[SOLVED] Cannot get japanese fonts working in console

First time with Arch. Did a clean install yesturday with Plasma as my choice of GUI.
I have everything work, except for getting Japanese font support in consoles.
First, fonts worked inside Dolphin, but looked terrible. So I added the infinality repos and installed infinality-bundle, infinality-bundle-multilib, ibfonts-meta-base, and ibfonts-meta-extended.
This was probably overkill, but fonts look perfect in both my file manager and applications, but still no support in console, konsole, uxterm, or yakuake terminals.
Then I made sure both "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" inside of /etc/locale.gen were uncommended and then ran "locale-gen" as root to generate the locales. After a reboot the fonts still wont work, the appear as ? in console.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After a lot of messing around, I finally got it to work.
Not only did "en_US.UTF-8" and "ja_JP.UT8" need to uncommented, but also "en_US.ISO-8859-1" and "ja_JP.EUC-JP".
Running "sudo locale-gen" then returned:
Generating locales...
en_US.UTF-8... done
en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
ja_JP.EUC-JP... done
ja_JP.UTF-8... done
Generation complete.
As expected. Oddly enough, the output of "locale" has not changed at all, but now japanese fonts show up correctly in shell and terminals, even without a reboot!

(SOLVED) cannot get sound to work on multiple programs

im using the most current version of kde 4.2, and alsa with hda audio
snd_hda_intel
sound works great, but i cannot get it work on more than one program at at time. i tried pulseaudio, i tried esd and i blacklisted oss from my rc.conf.
every time i tried loading esd it would just fallback to my hda audio.
im not sure what to do now...i am running arch x64, may this have something to do with it?
any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Don't use ESD and PulseAudio, the only thing they make are problems.
Do you have a ~/.asoundrc or a /etc/asound.conf? If yes, try to delete them.

[SOLVED] Cannot get Bluetooth to work.

Hallo,
Well. I can't get bluetooth to work. I have 3 different Bluetooth Dongles to test. lsusb lists them like this:
Bus 001 Device 027: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
Bus 001 Device 026: ID 057c:3800 AVM GmbH BlueFRITZ! Bluetooth Stick
Bus 002 Device 014: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
2 Obviously have the same chip. On my fathers Fedora box all these dongles work. So I started the bluetooth daemon. I connected all 3 sticks and this is what my messages.log tells me:
May 25 18:33:57 aseria hcid[30513]: Bluetooth HCI daemon

They are not recognized. hcid should detect them according to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth
After searching the forums the solution for others was to turn on dbus. But my dbus is on.
lsmod | grep blue:
bluetooth 56484 8 hidp,hci_vhci,hci_uart,bpa10x,bfusb,rfcomm,l2cap,hci_usb
hcitool lists no available devices. What am I missing? Someone has an idea?

Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. Gives network error. But all other devices work .

I Cannot get FaceTime to work on my mini. It gives me a network error. But all my other devices work fine.

Quite a few people have posted about having issues with Facetime and iMessages over the past few weeks. The update to iOS 8.1.3 was supposed to address those issues and you could try updating your iPad. But the fix didn't work for everybody.
IF you are getting the message about checking your network connection, start with these very basic troubleshooting steps.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Have the pics allways been used off the external drive?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Is Spotlight indexing that drive, or is it used by Time Machine?

Related Selects - Cannot get it to work

I am creating a report and need to use related selects,
second pulldown dependent of first pulldown selection.
I found this example off the internet and it does exactly
what I want to do :
http://www.webtricks.com/code/code.cfm?CodeID=18
However, when I attempt to make my substitution in the code,
all I get for my second pulldown is the id numbers, no names. I am
frustrated beyond belief ! Seems simple enough but I just cannot
get it to work and I have been playing with this for over two weeks
now.
Can somebody please show me how to do it ? Here is my query
(the example uses two but I think it can be done in one)
<cfquery name="GetSites" datasource="dbName">
select distinct
s.siteID,
s.site,
a.siteID as areaID,
a.area as depot
from table1 s, table2 a
where s.siteID = a.siteID
and s.siteID <> 1
My first pulldown will be the site, and depending on what is
selected, the second pulldown will be populated with the area
(depot) for that site. I tried to substitute my varialbes into the
url code and it did not work, Can somebody please show me the
proper way to do this ? Thanks

Hi,
I think when you are using JS code then you are assigning the
value to the second Drop down box in this way:
"document.formname.second_combo_box_name[n].
text" = some_value
So check "document.formname.second_combo_box_name[n].
text" should be assigned area (depot) name in java script.
It should not be number but area name.
I hope this solves your query. Let me know on this.

I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr. The 2 finger scroll is enabled & new drivers install

I cannot get scrolling to work on DV6-6172nr. The 2 finger scroll is enabled but doesn't work. I have downloaded the latest drivers and still no vertical scrolling. This could be a deal breaker. I have only had this laptop for 2 days and if I can't resolve this issue, the laptop is going back to the store. Please help.

Hi,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp54001-54500/sp54483.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again. You may have to check that Two Finger Scrolling is enabled in the device settings tab under Mouse.
If this fails to correct the problem, I think I would agree with what you suggest yourself and simply return the notebook.
Regards,
DP-K

Cannot get Wireless to work

I have a brand new W520 for my company and we cannot get wireless to work. Here is what I tried.
Clean install of Windows 7 Professional
Installed the ThinkVantage tools, including Access Connections.
Installed the drivers from the Lenvo Support site. Had to install manually as Lenovo System Update would not return anything for me to install, even when I had a ton of missing drivers.
Installed the ThinkPad Wireless LAN drivers for the wireless card in my system. I have the ThinkPad b/g/n card.
No wireless adapter is found for the wireless, just the Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection which works fine for the wired connection.
The wireless radio is on. I flipped the switch mutliple times. The screen seems to flicker when I flip it but nothing happens.
ThinkVantage Access Connections says "No supported wireless adapters are installed on the system" when I click "Manage Wireless Radio".
I verified the card is seated properly and the connections are all tight.
I ran a PC Doctor scan (from boot disk) against the wireless card and it Passed.
In Device Manager I have two items remaining that show issues.
Base System Device
Network Controller
I can't seem to resolve those two items in device manager with any of the drivers I've found on the Lenovo support site.
Any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi egregorich,
Check in the BIOS whether it's enabled, F1 to enter the BIOS, it should be under Config -> Networks.
Also, can you let us know what does the sticker on the card say? Does it say Intel Wimax 5150 or 5350?
Try the following driver, the one on this support page is incorrectly linked as ThinkPad driver when it's not (or unless the ThinkPad card in your system is from Intel which I highly doubt):- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-76909
Keep us posted.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

How can I switch on my Apple TV speakers when it asks "multiple speakers" I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work?

How can I get my Apple TV airplay to work from my PC. On the airplay symbol it says Multiple Peakers please choose but I cannot switch off my computer speakers and switch on my Apple TV speakers so cannot get airplay to work from my PC. Everything is OK when using my Ipod touch.

Don't use Multiple Speakers option and just choose the AppleTV
What are you trying to Airplay? If it's iTunes content it's simpler to 'pull' the stream from the Computers icson on AppleTV by selecting the libarry and media.
If you are attempting to Airplay the desktop you can't.

Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
You could use the free DNG Converter.
