Does zbarimg emit UTF-8? According to the German Wikipedia, UTF-8 does not require a Byte Order Mark (BOM) in UTF-8 encoded files. According to Wikipedia, a BOM causes trouble with several text editors. However, if zbarimg writes its output tin the standard output device, why should it add a BOM? Is your bug the same one as #73, the unability to correctly emit some accented characters and Umlaute and German character ß?

Today, in version 0.23, ten years later than the last discussion, the bug is still present as experienced on Xubuntu 20.04.2: The letter "ß" appearing in my name is output as a Chinese character ﾃ歹. zbarimg should output as utf-8 by default - or at least should have an option to do so.

Laurent, Thank you for the explaining link. A live stick with everything on it is still something highly desirable. It is so valuable if it can be run on any computer (with the right CPU architecture and sufficient memory) regardless of the installed operating system. The only necessary condition is to be able to invoke the boot media selection (often F12 or F9 or even some other key on some computers. It won't be applicable on computers which can not be booted from an USB device, e.g. because a...

This topic ist discussed here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/169376/clock-time-is-off-on-dual-boot Linux supposes the RealTimeClock (RTC) to show UTC. If the computer re-synchronizes time with NTP, Linux also adjusts the RTC. Windows however supposes the RTC to show local time. The behaviour can be changed either on the Linux side or on the Windows side. Change on the Linux side is not feasible, since, when you issue the command timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 the RTC may already have be adjusted and...

Hello Laurent, compiling on the persistent stick seems to be not a very good idea. There ist lots of file writing and so on in that. I would prefer to do the compilation of the ./jamulus-OS-v2.02-install.run on a computer booted as normal and transfer the results to the stick after compilation is compleded. Would that be possible? What steps would be necessary to approach it this way? (I tried it the recommended way. Compilation took endless time. According to htop, CPU or memory usage was not an...

Hello Laurent, I appreciate your idea to create a persistent USB stick for Jamulus with minimal size, provided it is possible for the user to add (i.e. sudo apt install ...) other software using the persistent part of that? In the last few days I wasted much time trying to install Chromium on a persistent USB-3 stick: after each attempt, the stick was ruined (i.e. it did not pass file system checks any more. Fortunately I could verify with time sudo badblocks -b 512 -v -w -s -t random -t 0x55 -t...

Laurent, how can you test an image for a Linux stick on Windows? Or do you just want to test the Rufus step making the stick under Windows? Unfortunately, the syslinux.cfg created by Rufus does not have any line splash ... ---persistent. One has to modify these lines to preset the keyboard and language settings. Kind regards Adalbert
