Okay, here's a question:
I want to install an eroge via Wine. The thing is, I need to be on Japanese locale in Ubuntu (and possibly configure it in Wine, too), but I can't seem to find it. Without Japanese locale, the CD image I mount shows a couple of files tagged as ???, instead of having regular names, which I think will affect the installation. Not to mention that, without Japanese locale, fonts won't be displayed correctly in-game. Does anyone know how to do this in Ubuntu Feisty?

I am not sure... but imo it depends on the encoding used for the filenames. If it is utf-8 (which is an international standard for such things), then you'll basically just need a font set that supports the characters (try to locate one in your system managment stuff). On another note, in my Gentoo KDE I was able to to install japanese locale without problems (maybe its a problem especially with Kubuntu?).

Your laptop is a core solo, so virtualization might hurt a bit. However, I think that processor still has the embedded virtualization support, so perhaps not? Although I'm really recommending this more for your desktop (which I don't think you mentioned the hardware on it). Don't expect to play games through it, but for practically anything else, it should work nicely. I use different virtualization software on my Macbook Pro (Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM), and while I don't run to Windows as often as I thought I would, it definitely helps to be able to access all of your old software. It's a more system-intensive solution than WINE, but it guarantees better compatibility with less tinkering.

Gentoooooo ... within a few weeks I'm gonna get my raid controller and install Gentoo once again... I just home those 3 brand new disks won't fail with it -_-
How's Gentoo doing by the way? It's like more than a year since I last used it. By the way... I've a question concerning SCIM... How do you make it type accents such as éâëàò etc? |

Well, the crash problems that Ubuntu Linux 7.04 (Feisty) was suffering from due to past updates has been resolved it seems. Rolling back to -15 may have helped the problem temporarily, but prevented people from recieving updates. But now, a new system update was put out in order to resolve the issue. So far, the OS seems to be stable and I have yet to recieve any system crash problems. Of course, I'll continue to test the system for several days to be sure the problem has been fully resolved.

UPDATE: Oookay, I just ran the installation via Wine and the display I get in the windows is the same as in a non-Japanese locale Windows (that is, broken fonts).

It's OK, I managed to do it. I had to type "LANG=ja_JP" before wine in the command line. I'll be on the lookout for more troubles. Thanks anyways. I'll see if mounting the iso while adding that line helps me.
UPDATE: No, it still showed the '???', and obviously the installation program couldn't locate the files it needed .

Okay, I'm an idiot, I was running the mount command with an iso96-something option. I eliminated it and it mounts with no problem at all.
UPDATE: OKAY, NOW I'M PISSED. I mounted the damn iso with Japanese supported, and the installer looks for a damn '[some kanji]???.alm' file and refuses to install. I checked the cd image and there appear no files labeled as '???'. I'm puzzled.

Might try here as well. I've just completed a clean install on a PC I just built for my brother.
Specs CPU: AMD X2 3600+ Mobo: Asus M2n8 vmx Video: ECS 256 nvdia 7600gt Wireless card: Asus WL138G LG SATA Dual layer burner WD SATA 250gig HDD Ram 1 gig ISP: Optusnet Australia Wireless Router: WRT54gl Cable Modem: Motorola SB5100 But now I can't connect to the internet, I've plugged into the ethernet adapter cable modem -> PC direct, I've removed the router, Ubuntu picks it up and says I'm connected but all connections time out. I've tried a manual config using what's on the Win XP Pc but still no go. I've tried DHCP and still no good. Eventually once I can get the ndiswrapper and stuff this will become a wireless connection until then I'm chained to the basement. I also had this issue on install and am not too sure if its related. I boot up using the burned ISO CD. I get to the menu asking me what I'd like to do. I select option 1 but the following errors come up 18.239616 MP-Bios bug 8234 timer not connected to io apic 18.418467 Kernel Panc - not syncing 10 apic +timer doesn't work boot wth apic = debugand send report. I did the f6 noapic thing which let me install. Thanks for any help or suggestions. So far everything works fine all apps work ok, usb and bluetooth are working. If you need more info please let me know. (also how to get that info if I have to do the command line stuff). I should probably buy the Linux Bible to get a better grasp of what's going on |

Have you tried resetting the modem?
In the past one of my friends had cable internet and couldn't get a connection after he replaced his ethernet card in his computer. Resetting the modem did the trick. Afterwards it seemed that it had to do something with the mac address that was registered. When you had a cable modem onto a pc, then on a router and it doesn't work and to a new pc and still doesn't work it might be the same case as my friend's. His modem was also a motorola one, but I've no idea what model. |

Hmmm
I've not connected up directly via my modem before in Ubuntu (or nix for that matter), but the command to check what interfaces are available in the terminal is sudo ifconfig -a Is your connection PPPoE? How did you configure it? I'm guessing you have done something as you mention u tried the same config as on the XP PC... If it is PPPoE below is a howto.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82879 Have you configured a firewall? Check with sudo /sbin/iptables -L (has to be a cap L) *EDIT* If a command doesn't work I might have pathed it wrong, or its not in your search path. To find the full path you use whereis {command without the brackets} Any security nut, errr I mean security concious nix person will tell you that you should always use the full path to prevent yourself from being nailed by a trojan.

NVM I figured it out. The dropkick hasn't paid his bill. He's been disconnected. I feel so stupid.
Oh actually BTW how do I use ndiswrapper? I get this error but I just don't get what I have to do? "If you get an error with ndiswrapper -i filename.inf along the lines of “couldn’t copy filename.inf at line xxx”, then ‘filename.inf’ most probably does not exist. Check your spelling carefully and remember to use upper / lower case where appropriate. You will have to correct this failed installation with ndiswrapper -r filename (note: not filename.inf) before trying again." |

ndiswrapper lets you use the Windows drivers for the card. The .inf file is on the installation medium for the wireless card. When you install a driver in Windows, it looks for the .inf file to determine what to install. ndiswrapper does the same. So if you have the driver on a diskette or CD, mount that first, then give ndiswrapper the full path to the .inf file.
My knowledge here is purely second-hand. I don't use ndiswrapper; I only get machines with Intel wireless which is well supported in Linux. Do you know what chipset your Asus card uses? If it's a Broadcom, I'd visit their website because I just noticed they've announced native Linux drivers for their cards, which in the past have been horrible to support.
