Hello, can i change East European characters to be viewed in some setting when using PUTTY and Midnight Commander?
For example: N??u??n?? = Náučné
Is this problem on the side of B3 or my computer?

yeah, but you may have bothered to check if those special characters were working.

And how to check?
Maybe this is the problem:
Code: Select all
root@b3:~# locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
In /etc/default/locale ....there is nothing

It is. Those entries should contain a valid locale, e.g. "en_US.UTF-8". I actually found that when connecting from a Windows machine with Putty, I get the same listing that you posted. However when connecting from my linux desktop the entries do contain the correct values. Very weird.
Try this:
That should be sufficient to fix the on screen characters.

Thanx Gordon this helped, but in locale it stays only for this one and only session. When i logout and login again....the same as before!
Code: Select all
flim@b3:~$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"

I am connecting from W7 laptop, and maybe in this way the problem could be. When i used your export line all worked perfect. By new putty session everything the same as before. When i type locale ... POSIX is again on all positions. So for me is clear now that on B3 side is some problem.

That is correct. To make it stick you should add the export(s) to your profile, which is in .bashrc
Note: as a minimum you'll probably want to set the value for LANG as well. And of course if you want to use a different locale than US English you should set that one instead (e.g. "sk_SK.UTF-8")

Thanx a lot
So to view right diacritics in own language ( SK )...When using W7 and PUTTY. Putty is set to UTF-8 and Consolas/Clear Type.
I had to add in: my_username/.bashrc and .profile
these three lines
Code: Select all
export LC_ALL=sk_SK.UTF-8
export LANG=sk_SK.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=sk_SK.UTF-8
and to make these changes active in the current shell, source the .bashrc:
Now no problem.
