Snapshot of the partition window

During installation from liveDVD gnome x64, the character set used in partition screen does not display correctly accentuated french characters
Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2015-03-09 06:23:40 CET 
So MS supports accents in labels...
Is that NTFS or FAT32?

This is MSR, "unknown file system", Microsoft reserved partition, 128 Mo

I have the same issue here with such au "Réservé_au_système" label on /dev/sda1:

Device     Boot     Start       End   Sectors   Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *         2048    718847    716800   350M  7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

Is it an installer bug or a diskdrake bug? I'd say diskdrake, correct me if I was wrong.

Comment 5 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-17 16:43:42 CEST 
Well, they both use the same shared code...

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table#Partition_entries, we can trust partition labels to be always UTF-16.

@Olivier: could you attach get your /root/drakx/report.bug.xz file?
Thanks

Comment 6 Thierry Vignaud 2016-06-17 16:55:09 CEST 
I'm wrong as we don't read partition labels, just the fs labels.
Comment 7 Morgan Leijström 2020-12-02 16:53:27 CET 
Is this bug still valid?
