First excuse me for my english because I'm French . I've SEARCHED A LOT before posting this thread but none of the solutions I've seen have worked for me...
I'm using Puppy 5.6 and I want to backup data from a nearly-broken hard drive. I've put it in an external USB box and I've mounted it with Puppy.
I can see all the files and folders I want to backup BUT all the folders/files with accents are red-colored and it says "Filename is not valid UTF-8. You should rename it." when the mouse goes over.
I've a read-only access to the disk (too much "broken") so I can't rename anything (and anyways there are too many files with accents).
I CAN copy folders with accents but only one-by-one. If I try to copy a folder (with no accent) that contains one or more folders with accents, then I'll have this message : "ERROR : invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" during the copy.
I've activated UTF-8 at loading (now the accents appear but the problem is still here).
I'd like to do exactly this : http://blog.bullrox.net/ntfs-3g-invalid ... acter.html
but for Puppy
I've tried this too but there is no file named "locale.gen" in /etc/ and the command locale-gen is not a valid command in puppy... :
Code: Select all
For oui, How to make ArchPup speak french Laughing
Download locale.alias.gz, remove false gz extension and copy this file to /usr/share/locale
then open /etc/locale.gen, uncomment
fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_FR ISO-8859-1
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
then in terminal run locale-gen.
Open /etc/profile and add this
Code:
export LANG="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
export LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
