How to make file name can display in Chinese and Japanese?

I'm sorry for my English.

You need to enable locale in /etc/locale.gen and in /etc/rc.conf, open terminal and type locale-gen. And off course find Chinese and Japanese fonts

This is just my assumption;
Un comment
zh_CN.UTF-8 UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen, add LOCALE="zh_CN" in /etc/rc.conf, type
locale-gen and logout, it should work if you have correct fonts installed

[sc0ttman]

And off course find Chinese and Japanese fonts

There are unicode fonts in pet format here: http://akita.scottjarvis.com/ (just search for 'font' to find them)

Hello !

certainly a stupid question, but can I have alpha0s in French ?

I did the locale-gen like discribe on the system configuration (help), now I got the french keyboard, it's great but perhaps french language is possible ?

thanks !

@rcrsn51 : bookmarks works now in firefox, I don't know why ! (certainly a bug on my brain !)

Hi, In version 3.0 all locales will be included, so every program will have support for every language.

Got download link

[Arefacti]

works !
but how can I got an Alpha OS in French

[simargl]

rameshiyer,

Files are on sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/files

Arefacti,

in /etc/locale.gen un-comment this line
#fr_FR.UTF-8 UTF-8

in /etc/rc.conf change
LOCALE="C"
to LOCALE="fr_FR.UTF-8"

open terminal and type: locale-gen

Log out, and enjoy Maybe add screenshot

I am amazed that you have got so much right just out of the gate. Smooth function and minimalist design with speedy delivery!

EDIT: My comments are of course based on the real knockout first impression, understanding, as you said, that you were doing it for yourself, and it is incomplete. More average users will want a less arcane way of setting the clock . . .

Hi, simargil.

Is this an April Fool's joke ?


Or is it serious ?

Happy Easter Tide, BTW.

Hello musher0, no joke it's real thing, if you wanna fly use alphaOS it will take you to the moon Thought appareantly not everyone like it - two thumbs down here http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/

Hi simargl,
Haven't checked in for a while. Great stuff you have here. Noticed you implemented rcrsn51 's cups improvements. Haven't tried printing though. Just hope it won't vanish one day just like archpup
By the way, would be great if you have the following in alpaOS repo.
1. Openshot
2. Subtitleedditor
3. Abiword
4. Gnumeric
5. Inkscape
6. Mtpaint

Hope I'm not asking for too much.
Cheers.

Hi,
tried version 1 and version 2 both in a VirtualBox and on real hardware.
On a VM the mouse has problems but is still somewhat usable. (well not really)
On real hardware the touchpad doesn't work at all. Even tried a Microsoft mouse and it doesn't work either.

Other Linux distros work flawlessly. (even other Puppies)

Hope you changed something with version 3.

[wyzguy]

I am testing Alphaos 3.0 and have a nvidia gt430 card.
Dmesg shows nouveau for 'fb0' and I only get 640x480 resolution.

Lsmod shows nouveau and also nvidiafb (both loaded) at the same time.
Both open source and closed source can't run at the same time, can they?
There are several other errors shown in the log file, but they are probably
only secondary errors.

Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks

please try this:
open and edit this file /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf
add following line and change modeset to nomodeset

Code: Select all

options nouveau nomodeset=1
blacklist nouveau
blacklist rivafb
blacklist nvidiafb

this way working for me.

If it doesn't work you need to find solution and notify me afterwards because I don't have laptop
to test touchpad. Or just use "Other Linux distros" if they "work flawlessly" and off course you
can go here http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/ thumb it down, anyway I'm
increasingly getting sick of all of this.

smil99: spkg update; spkg -gi pacman; pacman -Sy; ... install anything - pacman is very much untested but should work
Please don't tell me you like Mtpaint more than mighty old GIMP

[simargl]

Some things about pacman:

- pacman in the repository is version 4.1.0rc so it's not stable version but latest release candidate
- it is compiled in alphaos
- pacman.conf file is replaced to more suitable from archpup
- mirrorlist file is also from archpup, packages date is fixed to 2013/03/31
- only two changes in installed packages to make them compatible with pacman: mplayer2 provides mplayer and mesa provides libgl
- my test with it was very short: installed leadpad and qtfm, both worked
- main reason for including pacman is to have easy access to big programs and games if they are not in spkg repository and programs that provide generic linux binaries like opera or google chrome
- suggestion: if you want to install qt4 application, first install my package from repository, it provides qt4 for arch packages and installed will save you 100 MB of disk space or more
- pacman is not part of the main iso, I think every system should have just one package manager - here that is spkg, and pacman is optional tool in case you need some extra applications
