma (",") and set it to "Samba".
This is why I see when looking at this page, however I see "sama" in history.
I don't understand????

As for UTF-8, this mean we should try to use UTF-8 everywhere instead of legacy encoding.
However there're still environments not using Unicode, like the one where is your computer

Comment 5 Oleg Bosis 2014-01-08 16:31:12 CET

No, I do use UTF-8, and I do use it for many years:

$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_TIME=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_NAME=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_RU.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

So it seems like diskdrake does not understand Unicode names...

Is this bug still valid in Mageia 5 or cauldron?

Comment 8 Oleg Bosis 2016-10-17 19:59:14 CEST

I don't know about cauldron but it is still valid for Mageia 5.

Additional info: if I add some new folder with Russian words in its name to share then Russian folder name is displayed correctly. But only until I close drakdisk and reopen it. Then all previously created shares with Russian names (including the new one) are corrupted. It seems like drakdisk uses wrong encoding when reading smb.conf (should be UTF-8)...

BTW 'comment' should *not* be mandatory field when creating new samba share...
