b’z – イチブトゼンブ

「アナタは私のほんのイチブしか知らない」
勝ち誇るように笑われても　それほどイヤじゃないよ
生まれてくる前　聞いたようなその深い声
それだけで人生のオカズになれるくらいです

すべて知るのは到底無理なのに
僕らはどうして
あくまでなんでも征服したがる
カンペキを追い求め
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに

もしそれが君のほんのイチブだとしても
何よりも確実にはっきり好きなところなんだ
困った時　少しまゆげを曲げてみせたり
抱きよせるとホッとするような柔らかさだったり

すべて掴んだつもりになれば
また傷つくだろう
ほんとに要るのは有無を言わせない
圧倒的な手ざわり
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに

君にしかわからないこと　僕だけが見えていること
どれもホントのこと

すべて何かのイチブってことに
僕らは気づかない
愛しい理由を見つけたのなら
もう失わないで
愛しぬけるポイントがひとつありゃいいのに
それだけでいいのに

iphone tethering linux

Iphone

So it was the news of the day: Someone managed to activate tethering on an AT&T iPhone 3G by means of a “carrier support file”, a.k.a. “ipcc”. Here in Japan, the story was a bit more tricky : Softbank declared that they would not support tethering on their network and had no plans to do so in the future either.

Nice! So, with those brand new Macbook Pro without any pc express card slot, how are we supposed to use Softbank’s data cards? This bothered me to no end thus I went on a search for a Softbank carrier support file that I could modify somehow. I stumbled onto this very interesting post on a Japanese blog that talked about the same thing, but with a beta version of the iPhone OS 3.0.

OK, well, doesn’t hurt to try with the official release, right?

Now I need to get my hands on that damn file. Turns out, it was right on my hard drive at work since August 2008. So I went to work and modified the file (which incidentally is just a bundle in a zip archive with a special extension) and tried to update my iPhone with it. The steps are simple :

1. for Mac OSX in the Terminal, execute defaults write com.apple.iTunes carrier-testing -bool TRUE
   forwindows, execute C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe /setPrefInt carrier-testing 1 in a DOS window
   
2. plug your iPhone to your computer via the USB cable
3. in iTunes, display the summary page of your iPhone
4. while pressing the “alt” (option) key, click on the “check for update” button
5. you will be presented with a finder window. Locate the Softbank_jp.ipcc file, select it
6. iTunes will now update your iPhone with the modified carrier settings
7. Once finished, unplug the iPhone, go see into Settings>General>Network, and voilà!

Oh, before I forget, if Apple or Softbank issues an update through iTunes, wait a bit before updating… you never know…

For Windows just turn on tethering and connect your Iphone using USB cable or bluetooth, and enjoy the tethering.

Linux

Use your bluetooth only to enjoy tethering using Iphone

Use “blueman” application and configure using “Network Manager”

To install blueman

# apt-get install blueman bluez bluez-compat

Using blueman, search, add, bond to interface, trust and activate network access point. Then “bnep0″ interface will come out

Don’t forget to connect to device from Iphone

Use dhclient to get IP address from Iphone

Enjoy tethering

ps: for ubuntu user use blueman package and upgrade bluez package from this site:

• deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/blueman/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
• add key using command :

$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 951DC1E2

Japanese Input (Debian style)

Basic

Change the locales in console mode by typing this commnad :

# dpkg-reconfigure locales

and select several locales for your machine, mine are

• en_US.UTF-8
• ja_JP.EUC-JP
• ja_JP.UTF-8

And for default I picked “en_US.UTF-8“

Console

If you using Debian GNU/Linux in console mode type this command :

# dpkg-reconfigure console-data

And then “Select keymap from arch list” –>  “qwerty” –> “japanese” –> “Standard”

Then linux will install “jp106” keyboard type

X Windows (GNOME)

Keyboard layout

For changing the keyboard layout using GNOME, click on :

• System –> Preferences –> Keyboard
• On “Keyboard Preferences” select “Layouts” tab and click “+Add…” and select “Japan” layout.
• Test your keyboard layout

Japanese Fonts

We need to install japanese fonts, so do this command :

# apt-get install ttf-kochi-gothic ttf-kochi-mincho xfonts-intl-japanese

Input Method (SCIM)

To change from English <-> Japanese input, we need SCIM, and to change the layout use “CTRL+SPACE”, to install SCIM do this command :

# apt-get install uim anthy scim-gtk2-immodule scim-uim scim-tables-ja uim-anthy scim-anthy

After installing all applications that we need, we want to run scim when we login to Gnome X Window,  so create “.xsession” file on your home directory and fill it with this :

export XMODIFIERS=”@im=SCIM”
export GTK_IM_MODULE=”scim”
export XIM_PROGRAM=”scim -d”
export QT_IM_MODULE=”scim”
gnome-session

After that make it executable by doing this command :

$ chmod +x .xsession

And we configure the scim using your own user account, do this by typing command :

$ scim-setup

To reload SCIM application, right click on the SCIM tray and select “exit”, and run the command from terminal :

$ scim -d

Thats it, I hope this tutorial will work for you.

Thank you
