Avoiding character code problems in file names For example if I mount (on one and the same system) a vfat partition with -o iocharset=utf8 create three files named ä,é,â, unmount and mount again with -o iocharset=iso-8859-1 the files will appear ä,é,â. Of course I know that I fix this problem by always mounting with -o iocharset=utf8. But note that I do not search a fix for a particular problem. I merely would like to know which system settings can in general influence this issue so I can avoid problems with file name encodings before I copy and work with gigabytes of data on different systems, especially on vfat partitions. |

Avoiding character code problems in file names Yes. Mount options are those you supply to the mount command, or equivalently in the fstab file. I mentioned it because I know that there are options such as utf8. But I don't know if it is always good to supply it. |

Avoiding character code problems in file names I never had problems copying for example between ext3 and ext3, but frequently with vfat and essentially any non-ASCII character. |

Avoiding character code problems in file names I am aware that there are fundamental differences between the file systems. Not even the specifications for valid file names (length, characters, ...) will be the same in general. The issues I am refering to here are ones which are related to encoding of characters. E.g. german Umlauts (ISO) or UTF8 characters can be lost/changed when copying. Then files become inaccessible and I simply don't want them to change the name as it can contain information (such as the name of mp3 files) even if the files are not executables/libraries. |

Why is Google Chrome displaying artifacts in YouTube? For me the HTML5 test was switched off. When I enable it the color of the noise changes from yellow to orange. |

How do I control the fan when running kernel 3.7? No. According the ppa instructions they would not work together. Also one of the reasons why I use this ppa (working hibernation) seems to be due to the kernel. |

Getting older packages from ppa That's bad news ... The package had a lot of strict dependencies - including the kernel, I think. |

Trouble after Ubuntu 12.10 upgrade Eventually I managed to get network working and to complete the upgrade. Now the new lightdm fails to log me into kde. I wish I could reinstall kdm which simply worked. But unfortunately the dependencies are such that it is impossible install it. |
