#3874: Encode error in g.extension, add-ons not written in GUI
------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: veroandreo | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.0
Component: Addons | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: | CPU: x86-64
Platform: Linux |
------------------------+-------------------------
I just compiled grass77 in a colleague's Linux Mint 19.1 Cinamon laptop
following the instructions here:
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install#Linux_Mint
All is fine, but when we install **any** add-on, we get:

The add-on is indeed installed, but it is not added to the list of
extensions in the GUI. I cannot reproduce any of this in my Fedora box
with freshly re-compiled grass77 with locale in English.
Locale is in Spanish for Argentina, but there's no special characters in
her user:
{{{

ps: she is also getting an encode/decode error when trying to display a
raster from GUI:
{{{
'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 17: ordinal not in
range(128)
}}}
however, she accepts the error and the raster is displayed anyway...
