Unicode (Greek) file names in external NTFS

Post by eumetaxas »

Hi, i just found LXDE and i love it.
I have an external usb HDD partitioned in NTFS & fat32. It does not show me folders with unicode (greek) names at all in NTFS partition. i can read them in the FAT32 partition or in the local NTFS (Windows) drive. If i logout and log to Gnome session everything is ok.
Thanx for your help!

You rely on the automounts?
Could you post one time the output of "mount" in LXDE and Gnome, after you tried to access the drive?

plugged the drive to give you the "mount" output as requested, it opened the drives and displayed the folder names correctly :?:
I did not recall changing something. But for the first time i had pcman opened and it opened all drives.
Hope this won't go away - if it does i'll post.
Yes i do rely on automount.
Thanx for your answer!

Happened again.
The last ones are the greek ones as you can see from the names. In Gnome everything is ok.
