lsblk looks Chinese

Soapm · 11-26-2014, 07:03 PM

My lsblk has strange characters kind oof like i'm missing a font package. Anyone know what package I need to install to get a correct display?

Debian wheezy... All standard packages from the normal stable repo.

Code:

root@lenny:~# lsblk -o NAME,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,FSTYPE,TYPE,MODEL
NAME      SIZE MOUNTPOINT FSTYPE            TYPE  MODEL
sda      74.5G                              disk  WDC WD800JD-75MS
├─sda1    487M /boot/efi  vfat              part
├─sda2   55.5G /          ext4              part
└─sda3   18.5G [SWAP]     swap              part
sdb     931.5G                              disk  ST31000524AS
└─sdb1  931.5G /torrent   ext4              part

No need to install anything. You have a misfit between your locale settings and your console or terminal settings, probably. Are you on a console or a terminal for X (which one?), did you set it to Unicode mode if applicable and what gives "echo $LANG"?

I'm not clear what the difference is between a console or terminal or X so let me give more detail. I'm remoted into my headless Debian Wheezy video server using Tera Term as my Telnet/SSH2 Client.

Code:

root@lenny:~# echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

According to this page a specific setting of Tera Term is needed to handle UTF8. Follow that, or just set LANG=en_US in Debian.

I couldn't get Tera Term working but I did install putty to see that it's not my server causing the problem. The problem is indeed in Tera Term.

ROFL... the instructions say to "To change this value, you can use [Locale] and/or [CodePage] in "Terminal setup" dialog-box. "

However, the terminal setup box has no Locate or CodePage values. One of those easier said than done instructions ROFL...

Thanks though..
