Question symbols (????) in filenames on CD

[Андрей Калинин]

In Ubuntu 7.04 non latin (cyrillic) symbols in filenames seems like a "??????" (questions) on CDs, burned in windows programs (like "Nero").
To fix this problem, need:
1) add parameter "iocharset=utf8" in CD-ROM mount options in fstab
2) find in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi string
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">iocharset=</append>
and replace it
<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">iocharset=utf8</append>

P.S. In 7.10 this bug still presents.

Moving milestone forward.

Confirming bug with hungarian (latin2) characters, adding "iocharset=utf8" to fstab solves the problem perfectly.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Changing status to confirmed based on the second reporter.

[Ihar Hrachyshka (ihar-hrachyshka)]

The "utf8" flag also works then. Please make it by default.

I confirm this bug

I've found a probably related bug in 8.04 Hardy Heron. In my case, it's my friend's flashdisk and a Japanese characters. They showed up as "white question marks inside a black diamond" and a note in parentheses that says something about encoding (forget the exact wording).

My friend is a windows user.

I have the same problem on 8.04 with the external FireWire drive and cyrillic filenames.
Unfortunately adding iocharset=utf8 into the policy files does not help. Can it be they get ignored by hald?

[Pelládi Gábor (pelladigabor)]

I tested with Hardy, and question marks no longer appear in filenames on CD. Every line of fstab belonging to CD and floppy drives contains the utf8 flag. So marking this as fix released.
