[SOLVED] National characters troubles

Hello, thank you all for ASCII Beta.

I'm reposting https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=8312#p8312 after recommendation.

Unfortunately, after upgrading from Devuan Jessie to ASCII Beta, I can't save adobe flash player archive file into directory which name consists of russian national character:

The file could not be saved because you do not have the proper permissions.  Choose another save directory.

I'm using Firefox ESR, Palemon, LXDE, LXDM (US language selected).
Kernel boot parameter:

locales=ru_RU.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=ru

ls command in LXTerminal, XTerm, rxvt-unicode can't display these national character of that folder name but shows that I should have  proper permission.

Does anyone know please how to fix it ?

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

This is not a problem with fonts, is it? When I upgraded my desk top from Jessie to Ascii, it stopped displaying Chinese characters, although it would still display Hindi, Thai, Arabic and Cyrillic. My laptop on Ascii displays Chinese, but not Hindi and Thai. The problem was a missing font on my desktop. After installing fonts-arphic-ukai the Chinese came back. I still need to check the fonts on my laptop. I have not yet checked which fonts were removed in the upgrade.

Cyrillic is displayed in Pale Moon and if I run Lynx in rxvt-unicode. I have not tried filenames.

I can see Cyrillic in Pale Moon, Firefox, in file names in PCManFM, not in terminals.

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

Is this what you want?
https://transfer.sh/FgcX7/ru.png

dpkg-reconfigure locales

checked ru_RU.UTF-8, selected en_US.UTF-8 as default locale.
Rebooted and added 'locales=ru_RU.UTF-8 keyboard-layouts=ru' to the linux line of the boot command, but this did not work. (It does work in a live iso). Rebooted again and tried another language to confirm. It still didn't work.

What did work:
On login with lxdm, selected Russian in language and keyboard boxes.
I'm using openbox, lxpanel, lxterminal, leafpad and spacefm. I opened a few other programs randomly (I can't read anything here) and I see Russian. Even xarchiver, which for some reason is in English in the apps menu, has Russian in the menu bar.

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

While the actual problem might not be the fonts, I did look at which fonts might be used for different scripts. Using Pale Moon and its Inspector to list the fonts used, I found that the following scripts used the fonts mentioned :-

Arabic     DejaVu Sans
Cyrillic    DejaVu Serif
Chinese (S&T)   Droid Sans Fallback
Hindi       FreeSans
Korean    Un Dotum (fonts-unfonts-core)
Thai        Noto Sans Thai

This was for a page that did not specify which font to use.
I see that following the Jessie-Ascii upgrade the following fonts were removed by apt-get autoremove :-

Removing fonts-droid (1:4.4.4r2-6) ...
Removing fonts-lyx (2.2.2-1) ...
Removing fonts-roboto (2:0~20160106-2) ...
Removing xfonts-mathml (6) ...

Geoff

(edit: added Korean)

Hello,

I wanted something else, but your result could be correlated to my result.

I tried what you've done and it's not working on my Devuan like on your Devuan, almost nothing was in russian language.

Another problem has appeared:

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

The *kit backends are not fully sorted in ascii. This post should point you in the right direction:

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

That list of packages for autoremoval looks like stuff that came in with whatever task-*-desktop package was installed in your system. And I stress the "was" part of that. Past tense. Reinstall the one that's appropriate for your desktop environment. Did you remove something recently?

Now that I think about it, unattended upgrades on a testing system might not be the best choice.

I've removed pulseaudio, mplayer.

Thank you, I will not use unattended upgrades in Beta. (Aim was to use security updates only)

I'm sorry problem persists in ASCII stable:

Re: [SOLVED] National characters troubles

Troubles with saving file and displaying national characters are solved:

  /etc/profile

 : "${LANG:=ru_RU.utf8}"; export LANG

# locale-gen

.bashrc , .profile

export LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8
export LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=ru_RU.UTF-8 

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

(unattended-upgrade says no error, it has nothing to do now)
