@yuyichao - Thanks. It looks like fcitx4 is more promising than ibus. I'd like
to give it a try sometime, thus I do not have to use downgraded
ibus, ibus-table, and kdeplasma-addons-applets-kimpanel...
Scim was not active for a few years, but it has just released a new version a few weeks/months ago, so I'm not sure about the future of scim. But I will recommend at least giving fcitx4 a try. It is a imf now (different from fcitx3). It's very light weight (if that's what you like). It supports almost all input methods in lots of different languages that other imf's supports (including __ALL__ Chinese ones). It has lots of interesting features that are useful even for non-CJK users (like spell hint). It is very active and any feedbacks and suggestions are welcome. Also, almost all useful fcitx packages are in [community] now so you don't need to compile them anymore (thanks to felix, the new TU).
]]>I have encountered the same problem. After upgrading qt (4.8.3-5 -> 4.8.3-6), I cannot use ibus with qt apps any more.
Hi ffjia,
You could tried:
- Move environment to .bashrc, .xprofile (or /etc/profile if your previous environment vars in .bashrc or .xprofile).
- Degrade qt.
- export LANG var.
- Remove the qt apps and try to reinstall it.
If it could resolved your problems, please let me know.
Tks.
]]>I have tried to install ibus (with ibus-qt and ibus-unikey) on my Arch (64 bit with XFCE as DW), I added the environment variables to /etc/profile
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT4_IM_MODULE=ibus
And change the default xim in qtconfig to ibus, but I still fail to use ibus with libreoffice, Skype and other qt apps.
[Update]
I have tried move env vars to .xprofile, then .bashrc, remove then install Libreoffice and Skype. After that, ibus works well with Libre.
Later, I have change environment LANG=en_US.utf8 (export LANG=en_US.utf8), and I could use ibus in Skype, but some character is missing (I type "ế", then "ế" character is disappear), don't know why.
Now, I switch to use scim, and with proper enviroment varialables (GTK, QT IM MODULE and LANG), scim works perfectly, but if anyone can resolve this troubleshoot, please let me know. Tks.
