problem that when i log in to my debian box as user everything works
great especialy the special character of Slovak language also MC looks
fine etc... but when i su to root the special characters do not work
anymore... when i turn on MC its has some wird characters insted of
lines on borders etc... i look in /etc/profile but nothing there to
explain it also in .bashrc and .bash_profile to find out why in user it
works fine and at root it doesnt diplay correctly.
Any idea where else could be som config file which determine what
localles are used for user ?
As the working user and as root run env and compare so you know exactly
what differences you're looking for.
Then check both the user's and root's .bash*, but also check the
/etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/provfile in case there's any logic in those
that looks at the user (as it does to set the prompt). The system's
default locale is set under /etc/default.
