I did several recent installations of Postgresql on Debian Wheezy with UTF8 and LATIN9, and my system's encoding was used every time. Installation steps outlined below. Before you install Postgresql, make sure your systems encoding is set to UTF-8, which you can check with : locale -a If it's not, run : dpkg-reconfigure locales and select UTF-8 for your language. Use apt-get to install Postgresql : apt-get install postgresql postgresql-client I'm not sure if Kubuntu adds some overhead to the installation process. You might want to try a regular debian install and add the KDE desktop to it. -- Salutations, Vincent Veyron http://marica.fr/site/demonstration Logiciel de gestion des contentieux juridiques et des sinistres d'assurance -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
