Hi
I have been using FreeBSD as desktop since 2003, and living in a mixed
(windows-linux) environment I installed FreeBSd along with my usual (Windows 7)
work environment, I have a dualboot configured laptop. I use FreeBSD-10 STABLE.
There is a partition formatted for FAT32 where I store documents which I would
like to view (and edit) both in windows and freebsd.
The problem is that if the path name contains certain Hungarian characters (e.g
o with double accent), then libreoffice in FreeBSD refuses to open them
complaining about illegal characters. The directory was created in windows, the
document also, and I can handle them perfectly from windows (what is more,
libreoffice under a linux can also open those documents). Some accented
characters are shown as a question mark in FreeBSD, and some others are as a
black rectangle; these latter are causing problems. If a file-nam contains such
characters then the file is shown as 0- length in Midnight Commander.
I tried some steps described in the „Localization” part of the FreeBSD
Handbook, but things did not improve.
I installed PC-BSD with Hungarian language support, thinking that it would
handle the localized directory names correctly but no, it gives the same error
message.
This problem is really annoying. How could I solve it?
In my German environment I also use FAT32 formatted drives, mounted like:
/dev/adaXsX /XXX msdosfs rw,large,-Lde_DE.UTF-8 0 0
This should also work for Hungarian?
I second this advice, it should work well for any language (It certainly
is fine for my Norwegian).
To expand on Rainer's suggestion:
The -L parameter in the mount line is from the mount_msdosfs(8) utility.
The man page says:
-L locale
Specify locale name used for file name conversions for DOS and Win'95
names. By default ISO 8859-1 assumed as local character set.
The locale of your environment and mount command must match. In my case
it is:
LC_CTYPE=no_NO.UTF-8
mount_msdosfs -L no_NO.UTF-8 /dev/da3s1 /mnt/tmp
(Regarding whether the default of ISO 8859-1 for mount_msdosfs should be
changed to some UTF-8 locale to better match what people are using in
this age is an entirely different matter. ;-)
Best regards,
Gyrd ^_^
