Normally, I would install Scim and Anthy for Japanese input method on Debian. Recently, I found an easier way to achieve the same thing, which is to use IBus instead of Scim. Install ibus: sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-anthy ibus-gtk From the menu, System -> Preferences -> IBus Preference. IBus Preference should detects that you have run IBus daemon yet, click “Yes” to run it. You’ll be asked to edit your ~/.bashrc and add the following 3 lines: export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus</pre> Click on “Input Method” tab, if you don’t see “Japanese – Anthy” listed under the Input Method list, select “Japanese -> Anthy” from the “Select an input method” drop down list, then click Add. You might want to restart X (logout and log back in) Open a text editor, and hit Ctrl + Space to toggle the Japanese input method Reference: Japanese Input with Karmic?

I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my desktop. When I tried to play some mp3 files with Amarok 2.2.0, it didn’t make any sound though it played ogg without a problem. Thanks to this post, mp3 play back can be enabled by installing libxine1-ffmpeg. $ sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg Credit: How to Play mp3 files with amarok in Ubuntu Linux 9.04
