Re: baddog
wine should not be dependent on the winbind, I would like to ask your wine is not on XEPC version?
If not, can Xianpao sudo dpkg-r libwine-oss to remove the out-of-date packages, and then run sudo apt-get-f install amendment to the installation of wine.

Re: baddog
Your sources.list in a lot of software source, it appears that there are a number of sources with XEPC provided by the conflict, you can put xepc.org In addition to the asus and are outside the comment before running out sudo apt-get-f install, to address After further back. The most likely estimate is that xnv4.xandros.com.

Thank you advice ...
1. Installed the wine 1.0 ... may I ask you ... went to Chinese software or other version of the Chinese wine
2. To use apt-get install gcin, said that the system is the latest version of gcin ... but my input method does not contain a "simple"
How can upgrade to 1.4.2
By baddog on Jul 2, 2008
lazyfai,
tks for your patience ...
i just managed to install the gcin 1.4.2 after pinned up the xepc.org repos ...
just wondering ...
y the way to change the input method has totally changed .. b4 it is just a single click, and now it needs to press clt-spacebar ... and single click will turn on the conversion to simplified fonts ...
the most importantly ... where does the pinyin input method for simplified chinese has gone? it will be so vital to the ppl from mainland china ...
is it only available in the asus version? or it has been done away from your gcin 1.4.2?
regards
By baddog on Jul 3, 2008
Re: baddog
I think it is specific to ASUS version only, but I will try to make it back to official gcin version, stay tuned.
Yes the method to change input method is changed, and actually it is due to increased function, like traditional chinese <-> simplified chinese and so on.
By lazyfai on Jul 3, 2008
lazyfai,
i love the new feature to convert between traditional and simplified chinese ... it is so handy ...
however, the pinyin method is so important for gcin being an universal input plugin for chinese ppl in any region .. i am working in mainland china ... and can assure you here all my colleagues know one and only one input method ... ie pinyin ... so , Kindly pls add it back ...
btw ... *** my previous question ... ***
is it possible to run chinese software on wine 1.0 ... or do i need a localized version of wine?
i see the screenshot of your system and it looks you are using a chinese version of linux ..
does it matter for running chinese on wine?
By baddog on Jul 3, 2008
Re: baddog
Wine is OK for chinese, but of course, it depends on your environment, if you use chinese environment, it can display chinese correctly, if your environment is english, there may have some difficulties.
For input method, please wait for a while and I will do it these 2 days.

hi lazyfai,
my eee 900 is bought from hk .. i have no problem with displaying chinese filenames in the file manager ... so i suppose the stock xandros is chinese enabled .... what more should i do to enable chinese proj running on wine?
By baddog on Jul 5, 2008
Re: baddog
Then it should be chinese-ready, but of course it depends on the programs you run, most of the programs are supported, and wine will "try its best" to run.

hi lazyfai,
just replaced the stock Xandros with Xubuntu 8.04 ... prefer better support for ubuntu community ..
there is no chinese input method installed with scim even though i selected chinese lang option for the installation .. after installation i managed to install lang support for chinese ... but the system install a nos of unused stuff, eg lang support for Openoffice and other software that has not been installed ...
questions:
1. Can i remove the unused stuff one by one?
2. Wanna replace the scim with your latest gcin ... would the gcin in your xepc repos also support Xubuntu?
3. If not, do i need any config after i remove the scim and install the gcin from xubuntu repos (only 1.3.7 from their xubuntu, but i want the auto simplified traditional conversion)?
tks!
By baddog on Jul 17, 2008
Re: baddog
Sorry I only support Xandros based system, for Ubuntu / Xubuntu system please ask in their forum, but for generic questions, I can give you some idea.
1. You can see the list of installed program by "dpkg-l" command, to uninstall a specific program, you can do "sudo apt-get remove xxxxxxx" where xxxxxxx is the name of program you see from the "dpkg-l "Output, first column.
2. No, you can get the source package from http://updates.xepc.org/pool-main/source/ and build it under Ubuntu yourself ...
3. No, if you uninstalled scim and install gcin, the default input method will be gcin automatically.

Hi,
I just installed the lazyeeepc pack, mainly for the chinese input. However, i can not find pinyin input in the layout options ... i wonder how to solve the problem? I do find some tutorial online about enabling the chinese input, but it is for 701 and doesn't work on 900 ... .. thanks in advance
By dadada on Jul 19, 2008
lazyfai ..
removed scim from the ubuntu (and Xubuntu, tried both) .... and installed the gcin from the ubuntu repos (only 1.3.7 ver) ...
pressed the CTRL-SPACE, the IM selection does not show up at the right top of the window ... ie not able to activate the gcin ...
interestingly, i opened a terminal session, then right click and context menu popup ... there i could select gcin from the input method ... and I was able to and activate gcin ... however, still not able to toggle with CTRL-SPACE ...
how could i activate gcin using CTRL-SPACE?
i checked the gcin setup ... and it should be toggled by CTRL-SPACE ....
missing anything or scripting?
By baddog on Jul 27, 2008
Cannot use ctrl-space to change to Chinese input in firefox 3.01 nor pidgin 2.51. But can use it in openoffice and skype. Any way to fix it?

Re: Alan
Are you using full desktop mode?
Seems there are some issues in full desktop mode, so ASUS decided to close it after some version ...

Re: Lazyfai
No, I've just recover from F9, install all update from Asus, then upgrade all from Xepc. And I'm using the easy mode. I also has problem that pidgin 2.51 crashes during start up, while MSN is trying to load, that doesn't crash with other protocol.
By Alan on Sep 14, 2008
Re: Alan & Lazyfai
1. I using Asus 1000H running 1000's Xandros
I have the same problem, the firefox 3.01 won't work with gcin 1.42.
I can walk around this problem by put
[Export GTK_IM_MODULE = "XIM"] in file / opt / firefox / firefox.
Lazyfai may know where this should be taken care of.
In Ubuntu scim work very well with Chinese input.
2 to Lazyfai:
What is the proper way to add the "ttf-arphic-ukai" Chinese fonts into eeepc OS?
Thank you for your help.
