Use Chinese posted on Thursday and December 21,200 6 in Unix/Linux on the Ubuntu Linux Console

The company's Unix server is using GBK encoding environment, and my notebook is installed with Ubuntu 6.06, default only installed UTF-8 character set, so the Chinese characters in the programs I log on to my company at home are always garbled. After a few days of depressing me, I finally got it done today.

1. Modify the Chinese locale Configuration:

Put the configuration file in/var/lib/locales/supported. d/The following is ZH in Chinese and EN in English. You can add or delete entries as needed (I believe Gentoo is familiar with this, huh, huh:

Zh_cn UTF-8
Zh_cn.gbk GBK
Zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8
Zh_cn.gb18030 gb18030
Zh_cn.gb2312 gb2312
Zh_tw big5
Zh_tw.big5 big5
Zh_TW.UTF-8 UTF-8

2. Install and set zhcon:

Sudo apt-Get install zhcon

Modify the configuration file/etc/zhcon. conf, which is worth modifying:

Defaultencode = GBK
# Default encoding, which can also be gb2312 or big5
X_resolution = 1024
# Screen resolution
Y_resolution = 768
Color_cursortype = 0
# Cursor style in the console, 0, block; 1, none; 2, underline; Use 3 to 6 to adjust the size of the cursor Block
Beep = off
# It is better to turn off the warning of BB.

Now, you can use zhcon in the console as if you were using xterm. You can also enter Chinese characters!
