You could also try updating again; maybe someone else had the same problem and they fixed it already...maybe :P.

There's an update program in the menu. If you can't find it open the terminal (control + T ). Then type in the following:

sudo apt-get update

This will check for any updates, and then type the following to install them.

sudo apt-get upgrade

What exactly did you upgrade? If the kernel was upgraded did you try booting with the old kernel?

You can also download the live cd from Ubuntu, and see if everything works with that.

I'm by no means an expert, but I have fooled around with Ubuntu. Currently I'm running Fedora 17 though. Without more details I don't know what to tell you.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Strange characters in Chinese software

Yeah, I checked today and I see it does say system locale. Which system locale did you set? Chinese has various encodings that aren't compatible. I've never used Pipi player, guess when I have time I can look at it.

Another thing is are you sure it's not a compatiblity issue with Windows XP software and Windows 7? Still lots of software in China targeted only for Windows XP unfortunately... Try changing the compatibility mode to XP and see what happens. If your computer has enough ram you could install the Chinese version of XP in vm player or virtual box...

Usually if ??? marks show up then it means the font being used doesn't support those characters in Chinese.

The weird text means the wrong character encoding is being used. In language support there should be a setting for non-unicode programs. I'm currently using the Chinese version of windows 7 so I'm not sure what it's called in English.

I believe it's the same place you changed the system locale, but on the last tab. Mine is called 管理, on the bottom half you can change the default encoding used for non-unicode programs. Change it to Simplified Chinese(maybe called GB18030, or something like that). reboot and see what happens.

If the above doesn't make sense it's because I need to sleep. I'll double check on an English version of windows tomorrow.

Also look at the roads that were just recently redone. In the north they aren't even a year old and the top layer is rapidly decaying. When the holes get big enough to do serious damage to small cars they just put a traffic cone in it....

If it's banned for industrial use doesn't that mean there are some pretty nasty heavy metals in the water? Why would they allow shrimp to be fished in the past? Do they want people to get cancer or something?

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.

Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.

Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.

The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.

Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.

Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.

Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
