Chinese input in iBox

home_king

Well, I am quite poor.  I don't know "WuBi", I used to input Chinese characters with my PenPower writing pen.  Unfortunately, it does not work in Linux.  Since the day I dumped W98, I can no longer able to type Chinese characters.  I know a little pinyin but no so good.

well, my foreign friend. I catch your word completely. Maybe the newest kernel supports your writing pen. Have you researched on it?(BTW, My Epson printer just work under Windows or with Samba. I also hate that.;-)

I suspect the problem might be due to the 2.6.8 kernel+udev combination.

If you plan to release future versions of iBox, please get rid of the 2.6.8.x series kernel.

According to my experience, IBOX with 2.6.8x kernel never fails on device resolution. I owes a USB flash disk and it works well under ibox. Besides, it seems that 2.6.9x is unstable for LIVECD building. I remembered that I have ever failed with some errors pumped. But anyway, I will keep on concerning about the kernel update. Thanks.

I've heard of that, but strange enough, I can burn a CD as a normal user (using 2.6.8-nitro6 and k3b) without any problem.

Sounds like the 2.6.8-nitro6 kernel is patched.  At the time when I can mount the USB flash disk, I know there is something changed in the kernel.  Standard 2.6.8x kernel does not work but someone has a thread in the gentoo forum to fix it.  You'll experience trouble if you are not using the ebuild but merely download the src codes and compile it by yourself.

That's the magic of distro vendors.  Let the developers care it.

Great, if you and brother kohno doesn't mind if I write in English.  But, foreign friend? Hey 教主, I am a Chinese.  I just feel myself very shameful.  As a Chinese but has difficulties to communicate in Chinese, and with poor Putonghua.:eek:
Well, I guess you guys already have cues on where am I from.

The writing pen uses serial port, but serial device under Linux is very poor.  I haven't tested the 2.6.9 kernel, no ideas yet.

Epson printer should be well supported in CUPS.  My Stylus Color Photo 790 works perfectly OK in any distros, including iBOX.;)

AFAIK, kernel 2.6.9 resolved the SCSI breaking problem by some other means.  As a result, USB device mount points are no longer sda...Need further study.

教主, BTW, do you experience the same timing problem on your flash disk mount point?

What kind of printer are you using? Have you followed the Printing Guide? http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml

Kernel-2.6.8-nitro6 that ibox uses is a very good kernel; I haven't encountered any problem using it so far.  On the other hand, the new nitro-sources that came out lately, ie 2.6.9-nitro3, seems better still (I've had problems with 2.9.1-nitro1 & nitro2, but everything just works with nitro3), I'd recommend it to everyone without reservation.
