Note
adding the following line
export LC_ALL=ar_EG.UTF-8
cause some applications to be opened with arabic interface .i.e openoffice
to avoid that add the following line instead
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

I could find the solution in arabic forum
This solution should work with other languages also like hebrew
edit your /etc/fstab
add [iocharset=utf8] to the 4th column of any row contains the word vfat
i.e.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat defaults,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e vfat defaults,iocharset=utf8 0 0
install the arabic support (or whatever your language)
urpmi locales-ar
add the following line to /etc/profile (for kde users)
export LC_ALL=ar_EG.UTF-8
add the following line to /etc/profile (for genome users)
export CHARSET=ISO_8859-6
export G_BROKEN_FILENAMES=1
reboot
thats all

PClinuxOS comes in only one CD and it doesn't include Genome
But I tried with another GUI called flux or something like that
and still the problem exist.
I don't think the problem in fstab file
I have now 2 computer one with mandrake (support arabic file names) and PClinuxOS
I modified the fstab file of PClinuxOS according to the fstab file of Mandrake but still nothing working
-
Try mounting your partition(s) defining the UTF-8 charset, something like
/dev/hda8 /home reiserfs iocharset=utf8 0 0
Thats the first thing i tried to do when i faced this problem
and yes it doesn't work :D
utf8 is not only for arabic it is for many languages
how do i tell linux that mount my partitions with utf8 support and read it as arabuc letters not latin nor hebrew, etc ...
I think it is very hard problem, I'll wait for a while if i couldn't solve it, i think i have to give up and thank every one who tried to help me.

I found the shell you are talking about is it called acon
I have installed it, but still doesn't work
-
Is my problem that complicated?
I don't ask for arabic support for PClinuxOS
It support arabic very well except one thing "filenames"
Is reading file names in arabic is that big problem?UTF-8 capable bash shell.
I can install that UTF-8 capable bash shell if this is the problem but what is its rpm name?
-
I tried what u said but it didn't work
Please note that i have kde 3.3
also note that i can type arabic perfectly in any text editor.
I think the problem in the character encoding or something like that
-
I use mandrake 10.1 it support the arabic file names correctly if (and only if) i selected arabic as my language during setup.
Now I want to use another linux distribution called PClinuxOS it is based on mandrake
The problem that it has very simple setup with very a few question
It doesn't ask me about my language during the setup and therefore i don't get any support for arabic file names.
And My question is what kind of configuration should I modify in PClinuxOS to get the same arabic support as mandrake?
I though the key is in fstab file I tried to modify it to looks like the one I have in mandrake but still it doesn't work.
Please note that I have the problem only in file names, I can type & read arabic in any text Editor

How do i Write an additional parameter in an item of boot-menu?
I am having the same problem
and I could find a silly solution
found in my reply in this forum
http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php
But I find your solution is much easier.
Thanks alot.

Thanks alot fissy for your help
Now every thing works fine.
For who's having the same problem the solution was by forwarding the 2 ports 5800 and 5900 (for mandrake) and evey thing will work fine.
Note: when you want to test your remote connection with your real IP don't test it with some one on your network but test it with some one outside your network
fissy if I said something wrong please correct it :)

Yes completely sure
If you have some free time.
I can give you my Real IP & grant you access to my modem options and try together to make desktop sharing between my box and yours
And If We succeded we can type here the steps we did to solve my problem
My Yahoo ID is xman0802003
Thanks a lot for your help
Happy new year to every one

If your port is forwarded, than your router (if you have one) will forward requests on that port to the computer you are forwarding. Same with Windows.
The IP issue isn't exclusive to Linux, in Windows all 5 boxes are still under the same IP.
Let us know if you need help with port forwarding, and don't tell me Windows did this better - Because VNC is easy to get going and is a few hundred times more secure and generally better. MSN is very dangerous and not very safe, I'd rather walk across town to work on a box than use MSN for remote desktop control.
I never heard before about "port forwarding"
But I googled for it and I found this llink
http://www.portforward.com/alcatel/st510v4...tforwarding.htm
I tried to do this in my Speed touch modem and i attached with this message a screen shot to my SpeedTouch page.
Note that my local IP is 10.0.0.2
Note also that i do all of this under linux (don't let the title bar decive you B) )
Now I think I could make IP forwarding correctly but still nothing happen
I hope My problem can be solved since I hate windows and I don't want to go back to this dummy OS
Thanks a lot for your replies

Secondly, you can do this over the Internet, just make sure the port you are using for VNC isn't blocked by a firewall and is forwarded by any routers involved, etc.
ok I'm sure that my firewall is disabled
and all ports are forwarded
and I have VNC.
Now what should I do?
I go to another linux box and try to connect to my box
VNC will ask me for the IP
and since the real IP is shared between 5 computers
I don't think VNC will figure out which box (of the 5 boxes) I mean.
In MSN things was simple. meet some one on-line and invite him to take control over my machine
I never asked about my IP , port number, routers, etc .......

This is a copy Desktop Sharing (VNC) invitation E-Mail
You have been invited to a VNC session. If you have the KDE Remote Desktop Connection installed, just click on the link below. vnc://invitation:Zhcu-pBm@10.0.0.2:0 Otherwise you can use any VNC client with the following parameters: Host: 10.0.0.2:0 Password: Zhcu-pBm Alternatively you can click on the link below to start the VNC session within your web browser. http://10.0.0.2:5800/ For security reasons this invitation will expire at 04/12/30 20:29.
As you can see the IP is 10.0.0.2 which is my LAN IP
If I gave this email to any of my lan partners it will work fine for them
But if I gave it to you, it will fail (cause you are not part of my LAN network)
I want to let some one (who is not connected to me through LAN connection) To be able to access & Control my PC
I want to add information I don't know if it is usefull or not:
I have shared DSL connection.

In windows XP I could control another computer remotly from my computer through the internet
And it was very simple. 1)Open msn 2)click on "ask for remote assistance" link Thats all
And Now I'm Mandrake user and looking for similar thing for mandrake
I found some thing like that in mandrake called rfbdrake "Virtual Network Connection"
It worked properly (and easly) And I could see & control another desktoip running mandrake though LAN connection
That's fine but, what I want is to connect to another computer though the Internet not through LAN
And also (if possible) connect to windows machine as well as linux machine.
Thank you for reading my topic & I hope you have solution for my problem :D

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
IT WORKS IT WORKS
Thanks GOD
-----------------------------------------------------------
I could finally fix my HP printer to work under mandrake 10.1
I did many steps so I don't know which one of those steps fixed my printer
So you I will tell you all of them
1-I removed the following packages with rpmdrake
cups
cups-common
cups-drivers
foomatic-db
2-I removed the following packages
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-filters
NOTE:DON'T REMOVE THEM FROM RPMDRAKE
To reomve the last 2 packages do the following
open consol
type su
enter your root pasword
type rpm -e --nodeps packagename
3- I installed the oolder version of the previous packages (older versions found in mandrake 10 CD1)
4- I restarted my computer
5- Open Start-->System-->Configuration-->Configure your computer
6- from the hardware section open printers
7- remove your ho printer from there
8- shutdown your PC
9- Put your printer in another USB port
10- Turn on your PC and open
Start-->System-->Configuration-->Configure your computer again
goto printer section
It will tell you that he found a new printer called hp click ok
make sure that your printer is enabled
then print your first test page
Enjoy
Note:May be you don't need to make all of this steps to get your printer work
Maybe changing your USB port is enough
If any body has a better solution please post it here

Help I have the same problem
I even tried to copy ship100.img to my /etc/printer but still it doesn't work
I have a HP LaserJet 1000 printer. With Mandrakelinux 10.0 official there was no problem at all, but after 10.1 Official installation printer wont print any more. Installation finds the printer, installs it (say that I have to copy sihp1000.img to /etc/printers/, but linuxprinting.org again says that with latest driver foo2zjs it is not needed any more.) well I want to print test page from kde's printer manager but nothing happens, the job stays in the list of jobs?
Boot options
in Laptops and Portable Devices
Posted · Edited by XMan357
I have mandriva 10.2 installed on my laptop
My problem is the power saving feathure(s)
in windows XP I have the ability to disable the network card, Bluetooth, infra, ....
I want to do the same with linux but in diferent way
I want to pass some boot options that disable most of my devices (which I don't need while I am away)
(i.e nousb,nopcmcia,nonetwork,hwdetect=no)
The options above for PCLinuxOS http://www.pclinuxonline.com/pclos/html/cheat_codes.html
they call it cheat codes
and I wonder if mandrake also have cheat codes? and are they the same as PClinuxOS?
and if not where can I find list of this cheat codes for mandrake?
thanks
