KDE apps and kanji

hi,
using XFCE actually but amarok is there too
I noticed i can't see kanji symbols in amarok, but ONLY kanji. Other unicode symbols are ok.
Katakana and hiragana are shown properly.
The same situation is with ID3 tags and filenames when displayed by amarok.
And yes both filename nad ID3 tags are 100% unicode.
In terminal and applications like thunar filenames are displayed properly even with kanji.
My locale is using utf8.
Asked some of ppl i know and they had the same problem. Not only with amarok but other KDE apps too.
So what could it be?
Is it that KDE applications use fonts that can't display kanji yet can display katakana and hiragana?
Makes no sense to me...
Hope anyone knows the solution
thx

Hey _saiko,
I'm running XFCE on arch64, and am living in 熊本 right now so I deal with kanji on a daily basis.  Both kanji and kana work for me in Amarok (and everywhere else, for that matter), here are the instructions that I followed step by step in order to achieve it.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Scim
I also had the following fonts installed by pacman:
ttf-arphic-ukai
ttf-arphic-uming
ttf-dejavu
ttf-fireflysung
もしそうするとまだ漢字を見えなかったら、どうすればいい分かりません。
many thanks
after i installed the fonts amarok displays kanji too!
the thing is... i didn't think fonts would be the problem since all my other applications successfully showed kanji with like.. default fonts
tho... those kanji appear in amarok as if they really are from some other font
actually... it's my font rendering that has problems...
only those kanji and only in amarok... they appear as if they aren't rendered properly...
here's a sshot:

  • [SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

    Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
    Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
    The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
    1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
    2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
    3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
    After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
    1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
    2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
    3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
    4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
    5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
    As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
    If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

    I was just looking into locales, actually.
    My current locale is:
    LANG=en_US.utf8
    LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
    LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
    LC_COLLATE=C

    LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
    LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
    LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
    LC_ALL=
    and locale -a brings up:
    C
    POSIX
    en_US.utf8
    Is there anything here that could be causing this issue?
    I'm curious how my locale got messed with in the first place if this is indeed the problem...

  • Xcompmgr messing with openbox windows (conky and kde apps only)

    here's the involved packages:
    openbox 3.4.7.2-1
    nvidia 177.82-1
    xorg-server 1.5.3-3
    xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
    kdelibs3 3.5.10-2
    conky 1.6.1-2
    now the issue is primarily with xcompmgr.  when it's running (default options or the whole -cCfF... stuff doesn't make a difference).  i have the following:
    whenever a kde apps window opens.  (i.e. i start amarok or k3b; k3b opens new windows during burn start/stop process) my conky will disappear only to flicker and reappear a few seconds later. (this only happens with kde apps)
    when i'm tweaking my conky i will often `pkill conky; sleep 3; conky` to see my changes.  when i kill conky, ALL of my active windows on the current desktop disappear and only reappear if a) they are redrawn because of an update to their contents on their own accord, or b) (kinda the same thing) i grab a window and drag it all over the screen resetting whatever i pass over to it's correct visual state.  (this only happens when killing conky)
    this is annoying me, i love the shadows/fading from xcompmgr but this flickering makes my whole experience feel unstable and i have to turn it off after a few minutes.  turn off xcompmgr and it's rock solid just as before... snappier too i think.
    this behavior started immediately after the recent xorg update (i saved that for last because i know were all sick of _that_).  i changed nothing, but for the -Syu when this happened.
    anyways, your thoughts and help is much appreciated.

    so i'm resurrecting this thread because i hoped, and  prayed, that xorg 1.6 in testing would fix this problem.  i've been working my ass off to keep my system back in xorg 1.4.  my desktop just looks so oldfashioned w/o shadows and transparency. 
    ok so to re-outline, i'm running:
    pacman -Q stuff
    xorg-server 1.6.0-1
    nvidia 180.29-3
    openbox 3.4.7.2-1
    xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
    with this gpu:
    hwd -s | grep video
    Video : GeForce 7150 / nForce 630i server: XFree86 (vesa)
    i created a minimal xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig an added a few suggested options (although they _really_ don't seem to affect this bug...):
    cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
    # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
    # nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Feb 5 00:08:50 PST 2009

    Monitor "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    SubSection "Display"
    Depth 24
    EndSubSection
    EndSection
    now, here's what happens:
    i startx, .xinitrc or autostart.sh bring up xcompmgr, bmpanel, and conky
    if i open amarok or k3b, conky and bmpanel (both using transparency) vanish while the splash screen(s) show.
    when i burn something with k3b (and new windows appear) i see similar behavior
    sometimes it's just for a sec and then it's back, sometimes conky comes back with part of itself missing
    also, if you execute `pkill conky` from an xterm, all windows are 'destroyed' until you [blindly] grab that xterm window and move it about your desktop 'revealing' the desktops contents.  please see this screenshot for this in action.
    killing xcompmgr fixes all this... but it's so ugly.  the problems go away if i downgrade to xorg-server 1.4 (and also adjust any related/dependant packages to match).
    please please, tell me i'm not alone!  a fix would be nice too .
    thanks in advance... again

  • KDE apps in awesome: ugly and missing icons

    Hi,
    I use awesome WM and now installed a KDE app (rkward). The problem: It looks like sh** and all the icons are missing.
    What additional package is needed to display them? And can the complete look be improved too?
    TIA

    When I logged out/in $PATH was updated and I can call the apps directly, also they got added to the gnome meny.. but guess what? still the same problem

    Note : some of the actions may break pacman or KDE
    Basically whate do is
    Uninstall KDE 4 package
    Install KDE 3 package
    Remove the conflict information from the KDE 4 package description files
    Install back the KDE 4 package (overwriting the KDE 3 files if required)
    Complete files from other packages if required

    You could also use the kde3 packages from kdemod. There were some conflicts with kde4 initially but I think it should work now.

  • Smb4k not theming (pllus some other KDE apps)

    I recently did a fresh install on my laptop and smb4k's fonts are huge.  I am using fluxbox, but I do have KDE installed.  I have changed the font sizes in systemsettings (kcontrol replacement? I don't have kcontrol at all, but I did install KDE despite me not using it), /usr/bin/qtconfig and /opt/qt/bin/qtconfig (which I believe are different as one is 3 and one if 4)  Also, I tried the qtcurve stuff as well.
    I know smb4k is a KDE app, but I do have my GTK stuff configured correctly.
    Edit: Amarok is also using the larger font (same as smb4k) but other stuff like Kwallet and the systemsettings interface are not.
    Any suggestions?

  • How can I use KDE apps in Openbox?

    I like using Openbox because it fits very well in my netbook, it's fast and lightweight. I also like to use a good file manager, like Dolphin and a image viewer like Gwenview. I can perfectly run those apps in Openbox, but there is a dark side.
    When I execute them, a bunch of extra processes come in, like knotify, kded4, khelper, kacpid, and a lot with "k"! I hate that because even after all the apps are closed, knotify (and the others) still running and consume about 90% of the CPU (specially knotify) when in normal use (without KDE apps), the average usage of it is about 10%
    Is there any way to use a "standalone" Dolphin or Gwenview or any other KDE app?
    Thanks!
    Last edited by sironitomas (2011-01-30 15:57:39)

    I use also some KDE applications in openbox, and I saw also the 7% cpu usage of knotify4 after the upgrade to KDE 4.6 with a new $HOME/.kde4.
    I could suppress that the same way as mentioned in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77531 post #2
    ie choosing "No audio output" for the notifications.
    I use regularly Konsole and play some KDE games; here are the KDE related processes running continuously :
    berbae 4400 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kdeinit4 Runnin e
    berbae 4402 4400 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: klauncher [kdei e
    berbae 4404 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]
    root 4412 1 0 10:32 ? 00:01:31 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
    berbae 4458 1 0 10:33 tty1 00:00:09 konsole
    berbae 4460 4458 0 10:33 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash
    berbae 4562 1 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/knotify4
    With these processes running I get 0-1% cpu usage, of course after the change with the notifications output.
    Hope that will solve also your issue.

  • How can I create an application shortcut in the KDE App Launcher?

    Please look up for *.desktop file structure, all you need to do is create a /usr/share/applications/komodo.desktop file with the appropriate content. You can start with any other desktop file as template.

  • KDE, aRts, and the recent flac update

    Good morning,
    I am running kde 3.3.1. No issues. I performed a pacman -Syu recently, and the flac package was updated.
    At this point, I lost my sound, specifically aRts is not running in KDE. So KDE native apps that use aRts, such as noatun, and the KDE sounds that are specific to KDE events, do not work now.
    The sound system (alsa) is still working though. Non-KDE apps generate sound perfectly, even when launched from within KDE. Last night I watched "The Day After Tomorrow" with xine, ...no sound issues. But KDE is voiceless.
    Checked the obvious such as sound settings, mute, ran alsamixer in a console and verified that something wasn't muted, and verified that my default levels had not been misadjusted...
    Thinking I had a system problem, I started gnome (2.8). It has it's own system sounds with no issues, so my problem appears to be KDE specific.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Dave..........

    Gentlemen,
    Sorry for being so late to chime but I've been busy trying to skull out XML all day and haven't had a chance to check the forum before this.
    I did the upgrade last night but didn't notice the problem with the KDE system sounds till I read this thread (I'm now using XFce 95% of the time). Like the rest xmms and other sound apps work - just no system sounds. Everything else appears to running peachy...:)

    Ok I know that the slickness of xfce is lost if I use kde apps but here is my problem: Everytime I delete a file/dir my sound level goes up to 100% and the speakers (or the headphones) go *BLABLING*.
    I know from here [1] and here [2] that this is due to KDE settings.
    I don't want to install the whole KDE environment, start it up and untick the System Notifications from there. I want to install that one package that controls them.
    On ubuntu the package is called systemsettings [3] but I did not find anything similar in the arch repository.
    Here is my uname: 3.18.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 7 08:44:05 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
    Maybe these installed packages are of some relevance:
    Xfce 4.12
    pulseaudio 6.0
    pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
    alsa-lib 1.0.29-1
    lib32-libpulse 6.0-1 (not quite sure why I have a 32bit package here but I don't think that causes any trouble)
    krusader 2.4.0beta3-5
    Thanks for any help and sorry if I did not found the same question here on this forum.
    Have a great day,
    Matt

  • Problem - diacretic letters in non-KDE apps under KDE

    I'm using KDE (kdemod actually) with polish keyboard layout. This works fine for KDE-apps, but not for gimp and pidgin (and probably other gtk apps). I can't enter polish letters in them.
    I should probably use some gnome config panel or something to change keyboard layout, but I don't want to install gnome. Which packages to install, why so many, what to do and why gnome does not use my KDE keyboard layout?

    I can use gnome-keyboard-properties and set keyboard layout. But this afects only current session, desipte good layout is set as default one.
    Anything that I could throw into .kde/Autostart/ ?

  • KDE apps not working in Openbox, Fluxbox, or XFCE [solved]

    Whenever I try to run any KDE apps in Openbox, fluxbox, XFCE etc. it gives me "no such file or directory" or "command not found" or what have you. Everything works fine in KDEmod but the only KDE app I've made work in anything else was ktorrent just for a test. It's like they don't even exist outside of KDE. I've been very successful at moving to Openbox besides this, and it's VERY frustrating because I really want some of these programs. Any ideas?

    good deal
    If you want to configure your xfce menu, you can add .desktop files to /usr/share/applications.  k3b.desktop could be something like:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=K3b
    Exec=/opt/kde/bin/k3b
    Icon=/opt/kde/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/k3b.png
    Type=Application
    Categories=GTK;AudioVideo;
    Encoding=UTF-8
