Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vdradmin-am
Special characters (such as Umlaut symbols in German) are displayed garbled thoughout vdradmin-am, e.g. in the program schedules accessible through the Channels button at http://localhost:8001, or in the abstracts of recorded shows. For instance, the ü entity ü becomes ü, the ß lowercase double-s ligature ß becomes ß. These texts saved from EPG data are the basis for creating the menu structures when browsing recordings (typically by a user in a living- room environment without a full keyboard to correct them) and/or converting them to DVD, inevitably propagating the corrupted characters. This issue (presumably one of UTF-8 support) should be fixed ASAP. Moreover, vdradmind will currently be disabled following installation, requiring the user to find (without notice) and manually edit /etc/default/vdradmin-am to ENABLED="1". No indication is given as to the URL for the web interface either. ** Affects: vdradmin-am (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Diacritic characters garbled in vdradmin-am (presumably an UTF-8 issue) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245439 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
