From d037d971b4f4f408c7a6b6c15a0c7e742f61d354 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Weghorn Date: Wed, 5 Feb 2020 09:40:56 +0100 Subject: tdf#130080 soffice.sh: Avoid exporting empty LC_ALL The previous way of doing LO_SAVE_LC_ALL="$LC_ALL" LC_ALL=C export LC_ALL # ... (call some tools,...) LC_ALL="$LO_SAVE_LC_ALL" resulted in the LC_ALL environment variable explicity being set to an empty string in case it was not set at all previously. For some reason, an LC_ALL explicitly set to an empty string (other than an unset LC_ALL) makes the system ICU on various Linux distributions assume an "US-ASCII" encoding, even if the locale is otherwise configured to be a UTF-8 one. Since the corresponding detection from ICU is used in the KF5/Qt stack, that resulted in the Plasma-native file picker assuming an ASCII-encoding, and thus having problems with files containing non-ASCII characters. To avoid this, don't export LC_ALL if unset or set to an empty string. A big thanks to frinring on IRC #kde-devel for the analysis of why the Plasma-native file picker is affected by LC_ALL being set to an empty string! I could also reproduce that the following sample program run with 'LC_ALL=' on KDE Neon Developer edition printed "US-ASCII" when using the system ICU, while it printed "UTF-8" when using a self-built ICU as of current master (commit d6b88d49e3be7096baf3828776c2b482a8ed1780) instead, but did not further investigate why: #include #include int main() { std::cout << ucnv_getDefaultName(); } Change-Id: Idee88f200b6edecdb2633ed6e6fa70b370ffcf0c Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/88003 Reviewed-by: Michael Stahl Tested-by: Jenkins (cherry picked from commit 25649502e08a52087dea5e482d34a1d4150f0930) Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/88035 Reviewed-by: Thorsten Behrens --- desktop/scripts/soffice.sh | 8 ++++++-- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/desktop/scripts/soffice.sh b/desktop/scripts/soffice.sh index 026f7f022c78..415ea047361d 100755 --- a/desktop/scripts/soffice.sh +++ b/desktop/scripts/soffice.sh @@ -169,8 +169,12 @@ AIX) ;; esac -# restore locale setting -LC_ALL="$LO_SAVE_LC_ALL" +# restore locale setting, avoiding to export empty LC_ALL, s. tdf#130080 +if [ -n "$LO_SAVE_LC_ALL" ]; then + LC_ALL="$LO_SAVE_LC_ALL" +else + unset LC_ALL +fi # run soffice.bin directly when you want to get the backtrace if [ -n "$GDBTRACECHECK" ] ; then -- cgit
