Inputting Chinese Characters in CentOS?

+2 votes
471 views

I am running Centos 6.6 US version and occasionally need to write emails and documents in Chinese using simplified characters. I have installed the ibus input system but do not find it very efficient having used the Google Pinyin keyboard on my Android phones and tablet.

Which input system is recommended for writing Simplified Chinese?

Reversal is also same. It is happening with all special characters on keyboard. Help me out for this.

How to set hostname and domain name in CentOS 7?

We can permanently set hostname using hostnamectl set-hostname. How can we permanently set domain name in CentOS 7?
I found an article (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/239920/how-to-set-the-fully-qualified-hostname-on-centos-7-0 ) that recommended setting FQDN using hostnamectl. Is that the right way to set hostname and domainname at the same time using hostnamectl set-hostname command?

Running hostnamectl set-hostname will set the hostname in /etc/hostname but it doesn't change /etc/hosts. What's the proper way of adding hostname and FQDN to /etc/hosts in CentOS 7?

How best to install path.py package in Python 3.4 environment on Centos 5?

I want to install path.py in my Python 3.4 environment on a Centos 5 box. My /usr/local/bin/ contains: 

easy_install-3.4 
python3.4  
etc.

We are behind a proxy server and I tried this: 

# /usr/local/bin/easy_install-3.4 path.py 

Searching for path.py 
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/path.py/ 
Download error on https://pypi.python.org/simple/path.py/: hostname '172.29.68.1  
' doesn't match either of 'www.python.org', 'python.org', 'pypi.python.org',  
'docs.python.org', 'testpypi.python.org', 'bugs.python.org', 'wiki.python.org',  
'hg.python.org', 'mail.python.org', 'packaging.python.org', 'pythonhosted.org',  
'www.pythonhosted.org', 'test.pythonhosted.org', 'us.pycon.org', 'id.python.org' --  
Some packages may not be found!

Couldn't find index page for 'path.py' (maybe misspelled?), Am I best to use pip or easy_install? also if easy_install, how can I fix the above error?

CentOS 6.5 equivalents in CentOS 7

I tried to install CentOS 7 on a new system. It works.

However, I'm noticing small things:
1. system-config-network-tui is not installed and yum cannot find it. I realized for this -- nmtui
2. What about firewall? I can't seem to understand the replacement from system-config-firewall-tui

Recommended way of handling iptables firewall in CentOS?

I'm planning to use CentOS 6.x on a handful of LAN servers. So far I've been using Slackware64 14.0 and 14.1 for the job.

I wonder what's the orthodox/recommended way of configuring and iptables firewall with CentOS. I understand there's the system-config-securitylevel-tui NCurses interface which allows defining a basic set of rules. But what about the handful of more advanced rules I have to configure?

Here's an example of an /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script that I might use with Slackware. It contains mostly basic rules, and a couple of more advanced rules, one to limit SSH access, the other one to redirect HTTP traffic to Squid.

If I want to copy my actual firewall configuration to CentOS, what would be the recommended way? I started from a bare bones minimal CentOS 6.5 installation, so system-config-securitylevel-tui is not even installed.
Is it a good idea to try to configure /etc/sysconfig/iptables by hand? What do you suggest?
