How can I have a Terminal with Multi language Support?

jokar.mohsen · 11-22-2014, 12:21 PM

Hello all.
I want to have a Terminal with multi language support(Persian). I know that "Mlterm" is a good tool but I can't install it on my CentOS 6.5 x64

, It need some dependencies and when I use "yum localinstall mlterm.XXX" it can't resolve the dependencies. Any idea?

Cheers.

Not a CentOS user, but I use rxvt-unicode and love it. Under Slackware it has no special dependencies, YMMV.

Check your OS's package repos, it is probably available.

Of course, you will also need to set your locale, and keymap for keyboard support.

Again, as with most of your threads, you omit ANY details that would let anyone help you. All you say is "can't install it", and "can't resolve the dependencies"....yet you don't say WHY you can't install it, or WHAT dependencies it can't resolve.

Did you try building from source? Did you try just changing the encoding/character set on any of the OTHER terminal programs that are available? You can easily change it on konsole and yakuake, and probably most others.

Joking. Why I must copy and paste all dependencies here !!!. You can see it yourself by testing. As I said I use CentOS 6.5 x64 and "Mlterm" not exist in main repository. I guess it is so clear and Please don't send bullshit comments.

I installed it but how can I use it?

Because YOU said they failed, and YOU didn't provide details, as is typical. AGAIN, as has been told to you many, MANY times...unless you provide DETAILS and answer QUESTION, you can't get help.

No, I'm not going to install an old version of CentOS just to try to help you solve a problem you won't provide details to.

....and we're back to "You need to provide details". You STILL didn't say where you got it, what version it is, or what dependencies are missing.

Again, you provide no details, and STILL don't, yet expect people to help you. Reporting this thread to moderators.

Since you still don't provide details, despite being asked to in MANY threads for SEVERAL YEARS now, we can't tell you. You STILL don't say how you installed it, where you got it from, or what you've done. But, again, did you try just reading the instructions???? They came with the source code, and the man page ALSO tells you how to run it, as does their webpage on Sourceforge.

I attached the file and you can see it.It it dependencies that needed. I used "--skip-broken" too but not problem solved.

...and you STILL ARE NOT ANSWERING QUESTIONS OR ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD. AGAIN:

Did you read (and UNDERSTAND) what that file told you???
You fail to post the command that you ran to generate that text file
You STILL don't say whether you bothered to try installing this from source, which is VERY easily done
You STILL don't acknowledge that you can run SEVERAL other terminal emulators, and change the character sets in any of them, or if you tried that

Since you want to be snotty about things in your last post, and since you can't seem to be bothered reading/following/answering the advice you've been given, there is NOTHING we can do to help you. We aren't going to log in to your system and solve your problems for you, and if you're not going to even TRY to follow advice given, there's nothing we can do.

Get your systems administrator to help you.

wow, that must be one of the best posts for a long time.
you, jokar mohsen, are currently Number 1 on my linux forum entertainment list!
however, i don't see why you even bother. you will never get any help with this kind of attitude.

You may have your own way of dealing with things but you have absolutely no reason to post something like that.
Please do not do that again.

Well, let's collate what's posted so far:

0) First of all it appears from the output (thanks) there's about 170+ system updates. Please run those separately first.

1)

Code:

Examining mlterm-3.2.2-1.1.i686.rpm: mlterm-3.2.2-1.1.i686
Marking mlterm-3.2.2-1.1.i686.rpm to be installed
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.prometeus.net
 * epel: ftp.cuhk.edu.hk
 * extras: centos.fastbull.org
 * updates: centos.fis.uniroma2.it
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package mlterm.i686 0:3.2.2-1.1 will be installed

It appears you're trying to install a package not built for your distribution (el6) and architecture (x86_64). Please find the corresponding package if you want mlterm.

2) Tb0ne may be a nuisance to some but at times he does manage to hide usable nfo in his rants: indeed you can use any other terminal emulator application and change charsets. Maybe look into that first.

It is my problem and as I said, Mlterm is not available for my current CentOS. I just want to write Persian in terminal correctly and I don't know other emulator that can doing it. Can you introduce me? My big problem is that I receive logs from Windows server via Syslog and my Direcotry on Windows server is Persian and current terminal show it "?". How can I solve it?

As said by myself and unSpawn, you can use pretty much ANY terminal emulator. Can't be more plain than that...so pick one. Using KDE? Then run konsole and select the character set. Gnome? Do the same for Gnome terminal. Yakuake? Edit the profile to use whatever you'd like. How you do this depends on what terminal emulator you choose to run.

You could have saved time by stating that problem in your first post. For example this post explains some methods and with Syslog-NG one possible solution could look like this:

Code:

source src_win {
        udp(
                ip("192.168.1.1")
                port(514)
                encoding("ISO-8859"));
};

You could try that, and if that doesn't work for you, research the other methods mentioned in that thread.
