Hi, I have problem with Lithuanian letters in YaST: 1.YaST shows me ? instead of Lithuanian letters during installation process, when I should select which installation I want (selection of "Standard", "Minimal", "Standard with office"). 2. When I start YaST from console, main YaST page is OK. But when I start special module (DSL, Software installation, etc.) from main YaST page then I see ? instead of Lithuanian letters. 3. In Software installation module on the left side (in section with software selection like "Games", "KDE", etc.) I see ? instead of Lithuanian characters too. This problem is not very significant but sometimes it is difficult to read when YaST shows three ? in a word with length of 5 letters :) Some options I have: LANG=lt_LT console font = lt-brim... (I don't remember exactly...) console charset = iso8859-13 Regards, Linas Spraunius

I have problem with Lithuanian letters in YaST:

2. When I start YaST from console, main YaST page is OK. But when I start special module (DSL, Software installation, etc.) from main YaST page then I see ? instead of Lithuanian letters.
3. In Software installation module on the left side (in section with software selection like "Games", "KDE", etc.) I see ? instead of Lithuanian characters too.
I think I found the reason for problem 1. and 3.
It's a bug in the selectio package. The same bug was there for
Swedisch and Slovenian. A patch is attached and I added the maintainer
of the selectio package to the CC.
I.e. this will certainly be fixed for the next version of SuSE Linux.

The YaST2 developers found this problem as well. Should be fixed
in the next version of SuSE Linux.
There is a workaround which you can use now to make it work for you.
Just specify the Lithuanian locale complete with encoding, i.e. use
export lt_LT.ISO-8859-13
yast
Then it works. It doesn't work now if you omit the encoding, i.e.
export lt_LT
yast
doesn't work right now but should work in the next version of SuSE
Linux.
