Slack won't copy Russian files
I've found it completely impossible to copy Russian language files to my removable usb mem sticks? Tried searching for an answer, found nothing. Do I need to install some kind of Russian Language support?
I used Thunar & Dolphin in XFCE, I did try to make sure the files were not read only/system/hidden and I had full permissions, I'm logged in as the Root user. I have not tried console. |
You need to configure russian locale (of your choice UTF-8, KOI8-R or more exotic cp1251, iso-8859-5) in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and/or lang.csh.
For Thunar utf-8 support you need to add "utf8=true" stansa to [vfat], [ntfs-3g] etc. sections of /etc/xfce/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc. More info (ru): http://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?id=19691 |

I guess you mean you cannot read file names written in Cyrillic, otherwise your question makes little sense. As have already been explained, you need a locale that supports Cyrillic, e.g., UTF8 or KOI8-R (with UTF-8 being more generic, AFAICT). In particular, with UTF8 being the default locale, I have no problems when downloading from the Internet and then saving files with names typeset in Russian. It can be handy to use some language-specific options when mounting external drives (say, a USB stick or a Samba share). For example, if you choose KOI8-R for your PC, you may want to try mounting a Samba share with the "iocharset=koi8-r,codepage=866" options. Then you will see Russian names given to files on Windoze from you Linux machine. |

In soviet Russia, the system changes YOUR locale!

Are you using the stock kernel? If you are familiar with kernel
compilation you may look at section "File systems-->Native language support" for available options. If with the stock kernel you may try the following: 1. In terminal as root Code:
modprobe nls_cp1251 3. Copy the files as normal user. Don't be angry :) |
