Bug ID: 362865
Summary: Plasma forces my character encoding to US-ASCII
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: guido-kdeb...@unknownsite.de
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
After doing any changes to the the regional settings to set a system language,
plasma will set a locale that explicitly ends with .US-ASCII, even though my
system locale is UTF-8, and even though I don't even have any US-ASCII locales
installed. I cannot find a way to set the encoding back to UTF-8.
This is at the very least a usability issue.
I have tried setting LANG=de_DE.utf8 (which is the locale I actually want) in
.bashrc. This causes shells started from KDE to run with that locale, but the
rest of KDE still runs on US-ASCII. This is particularly noticable in the file
manager, which now cannot properly display a lot of the filenames in my home
directory.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set language under "Regional Settings" in System Settings application
2. Restart Plasma
Actual Results:
Plasma runs with a locale set to <that language>.US_ASCII, for example
de_DE.US-ASCII or en_US.US-ASCII, depending on what language I picked.
Expected Results:
Plasma should if at all possible run with the UTF-8 version of the selected
locale.
