Well, I dond't know how these bugs work, but samba started to work for me, maybe after an update, I'm not sure why... anyway, konsole and service manager are both saying that it runs! That's ok, but when I wanted to make an  ethernet connection to an XP machine, it dind't work. I set the workgroup name the same on both computers, I assigned IP addresses to both, both said they was connected to the network, yet they failed to detect each other completely. I thought it is possible to connect two computers via a simple ethernet connection, you know, just with a so called crossover cable, but, is it? And, how can I do that if it is?

WOW, sounds like a solution, but I cannot try it now, as I do not have direct internet acces for my pardus machine, but hopefully I will have it in 3-4 days... thank you for your investigation, you're a genius, lol!

it actually says:
samba   |        |    yes    | SMB Network Sharing
 

Still not working. I also checked in PiSi, and it says all five elements are installed. I realized that even though they were supposedly reinstalled, the setting I made were not re-set, they remined unchanged. the ibus icon is on the taskbar, the japanese-anthy input medhod is added to the input method list, it's just that it can't be switched on. Not even in konsole opened kwrite...

Ok, first I installed gyan000's packages, then I installed the first version you (a.palius) uploaded at pardususer.de. It then worked with kwrite opened from konsole. Then I updated - and, strangely, after that it didn't work from konsole either.. it says no input window, and do not reacts to ctrl+space... nor any combination. I then tried a reinstall - but it turned out that it does not really made a clean install, since the settings remained unchanged even after that operaton. And, of course, it still didn't work...

it terminal it says samba is on, in system settings service manager says its off... I will se if it's working...

Um, I hate to troll you guys with this, but it still doesn't work for me. Maybe its because of the old package I installed? In fact, even after the update, I only have a 51ibus.sh file in Xsession.d directory, no ibus.sh. 51ibus.sh file however, contains the three lines described above. still, it has no effect...

Ok, so I wanted to make a PC to PC LAN connection between a Pardus 2011 and a Win XP machine, but the Samba service required for that operation simply refuses to start - without any error messages.

what could be the problem?

thanks

Wow, it works this way, though I was hoping to get a solution which would enable me writing in firefox directly... but this is far better than nothing, so thanks!

I can now add japanese language, but still, when I try to switch usig ctrl+space, nothing happens. When I click on Ibus icon at taskbar, it says "no input window" ...

Helpful, thanx

Could someone direct me to some king of guide about how to set up ad-hoc (PC to PC) LAN connections between pardus2011&winXP? Where can I set computer name and workgroup name on Pardus, to begin with?

thank you very much!

Um, the ibus icon now appears, only that I can't add any input method... I'm sure I installed the ibus-anthy package, but still cannot add it to input method list! 

Um, ok, I get it  Thanks!

adding the comak repo - http://comak32.comu.edu.tr/comak/pisi-index.xml.xz - worked just fine, thanks!
