I'm not sure gnome-terminal is a good suggestion.

Did you check https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Terminal/FAQ#Exit_status_8 ? "Reason: The environment that gnome-terminal-server is started with does not correctly set the locale to a UTF-8 locale. Consult your distribution's documentation on how to fix this. Note that is it *not* relevant to check the locale settings from a different terminal (e.g. xterm); what counts is the environment that the session dbus-demon passes to the processes it starts." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
