Ubuntu :: Kate Turns Accents Into '?' Or Chinese Ideograms
May 30, 2010
I have a problem with opening files with accents with the kate editor. They are html files written on Windows, and contain the line
HTML Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1252">
Opening in kate, no matter the encoding, messes up the characters. They turn to (a '?' in a hexagone) or chinese characters!What's the proper procedure to open and save those files properly in kate ?

Is there a Kate plugin that enables file comparison in Kate?, something like the plugin available for Notepad++

suspend has always worked fine with 11.04 and now it stopped working a few days ago. How can I figure out what is going on? The display turns off but the computer never turns off and the only way to bring it back is to hold the power button down and then start it back up.

I'm trying to get all french accents to work in gentoo, so far everything works fine when in X/gnome, i type "setxkbmap ca" to load the french canadian keys and i'm able to type etc... however when I switch to TTY console mode (ctrl-alt-F2 for example), i am only able to obtain and none of the others like etc...
I know that in TTY the command loadkeys is responsible for the character set and does not affect gnome in X which leads me to believe I need to fiddle with loadkeys command, however I tried all instances of the french keymaps found in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/ by issuing "loadkeys fr","loadkeys fr-latin1", etc.. I tried them all, one of them was able to give me the accents I'm missing but didnt correspond to the keys on my keyboard (microsoft wired 500 series)..
my locales are set according to the gentoo localisation guide, echo $LANG outputs en_US.UTF-8 because I wish to keep my system prompts in english (I also tried setting to to french without success in the accents)

kernel 2.6.21.5, GNU (slackware).Some OSs offer the facility of "English with accents" for one to type in the keyboard (kb) and have the accentuated chars echoed to the screen, as well in the physical text consoles (ttyN) as in the GUI. My kb is set for US English. How could I do to make it an English with accents kb?

I can use the accents (tilde, acute, ...) normally when I am the root, but when I log into my user account they re not recognized in most applications (opera, emacs, amsn, python idle,...) although they work in other applications (terminal, vim, iceweasel...). I guess that would have a simple solution. Something is right in the root account and wrong in my user account, but I cant figure it out. My layout is USA International (with dead keys).

Since a couple of weeks ago, almost everyday (and some days more than once) my keyboard does strange things. Mainly, the accents (etc) don't work (they come 'a'e'o), and that's important for me.It happens unexpectedly; at least I have not been able to put it in relation with something I did (anyway, it had never happened before).In Personal settings -> Input Devices -> keyboard everything looks normal, nothing changed.I don't know where to begin to find a solution. The only thing I can do now is to reboot.

I've just found out this isn't OpenSuse exclusive, but I noticed it when setting up OpenSuse 11.4 on a laptop.The WPA password in question has an accented vowel (ã) which is making both my Linux laptops (a KDE and a Gnome one) fail to connect. My wife's Win7 laptop has no problem with it. If I change the letter from ã to a, then they connect.Is there a way to configure the Networkmanagers so that they accept these special characters?

we have two work computers, one with windows and one with Ubuntu. We are going to change the windows computer to Ubuntu, and put them on a network. So we copied all of the documents on the windows computer to the Ubuntu computer as a first step. The problem is, with the documents and folders that we copied, if they have spanish accents we can't open them.I tried looking on the forum but I didn't find anything about exactly that problem. One post suggested that the "locale" might be the problem, but our locale seems to be the correct one for our country and language.
The accents show up as white question marks inside a black diamond. If I open a file inside a folder with an accent, or a file with an accent, it tells me that the file doesn't exist.But when I change the name of the containing folder or the file, and replace the question marks with accents, I can open the folders and files.But we have lots and lots of documents, and it would take a really long time to change the name of all of the folders and files. How can I fix all of them at the same time?

In Windows Word there are combination key strokes to get language accents inserted in the text. How do you get the same thing in Office? I am trying to use foreign phrases in an English document.

I am running ubunutu 9.10 and am having problems with the Kate text editor (v3.3.2). I leave my computer on for many weeks at a time as it is part of a network and others use it to run code on. During this time I am using kate as my text editor, and copy and paste from kate to other applciations, such as the terminal.
Infrequently but regularly enough to cause me trouble I can no longer paste text I copy from kate. I can copy and paste within kate, but I cant copy from kate and paste into the terminal or thuderbird, or firefox etc.

I am a CS major and Iv'e been using vim with a custom rc file to do my editing... A professor suggested we can use kate with terminal for better speed so I thought I would give it a try. Unlike vim, geany, eclipse and others kate does not indent java code, for example after "{ <ENTER>" it should indent to the right 1 tab, but it does not, so I have to press <TAB> every time I go to new like, and I have to go back and forth for different statements...
This does not make things faster at all, Is this even possible? Any other editor suggestions that do not use GTK, but kde native Qt with terminal emulator?

I have a permissions question that I'm sure has a simple answer but one I can't find. When saving files through SSH using kate or kwrite, the permissions always reset to 644 when I want them to stay at 666/777. When using notepad (not sure what this is, it's just in my right click contex menu under "open with...") the permissions persisted after I saved. Permissions also persist with kate and kwrite on my local machine.
Is this something I need to configure on the server? Using Opensuse 11.2, kde 4.3, kwrite 4.3.1-5.6.3, kate 4.3.1-3.7

kate is my favorite text editor, and everything was working fine until recently. Whenever launching Kate, whether by opening a text file or by clicking the Kate icon, a dialog box pops up that KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'. In the background, a konsole window flashes briefly before disappearing.The baffling thing is, that if I click the "run Kate" shortcut, instead of the Kate shortcut, then Kate launches normally. I'm running 11.2 with all the updates installed

Is there a way to set up Kate to use a single template to set both the normal and printing fonts without having to go into "settings > configure kate" each time I create a new document?
In /home/tom/.kde4/share/config/kateschemarc the printing and normal are separate categories. Is there a way to change both at the same time?

I wanted to make some modifications to a Kate plugin, so I cloned the git repository, started doing a few changes, and it compiled. The problem is that when I run it, it uses the version of the plugin installed in the system, not the one compiled with Kate.

I'm using version 13.37 for Slackware (not current). I've tried using XFCE and KDE (currently using KDE) and after using it for a while, it will seemingly randomly crash (20 minutes to multiple hours). The only thing that seems to be constant is that I'm always using Kate when it happens.

If you have a script that works sometimes and doesn't work other times in Kate and there just might be error outputs that kate isn't passing around in any obvious manner, how would one know how to find out what's going wrong?I'm talking about the user-made scripts under Tools/External Tools. When you run those scripts and an error happens, I don't see any error output.

I'm trying to teach myself Japanese.So, naturally, I signed up at a Japanese social website for language practice. Now, all I need is to be able to type in Japanese. I followed the instructions at this site, and everything seems to work. Everything, that is, except kate. Every other app works fine (even the terminal). But when I press enter to confirm my choice of hiragana/katakana/kanji in kate, the characters just vanish as though they were never there

I'm using a dark theme (Obsidian Coast) which is making things a pain to read using the default LaTeX syntax highlighting and color schema of Kate. I can edit the schema just fine, but that does not affect the colors of certain highlighting features, such as the color of expressions which fill in the ellipses of "section{...}", which turn out black or "egin{...}" which turn out dark blue.
Is there any way to fine-tune the highlighting features of a particular kind of markup (LaTeX in my case)?

I am attempting to launch kate via kdesu as well as from the command line and it fails both times. I have (after the first failed attempt) coppied my .kde folder to /root and still am not able to launch it (it works fine under my login). The following is what I get after removing my personal .kde folder from root and launching kate: kate(16689): Session bus not found
KCrash: Application 'kate' crashing...
sock_file=/root/.kde/socket-debian/kdeinit4__0
Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory
KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly.

I wanted to fix something in the Kate editor. So instead of downloading it from it's website (Get It! - Kate | Get an Edge in Editing) I wanted to download the "openSUSE Kate" source package. But as you can see, there is no source package available. I tested it with source installation of "zypper" (zypper si zypper) and it worked.Any ideas? Is the kate source code in another package?

I found that Kate comes with a plugin called "Kate Snippets", and it seems very nice.It lets you add commands into the snippet and even define QtScript (similar to JavaScript) functions to do things.But there is no manual or documentation that I can find.aybe someone knows more about this?
