[Solved]fcitx: only chinese keyboard with lxde, all keyboards with KDE

Soukyuu · 2014-05-02 12:19:54

I installed fcitx + mozc, as well as the kcm version of the config tool on one machine (x64_86) with KDE, and the gtk3 version of the config tool for the machine (i686) with an LXDE installation.

On the KDE machine, I can setup mozc+jp keyboard+de keyboards, as well as the default keyboard to use.
On the LXDE machine, I can setup mozc and the default keyboard to use, but the list of other keyboard only shows a couple of chinese (built-in?) inputs. Yes, I have unticked "only show current language". With it ticked, the list is empty, so not even Japanese nor German shows up in the list. I have also tried the unsupported gtk2 version of the control program, and it also only shows Chinese. There is an additional Japanese group, but it is empty. No other languages show up.

I followed the same set of instructions on both machines, so what is it missing now.
For the record, the corresponding locales are generated and ibus and uim did list the German and the Japanese keyboards on both machines properly.

I have now tried ibus, uim AND fcitx, and none of them seems to work properly.

I seem to have solved it. Running

fcitx-diagnose

told me that libicuuc.53.so was not found and that it couldn't load the fcitx-keyboard plugin.
Tracking back, it seems that pacman somehow didn't install the icu dependency on my lxde machine. I don't know why, especially since icu is listed as dependency on the i686 package according to the packages page.
