[SOLVED] my fcitx doesn't work

oldz · 2017-02-16 08:10:30

I have just installed arch for a week, and there is some problems of fcitx in my arch.

The fcitx can start with system and I can use the fcitx-configtool，but only the first input method changed the keyboard layout. Nothing works. The Virtual Keyboard can be seen but doesn't work, too.
So I can't use Chinese input method, that's bad.
#############################################################################################################
this is my ~/.xprofile(It's new):

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

#############################################################################################################
I have added these to my /etc/environment:

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx

My Input Method has Pinyin and Keyboard-APL keyboard sysbols, but the

The only thing which I need is gtk.

Help!

Today my friend told me he had the same problem. He found there are no gtk2, gtk3 and fcitx-gtk2 so he decided to install these. Fortunately, he has solved it successfully.
This is the way what he used to solve this problem and now I have solved it too.

pacman -S gtk2
pacman -S gtk3
pacman -S fcitx-gtk2

Thanks for you who thinks for me!

If you are not using gtk2 based applications, there is no point in installing fcitx-gtk2.
For which applications you are using fcitx? Depending on with which you want to use fcitx, you can select proper module to install. See here file:///usr/share/doc/arch-wiki/html/en/Fcitx.html#Input_method_module for available modules.
