Hi, Similar to how i setup my mdk8.1 machine to work with Japanese in KDE etc I have now been trying to do the same on 8.2. However X either crashes or the whole system crashes while starting X. If it does start kinput does not work. I used the same technical info as last time, modifying the .i18n file and the KDE fonts etc. Has anyone got 8.2 working sucessfully with Japanese input/display?

And your other CPU probably will. The first 30 days are the time when hardware has the greatest chance of failure. After that the failure rate levels off and doesn't spike again until expected end of life. Think of it this way. Since yours blew in thirty days .. hundreds of other CPU's will keep on running. Unfortunately you got the one. I realize this is no consolation but it's true. If you can take it back do so fast. Then on the next one. Use enough heat compound. A really good fan and feel safe that it probably won't happen again. If it does You've probably got a Mobo problem. However this kind of failure is very rare.

Re: [expert] Upgrading glibc
Hi again! Thanks for the responses I don't have a spare box with similar hardware. the cluster is very heterogeneous we have some PII 400,450,500 (may be 6 or 7) and some celerons with sis, mach,etc video cards a duron and a athlon with some generic TNT2 video cards. I know I could solve the config problems that could arise. But the other problem is that a machine is the nis server. the other the dns server another is the printing server. I distribute the load so if something fails not the hole system goes down, and we could use all the machines to run jobs. We use it to make computational simulations and the physicist are difficult people when they can't use the cluster.. ( I'm a physicist too :) ). I already use the idea of put the .rpms in one directory and the rpm -Fhv the hole directory that's the way I use to upgrade till now. I share a directory between the machines (/usr/loca/) with nfs. May be I could find a spare machines to test an upgrade and somehow rsync with the rest... (I must use a couple of machines because I would need to test the response from this machine with the diskless machines that use this to boot). Meanwhile I will try to compile glibc 2.2.4 and try to install it in another directory... (may be under /usr/local/ or /opt/lib that is shared between the machines). And test some precompiled binaries (may be extract some binaries from the rpm packages) that need the 2.2.4 library, changing the LDPATH environmet variable. I hope it didn't explode. Thanks!!!

JG [Sorry for the possible repost -- I believe the first attempt failed] Yes, http://www.math.wisc.edu/~stefanss/japanese The main difference that I found between 8.1 and 8.2 is that if the fonts are not set properly and Japanese is enabled, KDE will crash on startup. For that reason, I used localedrake to set the locale to Japanese [this sets the locale and the fonts for KDE] and then I modified the KDE control center and the ~/.i18n file to my liking.

As most IT companies it is having difficulties, as SuSe (don know about teh other two). But it didn't went public or made a CL CLub (note that I'm not saying Mandrake doing so means it is particularly sick). I also agree that more standartization, specially like LSF, is badly needed in the linux community. From a corporate standpoint it is much easier to provide software and hardware ( and to rely on these) when they are fully standard and certified. I agree that M$ will see UL as a big treat in the corporate market (they already perceive Linux as such). I don't see so much trouble for Sun, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they actually joined the train, considering their latest moves towars Linux. An Open-Office (or Star-Office) ready UnitedLinux distro might be M$ worst nightmare... I expect to see some companies shipping PCs with UL+Open_Office pre-installed soon. On the other hand, I'm not that sure it will be a good thing for medium sized distros like Mandrake ( in spite of Mandrake being aimed more at the desktop). It is a hard enough time for IT companies, and having a super-giant distro backed up by big hardware cias won't help the smaller ones. Mandrake will have to make an effort to catch up, and adhere to the standard... and *that* might be a dangerous thing, UL might actually become strong enough so that it can *impose* some standards, M$ (or IBM) way. And I would not be quite found of that, I prize my freedom of choice. I see no big deal for Debian and Slackware, their user-base is so fanatic they're are unlikely to change. :^) As a note, in Conectiva white-paper about UL, they said they were opened to *any other Linux team* which would like to join the association. *If* (and it a big if) this thing works , I see not only other distros joining it but perhaps other Linux solution-providers (think Ximian, MySQL AB...) as well.

I have downloaded and installed Windows Media Player and am trying to get it to associate with .wmv files.

Embedding is set to show file in a seperate viewer. If I left-click on a .wmv file I get a bunch of crap in my browser window and Windows Media Player does not open. However, if I right click on it, select Open With, then type in wmediaplayer.sh it opens it just fine. What am I doing wrong with my associations? Any help would be appreciated.
