Goes on without a hitch for me. /etc/env.d/02locales says Quote: | LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="ja_JP.UTF-8"
| I can't understand why you would have an error then. What is your language? _________________ Michael |

I'll try that again once I get back. It had to do with the SCIM lines most likely. |

Quote: | A suggestion: remove the xinitrc lines:
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
make a file called /etc/env.d/02locale
and put the following lines in it:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
then etc-update and restart X.

Hi back!
I'm sorry, I was terribly busy - reboot was not possible
Well, it did or didn't change anything (not sure, since I did a -u world).
It works half. I explain:
-I have scim working with qt apps, like firefox.
-It doesn't work with kde apps.
-But I got my deadkeys back
For KDE apps:
-I can choose the input method, but it doesn't affect the input...
-I have 3 IM choices in the "Select Input Method" contextual menu:
1. Simple composing input method
2. XIM
3. scim
I tried them all - none of them did work. |

Hey Sud, what's your exact .uim conf file and how do you switch between raw input and Japanese input using straight uim? I wanted to give straight uim a try since I don't really use the scim frontend at all... |

My ~/.uim - verbatim -
Code: | (define default-im-name 'anthy)
|
The default way to switch is using [shift]+[space], which can occasionally be activated without knowing it -esp. for a sloppy typist like myself. There is a way to change this, adding a line in your ~/.uim, but I can't recall it at the moment.

Hmmmm... thanks for the info. I thought that it was just a joke or something when you wrote down the ~/.uim file contents because it seemed like an (insert your config here) type directive . |

fluxbox takes a good 15 seconds to start now that i've followed this guide...why is that?
Also, I installed the Arial Unicode MS font but I'm having a hard time letting Firefox use it. How do I do this? _________________ Animula vagula blandula,

I appreciate the sediment and thought Sud, but everything works nicely without Arial, so I'll stay away from as many things associated with Microsoft in Linux >_>... At least that seems to increase my stability =\... *curses some Wine programs* |

1. Because Fluxbox is now trying to patch together a full unicode font, which you default font probably is not (as I understand it). You could try adding x11-wm/fluxbox -nls to your /etc/portage/packages.use, and recompile. That might stop it, but I'm not sure.
2. See Preferences >> General >> Fonts & colors >> Fonts for: Japanese.
yaneurabeya: I respectfully disagree that everything Microsoft... wait? Wine? Traitor!

Lol. It's not by choice but for necessity *sighs for the lack of decent electrical engineering Linux based programs*.

|
|
Thanks for writing such a useful howto - I am having one quite serious problem though, after having followed it: I cannot log into KDE as any user other than root. Once logged in as root, everything works fine (typing in kana/kanji etc), but when I try to log in to KDE as a mortal user, it stalls at the 2nd of the 7 stages (initializing system), and dropping into a console to look at 'top' shows that 'xrdb' is using 99.9% of processor and seems to be stuck. Has anyone any suggestions? I'd be very grateful for any help.
update: etc-update fixed this, but I'll leave it here in case anyone else is as silly as me...

Okay:
I have had im-ja working as described in the other thread for nearly a year, but I would like to give this method a try.
I went through the procedure outlined. When I open up gedit, I can select Japanese input, but nothing but english characters come out -- no hiragana or katakana. Luckily, I can still switch back to im-ja by changing GTK_IM_MODULE.
I am also confused in general between all these packages! Could someone lay it out for me? What do I need? Right now, I have the following installed:
canna
kinput2
freewnn
anthy
uim
scim
scim-uim
skim
skk
Surely with all these packages, I can make something work. But what are the absolute essentials?
Thanks.
EDIT: Well, I think I figured part of it out -- I was still attempting to change using im-ja. But how do I prevent im-ja from running other than killing the process? And where is the tray icon for scim? |

mholtz,
You should only need anthy and scim-uim. scim will be emerged along with scim-uim. Other than that your list is somewhat redundant and some programs are unnecessary. Now, that's for having a scim window open for configuring. If you only want an input manager and need to switch between Japanese and English say without a graphical input window, then use uim-anthy (?). I'm trying to remember since my system with Japanese support took a nosedive.
But yeah... just add the scim/uim-anthy invocation to your .xprofile or .xinitrc file and you should be good. And eliminate all refs to im-ja. It's unneeded.
Note: Turning on the uim applet is simple. Just do shift-space. Unlike im-ja it doesn't have an 'input in progress' character, so you won't know till you start typing characters if uim is on or not. |

Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 9:49 pm Post subject: slow loading time for some applications |
|
|
Hi,
I did exactly what the howto says. Everything works as expected. However, I am now experiencing very slow load time for a lot of applications: firefox, thunderbird, etc. Gaim loads fast, but freezes for ~15 seconds when I try to open the first chat window.
Another thing that I noticed is that when I launch gaim from a command line, scim doesn't get loaded immediately. It only gets loaded when I first open a chat window, or when I shut down gaim.
Does anyone have a clue what's going on here? I'm using both KDE and icewm.
thanks in advance,
jz |

did you try to re-emerge all scim-* package after you upgrade scim? _________________ BLOG: http://liucougar.scim-im.org |

Note: on some system setups SCIM causes more trouble than it's worth, so if you just want Japanese input, consider using straight UIM. |

Sorry . It's just that SCIM unfortunately has a tendency to crash some GTK programs like vmware, for example. If you can find the bugs and fix them it would be very appreciated by many. |

liuspider: well, in a way yaneurabeya's suggestion was productive since it was not meant as an offense.
This is starting to get annoying all GTK+ apps are taking a while to load and fluxbox, as mentioned above, takes forever to open...I'm considering to get rid of these 'features'. Sometimes I wonder why MS is able to make things Just Work (TM) _________________ Animula vagula blandula,

Maybe it's because they force everyone to basically use a set interface? That's just the Microsoft/Apple way ... |
