Asian filenames showed up as ??????

Hi, I use the rootfs from this http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096. There is a problem when I try to access samba share with asian filenames. They all showed up as ?????. I installed fonts, set locales,... nothing helped. Anyone knows how can I fix this.

It works on my x86 debian wheezy server. The filenames showed up as they should when set render font to utf-8 but this build only show ?????.

@bodhi, is this problem related to your build?

Thank you.

toomyzoom,

Yes, it is my build, and it is a basic rootfs so it might lack certain settings to make that happen. Asian file names have been working for me on all my existing rootfs, though. Did you copy your samba config file from your x86 debian wheezy server over to this rootfs? I will take a look if in fact you've done that and it did not work.

Ha ha, stupid me. I think I'm not clear here. I didn't have the chance to test the samba server yet but I think it will work fine. What explained above is when I tried to mount a samba share elsewhere to the plug, it showed up with question mark filenames (not even gibberish) when I listed the mount even when the remote character set is utf-8 in putty. Turned out, the build didn't set default locale. I set that to something utf-8 and reboot. After that, the listing folder worked as it should with all the filenames showed up correctly.

When I checked my other debian server, it already had "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" in /etc/default/locale which explains why the name showed up correctly on that one.

Cool! glad it works the way you want it.
