Comment on deb Linux: How to add support for Bulgarian, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bosnian language cyrillic localization to Xfce, GNOME, KDE Desktop by admin.

Hi Martin,

What kind of encoding are the files? If they’re some old texts probably they’re in cyrillic encoding cp-1251, if so you can convert the files to UTF-8 with convert.

How to convert file content encoded in windows-cp1251 charset to UTF-8 (with iconv) to be delivered properly encoded to browsing end clients

Think this should solve it. (If you want we can write in cyrillic as we’re both Bulgarian 🙂 )

Regards,
Georgi

Hi Sasha,

What Linux distro / version are you using?
What is the output of:

cat /etc/default/locale

here is mine
#  File generated by update-locale
LANG=bg_BG.UTF-8


If your locale change doesn’t make difference, it is possible that the file names are written in some weird encoding and thus in general in X they’re not visible in proper cyrillic but “monkey” characters.
I had problems with cyrillic file names written in char encoding CP-1251 while GNOME is set to recognize UTF.8. If that is the case for you will have to convert cyrillic file names to other encoding – see my previous article on the topic – https://www.pc-freak.net/blog/convert-recursively-filesh-content-windowscp1251-unicode-utf8/

If this doesn’t help too. As a final aim you can try upgrading to newer distribution or GNOME release. Compiling gnome-search-tool from source while configuring it to support encodings you like on passing it as option to ./configure script.

Hope that helps.

Best!

Georgi

Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards
Georgi

       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.

As rkhunter check, can be pretty annoying and ask you to press keypresses multiple times and spit you a lot of unnecessery data a very good useful option arguments are:

–rwo and –sk

# rkhunter -c –rwo –sk
Warning: The SSH and rkhunter configuration options should be the same:
         SSH configuration option 'PermitRootLogin': yes
         Rkhunter configuration option 'ALLOW_SSH_ROOT_USER': no
