Description Jacques Pronchery 2012-08-21 09:51:20 CEST

I am in french locales, when I ask LC_ALL=C xxxx, the reply is in french.
Example :

[jacques@localhost ~]$ LC_ALL=C cheese
Erreur de segmentation
[jacques@localhost ~]$

Comment 1 Jacques Pronchery 2012-08-22 07:09:56 CEST

I founded that LC_ALL=C works for the app but not for the system.
But there is a problem with utf8.
Example :

[jacques@localhost ~]$ geeqie
Impossible d'initialiser le support de LIRC
[jacques@localhost ~]$ 

[jacques@localhost ~]$ LC_ALL=C geeqie
Could not init LIRC support
Unable to convert filename to UTF-8:
/home/jacques/Vidéos
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Unable to convert filename to UTF-8:
/home/jacques/ModÃ¨les
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Unable to convert filename to UTF-8:
/home/jacques/Téléchargements
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Unable to convert filename to locale from UTF-8:
/home/jacques/ModÃ¨les
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Unable to convert filename to locale from UTF-8:
/home/jacques/Téléchargements
Invalid byte sequence in conversion input
Unable to convert filename to locale from UTF-8:
/home/jacques/Vidéos

[jacques@localhost ~]$ 

Is it normal ?

Same with other gtk/gnome apps ? with qt/kde apps ? other ?

Comment 3 Jacques Pronchery 2012-08-25 14:32:42 CEST

I do not found another app.
It seems to be a geeqie problem.

Comment 4 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-25 16:41:37 CEST

seems your are confusing two bugs, so can we stay with the first one ?

Comment 5 Jacques Pronchery 2012-08-25 17:56:52 CEST

I do not know if the first one is a bug, I think that LC_ALL=C is for the app not for system. (segfault is sent by the system).

For the second one it is a special case and a normal user will not found it.
If it is not important you can close this bug.

Comment 6 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-26 18:01:38 CEST

so yes closing..
