Title: Why Can't I Put Files In Japanese On My Zaurus?
Post by: xamindar on May 07, 2006, 07:06:56 pm

I'm trying to copy some Japanese music that have filenames that are only in japanese over to my Zaurus but nautilus gives me errors like this:

Code: [Select]

Error "Invalid parameters" while copying "/home/xami... ?????.mp3".
And if I try to do it from the command line I get:

Code: [Select]

cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/15 Always - ????.mp3': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/26 ???????? - SEAMO.mp3': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/11-1 ??????brand new beat? - BoA.mp3': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/??showtime???.txt': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/05 ?????? - ???.mp3': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/17 ???? - ??????.mp3': Invalid argument
cp: cannot create regular file `/media/usbdisk/Documents/Music_Files/new/Top 30/22-1 Rising Sun - ????.mp3': Invalid argument
What gives?  I would have thought that it would support japanese filenames sense it came from Japan.  If I rename the files it will copy them over.  But that is not practical.

Any ideas?

How do I remount it with utf8?  
I tried the following but it didn't work and the man page seems to be of no help.

mount -o remount utf8 /media/disk-1
or
mount -o remount iocharset=utf8 /media/disk-1

OK, I got it working.  It just doesnt work when certain characters are in the filename such as ":" or "~".  But, I still have a problem.  While the japanese filenames look fine on my linux system they look all gobboldygook on the zaurus.  Does it now use utf8?  Or does it use something different?  

Dang, I might try going back to the original Japanese Sharp rom and see if it works, but I hope there is another way.  Locale maybe?
