Software :: How To Change Character Set
Oct 10, 2010
My distribution is CentOS 5.5, I installed Oracle 11g and create an instance setting its character set as AL32UTF8. The problem is the message from oracle cannot be shown correctly,
Like this:
ORA-00942: ?
I guess that maybe the characterset of my CentOS differs from what oracle uses.
So i turned to /etc/sysconfig/i18n and found:
LANG="zh_CN.UTF-8"
So i changed contents of i18n to:
LANG="zh_CN.AL32UTF8"
But still cannot solve the problem. Maybe my linux don't know what AL32UTF8 is?

I am experiencing some difficulties accessing some of my drives which have folders/files whose names include special characters. That problem has appeared just now, in Fedora 11, and just in XFCE4 (it somehow got stuck with the English default). In neither GNOME nor KDE happens.
The problem is not narrowed down to Thunar because even the terminal fails to recognize the special characters in XFCE4.
I guess that is simply solved by editing some configuration file, but I can't seem to find it.
What do I need to do to allow XFCE4 recognize special characters?
EDIT: It's definitely XFCE4, because if I open Thunar or xterm from GNOME, they recognize special-characters-filenames very well.

I have two machines in a local network and want to share files among them. Since I don't want to bother configuring NFS right now I am using ssh and scp to transfer files among them. There is a little problem though: the machines have different *nixes. One machine has Fedora 12 (Spanish) and the other one has PCBSD 7.1.1 (English).The problem is that both machines have different character encoding and while the Fedora machine can perfectly handle names with special characters, the BSD machine can't and in fact upon doing ssh to the Fedora machine filenames (with special characters) appear wrong and prove difficult to work with.

I have a script that looks like:
Code:
cat servers.txt
trivia:P:N
trivia:D:N
tucana:P:Y
[code]....
I want to be able to find the lines that matches my input and change the N to a Y, but only for the lines that matches the name and not any other N's My problem is the line does not always contain a P as it can be a D as well so my matching did not work. If my script issues the name $1=triva the lines will change to:
Code:
trivia:P:Y
trivia:D:Y
I have the following code so far but as you can see it does not change the D's
Code:
sed -i 's/trivia:P:Y/trivia:P:N/g' servers.txt
*** UPDATE ***
should I be using a method as follows? I am still stuck on the changing all instances though.
Code:
$1=server
sed -i 's/$server1:P:Y/$server:P:N/g' server.txt
sed -i 's/$server1:D:Y/$server:D:N/g' server.txt

In Vim, I can change the text up until the next instance of "X" using this command:
Code:
cfX
The problem is that it includes "X". What if I want to change until, but not including, "X"?

I am trying to copy a large number of files from a Linux server to a Windows file share. Unfortunately, all of the files and folders I have to copy have 10 numbers followed by 2 colons "::" in the name (example: 1234567890::WordDoc.doc) which of course is invalid in windows naming conventions. So now I'm trying to come up with a way to change the file and folder names on the fly to replace the colons with a dash "-" or space " ". I'm even willing delete the frist 12 characters in necessary. I have tried cp, mv, tr, and several -bash scripts but get no positive results.

I was messing around with the alternate character panel app and made a custom character set. I then wanted to put it on a new panel and created a new panel. I moved the character set to that panel, and then started to mess around with the panel settings (auto hide, show hide buttons, and expand, to be specific.) So far so good, until I moved the panel from the right side of the screen to the top. I already had a panel here, and it seemed not to like hiding a panel when there was already one on the top.
When the new panel hid itself, all my panels stopped responding (any clicks on them did nothing) and my processor started going at 100%. I tried a reboot and the only thing that changed is that now I can't even see my panels. I'm guessing I need to change the settings back manually through the prompt, but I don't know how to do that. I am using 10.04 and have not upgraded gnome since upgrading to 10.04.

In programming and various terminal programs (Screen, Vim) the [, ], { and } tends to be used a lot. I'm using a Norwegian keyboard where these are placed such that I have to stretch my fingers a bit too long for whats comfortable. To make it easier I though I'd try to make alt+[some key] be one of these characters. Is there a way that I can bind, say alt+� (Norwegian letter) to '{' system wide?Btw, is such thing called binding, mapping or something else? I'm getting a bit confused by the terms...

I am attempting to set a character set of IBM850 on slackware linux for a particular application (epic5). I am using rxvt-unicode and have setup LANG/LC_*=en_US. Now if I set the encoding to IBM850 in kde's konsole program im able to display certain characters correctly. I'd rather not use IBM850 for everything; is there a way to set/alias a command for a per application execution?
I've tried things like:
LC_CTYPE=IBM850 epic5
LC_ALL=IBM850 epic5

I'm looking for a way to force my PS1 variable to a certain number of chars.
It currently looks like:
$PS1="W $"
and I'm trying to keep the same number of characters regardless of the length of current folder name.
For example, both Documents and bin would be displayed as 10 character strings, keeping the left side of my terminal the same width all of the time.

I need a way to count characters without taking into account spaces, on OpenOffice Writer, and a way to do same, plus counting words on OpenOffice Calc. On Calc, it seems impossible to count words, just cels. I need that to help a friend who is a translator and receives per characters like that (without spaces).
She wants to migrate to free software, but she (and I too) couldn't find this tool on OpenOffice. She tells me it's possible to do that on MS Office.

Have Lucid installed on an Acer laptop. With an external keyboard plugged into a USB hub, then into the laptop, I have been losing the first character typed, sometimes. Most of the time it is OK, but it happens many times in an hour. If I am typing right along, no drops. Only the first character I enter is missing. Most of the time it is firefox I am typing into, but not always. My use of this machine is largely online, so probably that is coincidental.
This problem I have never seen before Lucid - I don't remember it in the beta ether, but I didn't run that too much.Versions 9.04 and before were OK (couldn't use 9.10 for other reasons).

when I try to enter an escape sequence in the interactive mode of dash, it keeps on spewing out the <ESC> character as ^[ displayed in plain text instead of catching it as a control character. I vaguely remember encountering this on some UNIX shell but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. So how do I properly enter escape sequences in dash's interactive mode? (it supposedly supports vi line edit mode but I can't access it at all because of the ESC situation)It's not a make-or-break thing.
