13.3.1 Display Problem with Agent Server Console Interfaces
If you run the Linux GroupWise agents with an agent console interface in languages other than
English, the logging information might not display correctly. The problem occurs if your language
encoding is set to UTF-8.
To determine your current language encoding, use the following command in a terminal window:
locale
You can change your language encoding in YaST:
1
Start YaST, click
System
, then double-click
Choose Language
.
2
Select the language you are running the agents in, then click
Details
.
3
Deselect
Use UTF-8 Encoding
, then click
OK
.
4
Stop and then restart the agents to put the new setting into effect.
13.3.2 Russian Keyboard
When you use a Russian keyboard, the Linux environment variables that provide language and
locale information are usually set to ru_RU. Typically, this setting implies the Russian character set
ISO-8859-5. However, on some distributions of Linux, the ISO-8859-5 character set must be set
explicitly in order for your Russian keyboard to work with the GroupWise Linux/Mac client. Use
the following command to specify the character set along with the language and locale information:
export LANG=ru_RU.ISO-8859-5
In most cases, setting the LANG environment variable also sets all LC_* environment variables and
resolves all Russian keyboard problems. If you set the LANG environment variable and your
Russian keyboard still does not work, use the following command to view the current settings for
the LANG and LC_* environment variables:
locale
If any of the LC_* environment variables have not inherited the ISO-8859-5 specification, export
them individually.
13.3.3 Mnemonics for Arabic, Hebrew, and Double-Byte Languages
Keyboard mnemonics for menu items work for characters a-z and A-Z, but not for other characters.
13.3.4 Localized Agent User Interface Display
The Linux GroupWise agent user interfaces display correctly if the Linux environment is using the
ISO-8859-1 character set, which is the default for the GroupWise administration languages and
locales.
