E21 / EFL 1.22.0 and Terminology 1.4.0 on VirtualBox 6.0.6 Metztli Reiser4 10GB Slice.
Giving a preliminary spin to Terminology 1.4.0 and its support and/or lack thereof copy/paste Cyrillic, etc. characters.
NOTE: As of Terminology version 1.4.99 (05-04-2019), it fully supports Cyrillic copy/pasting operations.
Install locales (you need root or super user privilege):
Shell
apt-get -t stretch-backports update | |
apt-get -t stretch-backports install locales |
Check which locales you have:
Shell
locale -a |
Install/reconfigure additional locales and/or set default locale:
Shell
dpkg-reconfigure locales |
On a side note most of my virtual machines are built either in Reiser4/Zstd transparent compression and/or regular reiser4 formatted rootfs.
For a long time -- since VirtualBox 5.1.32 built under my hack of Debian Linux kernel 4.20 (GitHub) -- I struggled to understand why I was not able to reiser4 -format a 2TB slice in VirtualBox 6.x.y. any longer. Turns out that Debian packaging maintainers' default configuration setting for subsequent Linux kernels was modified:
from
# CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED is not set
to
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED=y
This setting prevents VirtualBox from fully supporting reiser4 --if at all-- because it corrupts even existing rootfs reiser4 -formatted virtual machines by sporadic, unpredictable hangs of the operating system.
Accordingly, the kernels that I build all have that setting reverted as:
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED=n
as it is a fact that I 'eat my own cooking' and the resulting reiser4 -patched kernels are used in turn to build VirtualBox releases for Metztli IT services.
