Hey, I'm sure this has been answered before, but maybe things have changed since. I just tried monotone in a cmd window on a Windows box with Swedish settings, and got this: ------------------------------------------------------------ C:\keyex>mtn help mtn: allvarligt: fel: misslyckades med att konvertera en strõng frÕn UTF-8 till ASCII: 'C:/Documents and Settings/Administrat÷r/Application Data/monotone/monotonerc' mtn: detta õr nõstan helt sõkert ett programfel i monotone. mtn: var god skicka detta felmeddelande, utskriften av 'mtn --full-version' mtn: och en beskrivning av det du gjorde till address@hidden mtn: discarding debug log, because I have nowhere to write it mtn: (maybe you want --debug or --dump?) ------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I also recently hit this bug, you can workaround it by passing the --confdir option with some directory without the non-ASCII chars. Since this is very unlikely to be fixed in 1.0 as the underlying issues are more deep, can we at least workaround it so that monotone doesn't fail right after installation? Right now I have two ideas how to improve it: 1) Adjust the error message to add information about the --confdir option (also I think guitune doesn't allow custom options, would be nice to add this feature into it regardless this workaround). 2) Use some different default configuration directory that is non-ASCII, like C:\monotone (maybe make it also the default installation for monotone? I know it's dirty). bye, Martin
