Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs This started to happen somewhere around first RC of 4.4. Many commands display just question marks instead of - apparently - Russian help text. I do not know which particular component is affected not why another commands do display help correctly. Hmm ... actually all commands I tried now exhibit this problem :( Example: {pts/1}% solid-hardware --help ?????????????: solid-hardware [?????????]command [arg(s)] ????????? ??? ????????? ???????? ?? ???????????? ??? ?????? ????????? ?????? ????? ?????????: --help ???????? ??????? ? ?????????? --help-all ???????? ??? ????????? --author ???????? ???????? ?? ?????? -v, --version ???????? ???????? ? ?????? --license ???????? ???????? ? ???????? -- ????? ?????????? ?????????: --commands ?????? ????????? ?????? ?????????: command ??????? (?????? ?????? ????? ???????? ?? --commands) arg(s) ????????? ??????? This is really blocker for me and serious regression in 4.4. {pts/0}% locale LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_TIME=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_NAME=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=ru_RU.UTF-8 LC_ALL=
A local distro problem? See: http://lists.kde.ru/pipermail/kde-russian/2010-February/014655.html Please continue the discussion in kde-russian@lists.kde.ru mailing list.
Still waiting for more info...
I raised bug report for Mandriva but so far got answer that it cannot be reproduced. Still I can reproduce it here even under new clean account. If you explain where to add debug prints, I would try to recompile relevant components to see what's going on.
According to https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57489 this can't be reproduced. So I'm closing the bug as worksforme for the moment. Please reopen the bug if you find some proof that it is a KDE problem.
