How can I fixed?

What is the repo path and does it contain anything that's not ascii?

What does sys.getfilesystemencoding() return if you run it manually in the python interpreter?:

Looks like your locale is not set correctly.

The filepaths (e.g. /home/anusuk/พื้นโต๊ะ) contain non-ascii characters, but your locale is probably set to ascii.

You could try:

$ LANG=th_TH.UTF-8-8 hg-fast-export.sh -r <local-repo>

But I would think this is a misconfiguration of the system. The locale is set to imply all filepaths are ascii-only, when there are actually utf8 filepaths so this should probably be fixed for the system as a whole.

If the repository itself is indeed ascii-only, then you could try just renaming the พื้นโต๊ะ directory into ascii temporarily (e.g Desktop) whilst running the conversion.

OMG!, it works!!!

I have been changed from พื้นโต๊ะ to Desktop, done!!!

Big thanks!
