[opensuse] convmv fails to convert to UTF-8 on 10.1
Hi, after changing our default LANG variable from de_DE@euro to de_DE.UTF-8 on SuSE 10.1, I try to convert filenames with umlauts. E.g. a file listed with de_DE@euro: birzele@aiken:~/tmp> ls -d V* Vorträge Same with LANG=de_DE.UTF-8: birzele@aiken:~/tmp> ls -d V* Vortr?ge The directory was created with LANG set to de_DE@euro. Now I try to convert it with convmv, according to http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Converting_Files_or_File_Names_to_UTF-8_Encoding I get this test result: birzele@aiken:~/tmp> convmv -r -f latin1 -t utf-8 V* Starting a dry run without changes... mv "./Vorträge" "./Vorträge" No changes to your files done. Use --notest to finally rename the files. If I execute the mv, I indeed see this afterwards (with LANG set to de_DE.UTF-8): birzele@aiken:~/tmp> ls -d V* Vorträge What am I doing wrong here? How can I convert the filenames correctly? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.

Additional problem I just detected: With LANG set to de_DE.UTF-8 (also with en_US.UTF-8) I cannot type umlauts in xterms etc.anymore. I specified an addon modmap with e.g. keycode 0x26 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis an use the right control key and the "a" key on an englisch keyboard to type the umlaut "ä". With the UTF-8 settings, this doesn't work anymore, I just don't get any output when hitting the right ctrl and "a". Is there a way to type umlauts into a xterm when using de_DE.UTF-8? cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform. Frank Steiner Web: http://www.bio.ifi.lmu.de/~steiner/ Lehrstuhl f.
