Ubuntu :: Through Chinese Input Primer For Karmic?
Jan 27, 2010
I'm looking for a current primer on the options for Chinese input available for Karmic (9.10). I'm new to Linux, but have been using Chinese input method editors for Windows and Mac for some time. I found some info in these forums, but most of it is several years old.
Some specific questions:
1) I have enabled Chinese input through system>administration>language support, but it seems there is no option for traditional Chinese input via Pinyin, only through some of the other methods, like ¡.
2) I take is IBus is a general name for Asian language input in Linux, but I don't quite understand if it's the only option out there. Also, did it replace SCIM?
3) This being open source, I'm guessing there are tons of input method editors out there to try. Is there some sort of repository I can search.

We would like to type simplified Chinese characters on FC11. gcim is installed, and it is selected as input method. We see that with ctrl-space input method changes, and we can select types with ctrl-shift. However, we cannot find a "normal" simplified Chinese,. If we type "WO" it pops up with 7 possibilities, witch is not enough as it suppose to drop over 50 .

My installation of slakware linux 12.0 seemed Ok, I can see the beautiful KDE Window and I can also read Chinese homepages by Foxfire browser. But I don't know how I can input Chinese characters. I in fact installed everything from the DVD-package. It appeared that SCIM was installed, and I don't know if I have CLE.

when i updated to 9.10, flash stopped working properly. essentially, it wouldn't accept any clicks. i could press spacebar to pause videos videos, but anything involving the mouse wouldn't work. "on hover" functions seem to work (the play/pause button glows when i hover the cursor over it), but the "on release" functions do nothing.
i tried using the fix from this website--
[url]
but it didn't do anything at all. then i tried this script--
[url]
but now firefox crashes with a segfault every time flash is used.
is there a way i can downgrade back to 9.04 as easily as i upgraded to 9.10?

I recently got a real fancy unidirectional microphone, but when I go and use it, something strange happens. The mic is a mono mic, but when I record something, it appears to think it's stereo. Instead of having the same thing on both channels, it puts it all in the left channel, and silence on the right channel.
I tried fiddling with alsamixer. In capture (F4), adjusting the "Capture" device has an effect. However, it doesn't do anything useful. Lowering the right channel to zero does nothing, lowering the left channel to zero creates silence, and disabling the right channel creates silence.
In my System>Preferences>Sound (or pavucontrol, or what-have-you), there are "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Duplex" options there, but no "Analog Mono Input" or "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input" options (the latter being ideal).
Something interesting, though, if I do this:
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 1 -vv -V mono /dev/null
it works correctly and outputs on both channels. But if I do
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 2 -vv -V stereo /dev/null
then it's back to the same behavior. The VU meter on the second command shows the left channel going up and down as I make noise, but the right one always at zero.
The machine does have a crap internal mic built in to the screen bezel. If I do either of the above commands, they both work correctly. The stereo VU shows the same activity for both channels.
The machine is a Eee 1015PED, which has Intel integrated sound. Something probably insignificant is that the mic has a 1/4 inch mono plug, and to get it to plug into the Eee, I needed to get a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter. The mic's 1/4 plug is mono (duh) and therefore two-conductor, but the adapter I got is stereo, or three conductor (L, R, GND). I don't know if this is tripping something in hardware to tell it it's stereo or something.
I tried the mic on my desktop, which has a SB Audigy 4 (the non-pro flavor) and that has the "Analog Mono Input" function, so that works fine. Is there some way to turn this stereo input into mono input?

I installed Lucid. I used to have Ubuntu 9.10 and to connect my iPod to my laptop's speakers. There was an option in 9.10 in the Sound Options to change the Mic Input into a Line Input. But now unfortunately I can't find it in Lucid have only 2 audio ports in the laptop: Headphone port, Mic port.

I would like to use Japanese kana (hiragana, katakana, kanji) on Ubuntu but everything that I've tried to get it set up and running isn't working. The Spanish that I have set up is working perfectly so far.
I've read, the SCIM input program should start up automatically when loading a program, it doesn't. When I have it loaded I cannot seem to get the input working.

I can't get Thai language input to work.
In "language support" I installed Thai, but it remains grayed out.
In "ibus preferences / input method", no languages are shown.
I added:

Well, I was randomly taking a look at my vsftpd log today, and came across something unusual to myself. About a week ago a computer tried to connect to my computer repeatedly with bogus default usernames. There were many attempted connections with usernames such as 'user', 'root', 'linux', and 'login'. Probably about 1000 attempts, within about 2 seconds of each other.

Ive had my server up and running for a few weeks now, everything has been good. My one small hitch is that while in the console I need to be able to see Chinese Simplified characters. I dont really need to type them, but I do need to be able to read them. How do I go about adding support for simplified chinese?

I hope this is an appropriate place to post this - if not, so sorry & just let me know where I should start the chat: I run a dual booted (Win Vista & Ubuntu Studio Lucid) Dell Inspiron Laptop (2.2 ghz core2duo, 4 gb ram, 256 mb vc, 500 gb hdd).
At random times when I boot into Ubuntu, (right away after grub) I get a black screen with one line of dark red Chinese charachters at the top of the screen and then it just freezes there. Have any of you ever heard of this, and if so, could you enlighten this nOOb? All I do to fix it is reboot, and often this will fix the issue. Is it possible that my system been compromised through installing stuff from medi/univ/multi?

I heard after I install debian, it could display Chinese information normally without any further work, but I have trouble to see all the Chinese characters.
So I googled and installed Chinese fonts, use dpkg-reconfigure locales to add Chinese support, but none of them work.
Here is my setup
# locale
#locale -a

Is there a way to get Document Viewer to display Chinese characters in a pdf? Adobe Viewer does but I would prefer to avoid proprietary software. I cannot get either Document Viewer or Okular to properly show Chinese characters in pdf documents downloaded from my college class homepage.
I have all the Chinese language support files, bells and whistles (both traditional and simplified) loaded and operational. When I create a Chinese document in OO Writer and save it as a pdf, both DocViewer and Okular display the the Chinese characters properly. I just cannot get either DocViewer or Okular to display Chinese in pdfs that are downloaded from the website of my course's online textbook/workbook.
Running 9.10 full boat version on an EEE 1000HD netbook.

I have a problem with opening files with accents with the kate editor. They are html files written on Windows, and contain the line
HTML Code:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-type" CONTENT="text/html; CHARSET=Windows-1252">
Opening in kate, no matter the encoding, messes up the characters. They turn to (a '?' in a hexagone) or chinese characters!What's the proper procedure to open and save those files properly in kate ?

I use Linux * 2.6.18-164.10.1.el5.028stab067.4ent #1 SMP Fri Jan 15 03:06:15 MSK 2010 i686 build to configure xvfb + cutycapt, I need it to convert html to image. The package that I have already installed:
build-essential
xvfb
xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-scalable xfonts-cyrillic
libgl1-mesa-dri
libqt4-webkit libqt4-dev g++
x11-xkb-utils
xserver-xorg-core
It seems like it works, but there is one problem. It misses chinese symbols when converts html to image. I thought that it is encoding issue and rechecked all my conf related that and set default encoding up to es_US.UTF8.
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I'm testing these on the 2 computer. local and my vds. They both have Ubuntu 10.04. On the local machine all works fine, but on the vds it doesn't take chinese symbols. Where can I find the difference between machines configurations? I suspect it depends with X server configuration.

This is to do with accessing Dos era CD rom under Linux.The characters in directory and file titles appear as "chinese".As I know that I've loaded and installed programs from these CD roms onto a Windows 2000 machine, I'm wondering why I can not read the file names now. They are definitely in English.I've research and found the mount -o "characterset" but I shouldn't need to do that as they are not foreign language CD roms.The only other thing I can think off is that they are both degraded, but I would not have expected that of commercial CD roms.
