Maybe someone will be interested.

After rebuild with the --with-screen = slang option, mc starts to display any national characters correctly (you must also set the --with-slang-includes and --with-slang-libs options in the package.mk).

But, for some reason, in black and white. This is solved by starting mc with the -c key.

In the screenshot, the working mc with the locale setting to ru_RU.UTF-8.

I built MC with slang. All work normally. National symbols show correctly. But no colors in mc - only white and black.

Anyone know why? And how to fix it?

Thank you for your answers!

Hi!

I build the system-tools addon with the command PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/create_addon system-tools and want to change mc build options.

In the file http://LibreELEC.tv/packages/addons/tools/system-tools/package.mk i don't find it.

How i can change the build parameters for mc in the system-tools addon?

I found a part solve of my problem.

The problems are really not in fonts, but in the applications themselves.

In the addon, I changed the encoding functions and part of the data began to be displayed correctly (i'm still working on showing file names correctly).

mc i replaced with mc working with Cyrillic. It did not work correctly, but it became clear to me that mc from LibreELEC needs to be rebuild with the right options. This will be my next question if i don't find enough information.

I verified this addon in the Kodi 18.9 on Ubuntu 18.04 and Android 9.0.

Nowhere I saw a same problem with fonts as the LibreELEC (see screenshots).

I changed skins for Kodi in LibreELEC - the result remained the same.

Apparently, the problem in the LibreELEC.

How can i fix it?

Check how you can see those files in ls command output in ssh client that is running in UTF-8. You have to check what you got on your file system before starting to debug MC or Kodi.

Thanks for reply!

I've made screenshots with output ls in ssh and that show mc on same files. I also looked at these files in the GUI File Manager.

It turns out that only mc and addon are to blame for the wrong output of symbols.

That's right?

Quote from tokul

Your file system is mounted with wrong encoding parameter or filenames are already borked there.

If information is coming from media info, you have messed up media comments/details.

I've install LibreELEC 9.2.6 on to VMWare virtual machine from LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.2.6.ova file. Nothing modified.

After this i've install Locale addon and set UTF8.ru_RU locale. The result can be seen on the screenshots. The third screenshot was made with Arial fonts set in the skin settings.

Perhaps still, not all fonts in the LibreELEC contain symbols to UTF8.ru_RU locale?

Quote from tokul

This problem needs to read Russian characters properly.

Is there any way to fix this?

Quote from Klojum

Try switching Kodi's default GUI font to Arial, it contains more special characters.

No effect.

Maybe someone knows which fonts need to be changed in the source codes before building, so that there are no such problems in both the console and Kodi.

Hi!

I recently added a network driver for Odroid H2+ to LibreELEC 9.2 with your help.

LibreELEC works well. But i see that some characters from the national alphabet are not displayed correctly.

This happens both in the console and in the Kodi itself.

For example, I attached some screenshots.

How can this problem be fixed?

Thanks in advance

Many thanks for your help!

It worked for me.

Run "dmesg | paste" and "ls -l /usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic | paste" after startup and share the URLs generated.

"dmesg | paste" - http://ix.io/3jOt

"ls -l /usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic | paste" - return me "ls: /usr/lib/firmware/rtl_nic: No such file or directory", and i completed other command:

"ls -l /usr/lib/kernel-overlays/base/lib/firmware/ | grep 8125 | paste" - http://ix.io/3jOe

Also commit your local changes and push them to your GitHub repo so we can see the package you added and what they do.

My repo - GitHub - MsVAsB/libreelec-9.2-rtl8125: Copy LibreElec 9.2 repository with network driver (rtl8125b) for Odroid H2+

EDIT: just an FYI you will have to add that here LibreELEC.tv/any.dat at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub and make sure the kernel-firmware package is built and included in the image

I've installed firmware (getted it from debian package firmware-realtek). Putted firmware to http://LibreELEC.tv/packages/linux-firmware/rtl8125b-firmware. Maked package.mk and added firmware name to file http://LibreELEC.tv/projects/Generic/options (FIRMWARE="misc-firmware wlan-firmware dvb-firmware iwlwifi-firmware rtl8125b-firmware").

But after building driver still not work...

Insmod on the LibreElec return error: "insmod: ERROR: could not insert module r8125.ko: Invalid module format".

Ok. I try this. Thank you.

I also connected to installed LibreElec via ssh and runned command “insmod r8125” in driver directory.

System return error: “Invalid module format”.

Perhaps this is the reason?

You probably also need the RTL8125B

But on the ubuntu server i don’t added RTL8125B firmware and network worked with this driver.

Hi!

I try add Realtec 8125B driver (network on Odroid H2+) to LibreElec 9.2, but it not work...

The driver RTL8125 i downloaded from realtek-r8125-dkms (it perfectly work on the pure Ubuntu server 18.04).

I did the following:

1. Installed as guest on the VmWare Ubuntu 18.04 server and installed build dependencies (as wrote in Building (Basics)).

2. "git clone GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI" and "cd LibreELEC.tv/"

3. "git checkout libreelec-9.2" and created new branch "git checkout -b libreelec-9.2-rtl8125"

4. In the http://LibreELEC.tv/packages/linux-drivers added directory RTL8125B.

5. In the RTL8125B i created package.mk file with text:

6. In the file http://LibreELEC.tv/distributions/LibreELEC/options i modified string: "ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS="RTL8192CU RTL8192DU RTL8192EU RTL8188EU RTL8812AU RTL8125B""

After this steps i committed all changes to my branch, downloaded sources - "PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 tools/download-tool" and builded image - "PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 make image".

Image has been created, but, after install it to Odroid H2+, driver not worked.

I tried change commands for make in section "make_target()" of file package.mk (see comments), but driver still not work.

I know that this network adapter work in last version LibreElec, but i need LibreElec with Kodi 18.9.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance
