Re: National alphabet not works in bash

[znavko]

I tried Lxterminal, Russian character was displaying there.

I found in xfce4-terminal Preferences: Advances - Encoding  and changed it on UTF-8. Closed and run xfce4-terminal again and everything is ok.

I think it should be default, but not Ansi-x3.4-1968

Hello! After reconfigure without any changes or maybe after update bash does not work with Russian characters.

I am typing in Russian:

# ?????????????????

-bash: ?????????????????: command not found

# ??????

-bash: ??????: command not found

$ locale -a

bash: locale: command not found

Terminal: xfce4-terminal

Preferences: Encoding: Default ANSI_X3.4-1968

I did not changed anything.

Tried to solve the problem with Guix Manual, section '6.2.6 Locales', but I discovered I have Russian locales already:

# ls /run/current-system/locale/2.28/

ca_ES.utf8/  en_CA.utf8/   es_ES.utf8/  fr_FR.utf8/  nl_NL.utf8/  tr_TR.utf8/

cs_CZ.utf8/  en_GB.utf8/   es_MX.utf8/  ga_IE.utf8/  pl_PL.utf8/  uk_UA.utf8/

da_DK.utf8/  en_US.utf8/   fi_FI.utf8/  it_IT.utf8/  pt_PT.utf8/  vi_VN.utf8/

de_DE.utf8/  en_US.UTF-8/  fr_BE.utf8/  ja_JP.utf8/  ro_RO.utf8/  zh_CN.utf8/

el_GR.utf8/  es_AR.utf8/   fr_CA.utf8/  ko_KR.utf8/  ru_RU.utf8/

en_AU.utf8/  es_CL.utf8/   fr_CH.utf8/  nb_NO.utf8/  sv_SE.utf8/

Nevertheless I tried to add the line 'locale-definition' to config.scm, but got the error:

# head -n 25 /etc/config.scm

How to retrieve Russian characters in terminal?
