You need to put lang before calling Obsidian
I tried it. With a folder called é inside the vault and the appimage. Still an issue.
Here is the output from the appimage sandbox vault:
The console error says:
GET app://local/home/wmclt/.config/obsidian/Obsidian%20Sandbox/%C3%A9/obsidian.png?1660943063136 net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND
What happens if you set your system language to English and restart your computer?

Same when linking the image (![image location]) in a note and opening preview mode.
A broken image logo is shown:

There is an existing bug which has been closed by the reporter even though this was not fixed: Images doesn't display
This bug is not reproducible on Windows, nor a default Ubuntu 22.04 with the Gnome desktop environment. In the link above, the reporter was also using KDE as desktop environment however.
I have only been having this bug in the past month. I am using the Flatpak distribution of the app.
Try app image. We don’t produce the flatpak.
Which filesystem do you use?
Same issue with the appimage.
I believe the filesystem is part of the OS (Linux), so it should be the same in every distro.
it’s not.
Oh I see: I’m using ext4
What happens if you set your system language to English and restart your computer?
In my case the language of my OS is already set to en_GB.UTF-8.
I switched everything to Default.UTF-8 and the problem is still there.
We can’t reproduce. But we got enough reports to believe that this is real issue. Probably an upstream electron problem with some linux setups.
So I tried reproducing it. Made a bunch of vms.
Tested by creating a folder on the desktop called ‘test vaulté’. Downloading the obsidian logo into it. And then dragging the image from inside obsidian’s left panel, to a new note.
(
means It worked as intended, not reproduced)
Tested using the flatpak version:
Garuda dr460nized 220822 Manjaro kde 21.3.7-220816 linux 515 EndevourOS artemis neo 22.8 Ubuntu 22.04.1 Popos 22.04 Fedora Silverblue 36.1.5Native package repo:
Manjaro Garuda EndevourOSAUR (appimage version):
Manjaro Garuda EndevourOSSO, I EVENTUALLY FOUND THE PROBLEM:
In kde plasma I set my region settings here to be Belgium English. And when I did that on my garuda vm, I managed to reproduce the issue
@zeegroen can you confirm what happens if you set those region settings back to amarican english (all of them)
Can also confirm changing the format settings on Fedora silverblue, Ubuntu and Popos (all running gnome as their desktop environment)
Changing ‘formats’ to Belgium, Germany and many more probably. Seem to cause the issue
Last reply:
On Gnome you only have 1 setting that controls all format related things.
On KDE Plasma you have granual control. And it seems like the ‘Region’ setting is what’s causing the problem there. Even if you set it to ‘default.UTF-8’ it still causes issues. It has to be set to ‘en_US.UTF-8’.
But this seems to be a more general linux/electron issue, not a distro or desktop enviroment specific thing.
AS A TEST. I fully reinstalled manjaro but select Dutch as my language this time.
Interestingly enough. That works fine. (double-checked, it did automatically set the format settings to nl_BE automatically)
Changing it to American English doesn’t break it.
And changing it back to nl_BE again also doesn’t break it.
Thanks for all the testing.
Ok my suspicious was correct. This is an electron problem tied to system locale.
@Thibaultmol I could reproduce it! The interface in KDE to change regional settings has changed however, and when I changed the settings to American English, I saw no changes. I had to modify /etc/locale.conf to manually set everything to en_US.UTF-8 to make it work. Thanks for investigating!
If anyone on flatpak is looking for a quick fix for this: Edit the Exec command in ~/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications/md.obsidian.Obsidian.desktop and add an --env=LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 after the run command.
I opened this bug and @WhiteNoise linked it to this already opened one.
I was a bit surprise that my recent bug could be related to another one opened months ago, because before updating yesterday everything was working fine in my vault which contains a lot of image with non-ascii names. I tried changing my locales and many other things, but the issue was still there… then I decided to uninstall Obsidian from the snapstore and re-install it with the deb package, as it was before. Now the images in my vault show up.
If any one is looking for a quick fix, from my tests: the snap version triggers issue, but not the deb package one.
Cheers mate! It works for me! Thanks for saving my time!
