Hi guys, i am having quite a lot of problems since i switched to archlinux from ubuntu. Now I understood how ubuntu was easy (especially becouse everything was done automatically).
Now here I am, happy to be an ArchLinux user! I solved almost all my problems, the sistem is stable. There is one thing that I need: to write in Japanese.
I followed the guide on the offical UIM web site, I checked the previous discussions on this forum, but still I cannot write.
I installed all package required:
SCIM, SCIM-anthy, Anthy, UIM
As I did not have .xinitrc i created one and i putted inside everything as the UIM website said.
exec gnome-session
GTK_IM_MODULE=uim ; export GTK_IM_MODULE
QT_IM_MODULE=uim ; export QT_IM_MODULE
uim-xim &
XMODIFIERS=@im=uim ; export XMODIFIERS
GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=~/.immodules
export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE
export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim
export UIM_CANDWIN_PROG=uim-candwin-gtk
export UIM_CANDWIN_PROG=uim-candwin-qt
I went on the properties file with
$ uim-pref-gtk
And I choose Anthy as Imput exaclty as they said.
Nothing works. I have on the bar the UIM icon but when i click nothing comes out (only a 1px black squared). Why?
I would really appreciate if you can solve this problem becouse I need to write Japanese to work. So no japanese = no archlinux. I would like to try this interesting distribution a bit more as it seems very fast and easy to configure!
Thank you very much

Try using scim.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Scim
Put
export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
scim -d
into your ~/.xinitrc or into /etc/profile.
Then it should work.

exec gnome-session GTK_IM_MODULE=uim ; export GTK_IM_MODULE QT_IM_MODULE=uim ; export QT_IM_MODULE uim-xim & XMODIFIERS=@im=uim ; export XMODIFIERS GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE=~/.immodules export GTK_IM_MODULE_FILE export XMODIFIERS=@im=uim export UIM_CANDWIN_PROG=uim-candwin-gtk export UIM_CANDWIN_PROG=uim-candwin-qt
exec gnome-session
This should be at the end of .xinitrc.

I did what you suggested but nothing change. Same results with scim and uim.
The applet start, but when i click to change the languages nothing happens, and if i go to check to change language manually (one click on the icon) usually a droplist with the language choices appears but here nothing happens.
Maybe I need to install some language package? (in ubuntu is sufficent to install the language package + complex caracter support maybe here is to do something similar)
I really need to solve this problem, if you know something please tell me thank you!
See ya...

UPDATE
やった!
I erased everything and I reintalled only scim following the guide you proposed me. Now it works, unfortunately I cannot type in japanese in Skype. This is the reason why i wanted to install UIM. But is better than nothing! at least now i can write!
If somebody knows how to write in japanese using scim would be amazing....
Thank you very much for your help!

I do not use scim now, so I'm not sure if this helps: put the variables in /etc/profile rather than ~/.xinitrc. I don't know why but settings in the home folder doesn't seem to be picked up by QT apps. I use "ibus" for Chinese and Japanese, and I have to use QT_IM_MODULE=ibus as a prefix to get ibus to work with Opera. So maybe it's the same case with skype?
