Re: [Cooker] Updated 18mdk update kernel...

2003-06-12 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson
On the topic of the update kernel and the kernel that Danny maintains, 
also applies to the modified update kernel from Thomas.

Would you guys consider giving your kernels different names, just so 
that we don't have to ask confused users Which version of 2.4.21.0.18 
are you using? The security update one, Thomas' one or Danny's?

Thomas, at some point you used TmB for your kernel, was there something 
you didn't like about that? Danny, could you do something similar?

Btw. I love your kernel versions, I think you are both doing an 
incredible job with the kernel. Thank you both.
I just don't want other users to get confused.

Best,

When the discussion of mjpegtools started, some people wanted local
recompilations but these numbers to not support that idea. They do, however,
strongly support the idea of building and distributing mjpegtools with and

benefit, the latter in order to follow the Mandrake architecture policy]

If you can help Austin in any way to set that up, we would all be very grateful.

[Cooker] openoffice, Japanese and kinput2

2003-01-25 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson
i,
I've been trying to find something on the lock-ups that occur in openoffice.org
in a Japanese environment when using kinput2. This happens on a current cooker
[as well as on 9.0, actually].
The problems occurs as follows: Start openoffice.org and select a font capable
of displaying Japanese. Hit shift-space in order to activate the input method
editor and type something in, say, hiragana without the quotes.
Then hit ctrl-w twice to bring up the candidate selection window, press the
right arrow key once to choose a candidate and hit enter twice to confirm that
candidate. That should be enough to cause problems with OOo, namely possible
lockups, some keys don't seem not to work, others don't work as expected, etc.

Anyway, what I seem to have found as a solution is to append the following to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Kinput2

*SeparateConversion.input: false
*selectionShell.input: false
*auxShell.input: false

Japanese speakers can find this in:
http://openoffice-docj.sourceforge.jp/document/faq/us_linux.html
and suse seems to have been aware of this for quite a while:
http://lists.suse.com/archive/m17n/2002-May/0055.html

Now, my question to Pablo and those that use kinput2 regularly is whether this
is an acceptable solution. It means that the kinput2 candidate selection window
never receives the keyboard focus, so that the arrow keys don't work anymore
when selecting candidates. Instead, one has to use ctrl-w to cycle forward or to
use the mouse.

Unless anyone objects vociferously, I recommend adding this to the
app-defaults/Kinput2 file in order to make ooffice usable again with kinput2.

Once we know that, we can hopefuly change them back into the way everybody 
else has them.
After that has been done, we can debate the #ifdef __KERNEL__ issue because 
that would again be doing something that isn't done in stock 2.4.19 and 
I'm sure the developers will hesitate making such a change.

Can somebody find the patch to these 2 files in mandrake's cvs? I would

[Cooker] linux/videodev.h in 9.0

2002-10-11 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Hi,
does anybody on this list why /usr/include/linux/videodev.h was changed in 
9.0?
I've looked in the changelog and couldn't find anything. Neither stock 
2.4.18 nor the stock 2.4.19 version of linux/videodev.h include 
linux/fs.h, whereas  Mandrake's version of linux/videodev.h does.

Why is this bad? Well, mjpegtools won't compile without some hacking, 
that's one thing. I'm just wondering why this was done and whether it's 
going to stay this way in 9.1.

I couldn't find anything in the changelog for kernel-headers.

[Cooker] harddrake2 bug(?), controller card listed as raid?!?

2002-10-02 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

I just installed an old SIIG controller card in an empty PCI slot on my 
machine. Its an ATA controller card, has 2 connectors.
After I had booted from the rescue CD and updated my /etc/fstab and 
/etc/lilo.conf and rebooted, I ran harddrake2.
When I clicked on the Configure button for the new item in the list of 
detected hardware, I got the following message on the console:

and that was the only response I received.

Additionally, the new controller card seems to be detected as a raid card:

 Try to use hdparm and define a /etc/sysconfig/hardiskhdX (where X is the

 DMA=0.

 Reboot and see if it copes your problem.

This was sound advice but did not work. 
I've tried to connect the cdrw to the motherboard or to a controller card 
and tried to access it without dma, alas no success.
Any access to the device with hdparm resulted in a lockup when the drive 
was on the motherboard.
When I connected it to a controller card, I could remove the dma assignment 
[I used hdparm -d0 /dev/hda; hdparm -k1 /dev/hda;], but I still had 
lockups on subsequent reboots. Yes, on a later reboot, I verified that the

[Cooker] installer got stuck in a loop

2002-09-18 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

RC3: Just before installing the bootloader, the installer got stuck in a 
loop, it kept asking for installation cd 1, I put it in, it ejected it and 
asked for it again. We argued like this for a while, I tried to put all 3 
of the CDs in several times and I ended up having to hit cancel.

Things went downhill from there, and I ended up having to reboot. 
The short story is that I received messages about: 
1) mkinitrd failed
2) isa ??? failed in drakx
3) no loopback found or something similar to that. That's when I had no 
option but to reboot.

I copied the logs from /root/drakx/, they are accessible at:

 and will stay there until 9.0 is released

Something similar happened to me in one setup of RC2, but I tried to

 Indeed.. Because it is using supermount.. No problem here..

  ii. the 'Unmount Volume' command has no effect.

 In supermount mode, Unmount Volume doesn't do anything since you are
 not root.. I'll try to hide it (no garantee)

  This looks OK, but doesn't explain the unmounting not happening: I
  have to issue umount -a /dev/sda1 from the command line to actually do
  it.

 There is no unmounting because usb-storage doesn't remove the /dev/sda1
 entry when clié is no longer connected.. Therefore, there is no way to
 know the device is here or not :((

Can this be changed in the usb-storage module or is nobody willing to touch 
the kernel modules issues at this point, or is it simply too difficult?

[Cooker] Fwd: Free Japanese Fonts

2002-09-06 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Utuhiro was having some trouble with the mailing list so he sent me this 
message. Maybe I'll have more luck sending this to the list than he did.

I showed these fonts to my wife and asked her to rate them, she put kochi 
gothic and kochi mincho at the top since the other fonts were cartoonish. 
Of course they are still perfectly usable.
Is this the same kochi gothic as you are packaging? Is the kochi mincho 
included?

Thanks Utuhiro,

Narfi.

 If you know other *free* and freely redistributable Japanese fonts in

   All fonts are TrueType.

  These fonts are free, but you need to mail to authors if you

[Cooker] rpmdrake-sources

When I try to start rpmdrake-sources as a non-privileged user, it first 
asks me for the root password and then it exits.

Of course, I expected the program window to appear after I had typed in the

rpmdrake works fine in this regard, but I did not try rpmdrake-remove.

This is using rpmdrake-2.0-20mdk

 Hmm, if you don't see that font in the font pull-down box, then it's
 probably because OOo doesn't support it at all? What sort of font is it?
 TrueType? Type1?

Beats me. However, this is the font that OO suggests:
1) Clean ~/.openoffice
2) Start OO, go to Tools-Options-Language Settings-Languages and enable 
Asian languages, set Japanese to be the default. Close the dialog.
2) Go to Tools-Options-Text Document-Basic Fonts (Asian)
and you'll see that OO has suggested to use HG Mincho Light J.

[Cooker] Re: OpenOffice-ja shows wrong characters

2002-09-05 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

I am guessing this is similar to what utuhiro wrote in:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker@linux-mandrake.com/msg73401.html

When I did a fresh install of RC1 + updates, OO seemed to work very well 
under the Japanese locale. However, after I added more fonts to the 
system, OO comes up completely garbled in the Japanese locale.

I'd venture to guess that it chose to use some font which doesn't support 
Japanese so all non-English text is unreadable.

Perhaps somebody can at least tell me how to change the font OO uses for 
its menus and dialogs so that I can change it back into something 
readable. A proper fix would of course be the best.

ps. If this will be fixed in OOo-8mdk, then my hat's off to you!




[Cooker] localedrake

2002-09-04 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Using drakxtools-1.1.9-34mdk.i586.rpm

3 things:
1) localedrake asks the user for his/her password in order to log out. When 
running localedrake from the shell, this is not a problem since the 
password prompt appears in the shell. However, this also means that when 
the user changes the language settings in the KDE control center and 
localedrake pops up, the user can't enter the password.
Why on earth is the password needed anyway?

2) Why is localedrake in /usr/sbin? This seems like a per-user utility and 
not to be restricted to the sys-admin.

3) Things are getting more and more complicated for multilingual users. In 
order to be able to type in Japanese text but keep the UI in English, I 
have to:

a) Go to the KDE control center [Contry  language], change the country to 
Japan and keep it open.
b) Then localedrake pops up, I select Japanese, click ok. Then localedrake 
asks me if I want to log out, I click cancel.
c) Change the country to C in the control center.
d) Then localedrake pops up again, click cancel.
e) Click OK in the control center 
f) Then localedrake pops up yet again, click cancel.
g) Edit ~/.i18n and change LC_MESSAGES from ja to C.

Even if you don't write a single new line of code for multilingual users, 
please don't write the code for single language users in such a way that 
it makes life difficult for the others.

 Mandrake's kinput2 is not easy to use.

 Most distributions:

 XIM OFF: shift+space
 How to input Japanese n: type nn

1) I beg to differ on the shift+space vs. ctrl+\ issue:
Both my wife and I hit shift+space by accident all the time -- when typing 
in simple commands like grep '^ $' foo_* and thereby we accidentally 
switch to Japanese input mode when we intend to write in English.
Having it both start and stop the kinput2 would make matters even worse 
since that would cause us trouble also when we're writing in Japanese!

I am fully aware of the fact that it's customary to have shift+space toggle 
between Japanese input mode and ascii input mode and have ctrl+\ turn off 
the Japanese input mode, but I fully support the Mandrake keystrokes in 
this regard.

Actually, we would like the most to abolish the shift+space keystroke for 
kinput2, but that would be to stray too far from the conventions, I guess. 

2) I fully agree with you on the n versus nn issue, but I have no idea 
where to change that.

3) wnn vs. canna: I have no idea, never tried canna.

[Cooker] drakfont/ttf fonts not available in KDE.

I installed 8.2 beta4, with English as a primary language and Japanese, 
Icelandic and German as secondary languages.
I've upgraded everything to cooker. I'm in runlevel 5 with en_US as my 
locale, working in KDE.

Critial point in setup: I'm using anti-aliasing in KDE

Summary: I start with a clean drakfont/ttf and drakfont/Type1 directory. Then 
I choose to import a single ttf font, verdana.ttf, using drakfont. It does 
not show up in the KDE font selection dialog. Additionally, I tried to run 
ttmkfdir and mkfdir in drakfont/ttf and restart xfs, but I still can't see 
Verdana in the KDE font selection dialog.

Summary of fix: If I copy verdana.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/ttf/western/, run 
ttmkfdir, mkfdir and xftcache there and restart xfs, I can then select 
Verdana in the KDE font selection dialog.

My guess: For some reason, KDE does not look for fonts the directory 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf. 

Please ask if you have more questions.

It should be noted that after I've imported verdana.ttf using drakfont, it 
becomes immediately available in drakfont and openoffice. It also becomes 
available in KDE without anti-aliasing. But it is not available in KDE with 
AA.

I chose to use verdana.ttf for the purposes of this example, but the same 
thing applies to all the windows fonts I've looked at.

This is reproducible, meaning that once I remove verdana.ttf from 
/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western, I cannot select it in KDE. It still exists in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf though!

[Cooker] openoffice crashes when fonts-ttf-japanese is installed

openoffice-6.0.41-2mdk
[narfi@dhcp-104-6 narfi]$ rpm -q fonts-ttf-japanese
fonts-ttf-japanese-0.19990222-12mdk

I installed 8.2 beta4, with English as a primary language and Japanese, 
Icelandic and German as secondary languages.
I've upgraded everything to cooker.

Scenario: OpenOffice crashes when I use the mouse to scroll in the font list 
in the font drop-down selection dialog in the toolbar if fonts-ttf-japanese 
is installed. 

My tests: I'm using the en_US locale, both in ~/.i18n and in KDE. I went 
through the font packages and uninstalled them one by one and then 
re-installed them one by one. I had to uninstall 3 of them until I got rid of 
the crashes. I installed 2 of them back again (fonts-ttf-decoratives 1.3-9 
and fonts-ttf-west_european 1.3-9) and open office still ran without crashes.

As soon as I install the 3rd one, fonts-ttf-japanese-0.19990222-12mdk, I can 
crash openoffice using the method described above.

Note: This also happened with fonts-ttf-japanese-0.19990222-11mdk 

I hope this bug report is up to the current standards of bug reports here on 
cooker. If it turns out to be fodder for the FAQ, please tell me why :-)

[Cooker] font bugs in KDE and OpenOffice.org using imported Windows TT fonts.

2002-03-06 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

First of all, sorry for the heavy cross-posting, I'm just in over my head 
here. May somebody more versed in font matters than I am please take over 
this one. I'm running 8.1 beta4, upgraded to cooker tonight from sunet.

I've used drakfont to import my windows fonts.
After I have imported them, they all show up in drakfont without any 
problems.

They show up in the KDE font selection dialogs when not using AA.

They don't show up in the KDE font selection dialogs when I'm using AA. 
[Configuration-LookNFeel-Fonts]

They are half-way visible in OpenOffice, and browsing the fonts from the 
OO toolbar causes it to crash with a segmentation fault.

Here are 2 screenshots I took of the KDE font selection dialogs and one of 
the OO font selection pull-down menu. Half of the OO pull-down menu is 
empty. 

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_kde_AA.png
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_kde_noAA.png
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/snapshot_ooffice.png

Can anyone reproduce this? 

I tried to copy my 8.1 drakfont directory to the 8.2 drakfont/ttf 
directory and restart xfs, but it had no effect. All these fonts work for 
me in 8.1 when using AA in KDE, so this really bugs me. 

We're talking about fonts such as Verdana, Times New Roman, Arial Unicode, 
Bitstream Cyberbit that are not accessible in AA in KDE or in 
OpenOffice.org, all very important for various reasons such as aesthetics 
or language support.

Feel free to ask me further questions, although font setup is really not 
my strong side. Believe me, I would have supplied a patch for this one if 
I could have :-)

Best,

Narfi.




[Cooker] WinTV Go drakxtv

2002-03-05 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

82 beta4

In short: My TV card was detected, but drakxtv failed to create a xawtvrc 
file for me
I'm using NTSC, US cable

The standard error output from running drakxtv is:
full pci_probe
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `(c'
sh: -c: line 1: `xvt -T 'Scanning for TV channels ' -e scantv -n NTSC 
-f USA (cable) -o ~/xawtv'

After this, xawtv starts, but in the wrong mode I can change the mode and 
get picture
[I didn't get any sound either, but I forgot to look at my mixer settings 
and check sound in other applications Argh, that's sloppy testing!! 
Please ignore this point until I reboot again in 82 beta4]

Below is the output from lspcidrake -v -f

[Cooker] drakfont: ttmkfdir missing in default install.

2002-03-05 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

8.2 beta4, updated to cooker.

When installing truetype fonts, drakfont complains about ttmkfdir missing. 
The program is of course in the freetype-tools package which does not get 
installed by default.
Here's the standard error from drakfont when I tried to install 
ArialUnicode.TTF. Note the 4th line:

mv: missing file argument
Try `mv --help' for more information.
cp: cannot stat `*.ttf': No such file or directory
sh: /usr/sbin/ttmkfdir: No such file or directory

I would expect this to explain why my 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/fonts.dir file was empty after I had 
imported my Windows fonts.

Installing freetype-tools removed the error message and then 
/usr/X11R6/lib/fonts/drakfont/ttf/fonts.dir was created.

Narfi.




[Cooker] drakfont: Fails on Arialuni.TTF

2002-03-05 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

8.2 beta4, updated to cooker.
drakxtools-1.1.7-89mdk

As I explained in a separate email, I've installed freetype-tools.
When I selected the file Arianuni.TTF using drakfont, I received the 
following on the standard error:
mv: missing file argument
Try `mv --help' for more information.
font ./LucidaBrightDemiBold.ttf: unknown usWeightClass 6
font ./LucidaBrightDemiItalic.ttf: unknown usWeightClass 6
font ./LucidaBrightItalic.ttf: unknown usWeightClass 5
...

Renaming it to Arialuni.ttf causes it to be installed, it gets mentioned in 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/fonts.dir but I still can't select it 
when I'm using anti-aliased fonts in KDE, though.  I would need some advice 
in order to make further experiments about how to make it available for AA.

Narfi.

It failed.

Is this the reason why I can't use my imported TTF fonts when I'm using AA 
in KDE, but I can use them when I'm not using antialiasing?

Thanks,

[Cooker] Drakfont imported fonts fonts missing when using AA

2002-03-02 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

I'm running cooker, updated 1 hour ago

I added Arial Unicode MS and Bitstream Cyberbit, among others, using 
drakfont and I can use those fonts when I am not using antialiasing in KDE
When I switch to AA in KDE, these fonts are not available

This is not the case in 81, I'm writing this in KDE in 81 using AA and 
Arial Unicode, it looks just beautiful

I have of course no idea where the problem lies, so please ask for more 
info if you need it,

Narfi

ps In cooker, my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/drakfont/ttf/fontsdir is 
empty Is that normal?

To recall, I made changes to

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ja/Compose (4)
and was thereby able to get KDE running under Japanese locale, as long as 
the XIM* variables are unset. If they are set, KDE still crashes right 
after reading (1) and (2). 
More exactly: nspulginscan crashes after reading (1) and (2) and then 
ksmserver crashes after reading (1) and (2) and xinit halts. straces from 
yesterdays cooker are available if anybody is interested.

[Cooker] Japanese packages missing in 8.2b3

These packages are missing in 82b3, due to space constraints I presume 
I would really appreciate it if somebody could confirm that they will 
indeed ship with 82 final and that they will be installed if Japanese is 
selected as a primary or secondary language during the installation If 
they will also be included in RC1, then that's even better :-)

 Thanks for the report.

Instead of starting KDE with 
xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :0,  I copied /usr/bin/startkde to ~/startkde 
and added strace-calls all over the place and started KDE as:
xinit ~/startkde -- :0

This made me go through realizing and trying the following:
1) Crash occurred right after reading /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/compose.dir
and a brief inspection of that file showed that the lines for Japanese 
were commented out. I uncommented them.
2) On the next startup, KDE crashed right after not finding 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/ja/Compose. That file only contains comments in 
8.1, so I just copied it from my 8.1 partition to my cooker partition.
3) On the next startup, KDE crashes right after reading 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
4) Now, if I issue the following commands on the console, right before 
invoking xinit, I can avoid the crash in 3):
/bin/rm ~/.i18n
unset XIM XMODIFIERS LANGUAGE ENC XIM_PROGRAM
unset LC_MESSAGES LC_TIME LC_NUMERIC LC_CTYPE LC_MONETARY LC_COLLATE
export LC_ALL=ja
export LANG=ja
xinit ~/startkde -- :0
Then I kde starts and it seems to work. However, if I run the following 
commands at the console and then start KDE, it crashes upon invokation at 
the same point as in 3):
export XIM=kinput2; 
export XMODIFIERS=@im=kinput2; 
export XIM_PROGRAM=kinput2
xinit ~/startkde -- :0
As the situation is right now, I find the localization of XFree86 for 
Japanese quite suspect and this may put the KDE setup in the clear. That 
is of course eventually for you guys to decide.

Best,

Narfi.

I first updated to the latest cooker. Localedrake has changed its names 
for the locales, they are now called Japanese and Japanese UTF-8.

I ran kde from  init level 3 using the regular

Just in case you are wondering: The Japanese message in these files means 
segmentation fault. Now I've learnt one more phrase in Japanese, a lot 
more to go :-)

[Cooker] Cooker: ghostscript 6.53 fails on sample gs files

2002-02-22 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson


I'm running a fully Cooker-ized 8.2 beta3. Updated at 8pm central time 
from sunet.

Here's the crux of the problem: 
ghostscript fails on these sample files:
/usr/share/ghostscript/6.53/examples/cjk/*.ps

These are all files which use the new CID-keyed fonts. They are for all 3 
languages: Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

I have other sample files myself which work really well on my 8.1 system 
(after I had fixed a bug in the gs/vflib setup) but fail on gs 6.53 in 
cooker. Just ask if you want one.

setup: 8.2 beta3, English as the primary language, Japanese, Icelandic and 
German as secondary languages. Has now been updated to cooker.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions,

Narfi.




[Cooker] KDE crashes in current cooker

2002-02-22 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Platform: 8.2 beta3, updated to cooker at 8pm central time from sunet.

Use /usr/sbin/localedrake to change the language to Japanese-EUC or 
Japanese-UTF-8.
Log out and back in again.
Start KDE with xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :0   and bingo - crash.

I selected English as the primary language during install, Japanese, 
Icelandic and German as secondary languages. I also installed kinput2 and 
FreeWnn from cooker so that I could possibly type in some Japanese!

I put straces up at 
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/xinit.en_US.out
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/xinit.ja.EUC.out
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/xinit.ja.UTF-8.out
Maybe they well you something more than they tell me!

The first strace there only for reference. Of course KDE did not crash 
with the locale set to en_US.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions/comments.

[Cooker] 8.2b3: Qt maintainers: Qt(konqueror) and Japanese.

2002-02-21 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Summary: Konqueror fails to create valid PostScript files for Japanese in 
8.2 beta3. 
My explanation:  Qt is missing a patch. Pointer to patch below. This same 
bug is present in 8.1.

How to solve this problem:

Here is my explanation: Qt-2.3.1 has a printing problem due to a gcc 2.96 
bug. This bug is present in 8.1 and requires people to patch and recompile 
their Qt if they want to be able to print Japanese from Qt programs on 
their 8.1 systems.
I am confident this same bug is causing trouble in 8.2 beta3 since I 
cannot see this patch in the changelog in the spec file for qt.

Qt maintainers: Please have a look at at the patches provided by the 
Japanese KDE users group. They have a total of 6 patches to Qt 2.3.1, one 
of them for the printing problem. Please evaluate the others as well.

http://www.kde.gr.jp/patch/

Thanks,

Narfi.
[This is not my patch. I have nothing to do with the Japanese KDE users 
group.]
How I arrived at this conclusion:

In my last email, I stated that printing http://www.asahi.com to file in 
Mozilla created a postscript file that could not be viewed in gv.
I now tried to do the same with konqueror and the viewing failed in gv on  
8.2 beta3 with the same error messages from VFlib. No surprises there.

However, I moved those 2 postscript files (one created in Mozilla, one 
created in Konqueror) to my 8.1 which I have hacked to provide proper 
Japanese setup.
Viewing these files there showed:
The mozilla postscript file was displayed properly under 8.1 which 
confirms my suspicion in my previous email that VFlib is broken in 8.2 
beta3.
The konqueror postscript file was not displayed properly under 8.1. 
This means that there are more things wrong on 8.2 beta3 than just the 
VFlib setup. The whole thing looks the same way my 8.1 box did before I 
patched Qt as described above.




Re: [Cooker] Japanese fails in 8.2b3

2002-02-21 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson


 8.2, beta 3. Three issues:

 1) kinput2 and freewnn are still missing from the CDs.
 2) Printing Japanese still fails. VFlib seems to be at fault.
 3) KDE now crashes under Japanese locale.

Changing /usr/share/ghostscript/6.52/vflib/kconfig.ps in the following 
manner solves problem 2 for me:
# diff kconfig.ps kconfig.ps.org

28,29c28,29
 /Ryumin-Light 430 (min)   VFlibkanji
 /GothicBBB-Medium 4300200 (goth)  VFlibkanji
---
 /Ryumin-Light 430 (r-kochi-mincho)VFlibkanji
 /GothicBBB-Medium 4300200 (r-kochi-gothic)VFlibkanji

This change was suggested to me by Xiaoming as a solution to the same 
problem in 8.1. Can it be incorporated into the distribution this time? 
It's shameful to release with the same bug twice!

Summary: This change enables me to view and print postscript files 
containing Japanese characters.

[Cooker] Japanese fails in 8.2b3

2002-02-21 Thread H. Narfi Stefansson

Summary:

8.2, beta 3. Three issues:

1) kinput2 and freewnn are still missing from the CDs.
2) Printing Japanese still fails. VFlib seems to be at fault.
3) KDE now crashes under Japanese locale.

I hope this will be fixed before RC1 so that I can actually start
testing the handling of Japanese.

Thanks,

Narfi.
Details:

I selected English as the primary language during install with
Japanese, Icelandic and German as secondary languages. 
I set everything up on a clean partition, note in particular that
/home is clean. I removed ~/.kde and ~/.DCOP* at regular intervals between 
my tests.

1) I ran /usr/sbin/localedrake and selected Japanese-EUC and it set up
my ~/.i18n file for Japanese. I logged out and logged in
again. Localedrake sets kinput2 as the XIM:
   LANG=ja
   LC_CTYPE=ja
   LC_NUMERIC=ja
   LC_TIME=ja
   LC_COLLATE=ja
   LC_MONETARY=ja
   LC_MESSAGES=ja
   LC_PAPER=ja
   LC_NAME=ja
   LC_ADDRESS=ja
   LC_TELEPHONE=ja
   LC_MEASUREMENT=ja
   LC_IDENTIFICATION=ja
   LC_ALL=
but kinput2 is neither of the 2 CDs. Nor is FreeWnn to be found
there. I suspect that both should be installed automatically once
Japanese is selected during the installation.
[Already reported in incident 14411 on MandrakeExpert on Feb. 13, but
obviously still not fixed.]

2) VFlib fails:  I used mozilla to go to http://www.asahi.com and it
displays the page beautifully. I printed it to file, tried to view the
ps file in gv and it failed with this error message:

GNU Ghostscript 6.52: VFlib: Cannot open the font `r-kochi-mincho'. 

[Reported on Mandrakeforum on Feb. 16, but obviously not fixed in b3.]

3) I set the computer to boot into runlevel 3. I ran
/usr/sbin/localedrake and selected Japanese-EUC. This set up my
locale as shown above. I logged out and in again. Then I started KDE
with xinit /usr/bin/startkde -- :0 and it crashed with the following
output:
[My wife tells me that the Japanese error messages mean segmentation 
fault. I took the liberty of translating those 2 lines in the output]
