SCIM doesn't work


I have installed scim using command, apt-get install scim scim-tables-zh. and then i create and modify /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95input
Code:
/usr/bin/scim -d
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim"
export XIM_PROGRAM="scim -d"
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim"
The SCIM was loaded each starting KDE. But I can't press Ctrl+Space to type chinese. What's matter?(I didn't modify SCIM setting)

yup, mine is english system too.

i try to make my explanation simple.

apt-get install ttf-arphic-* kde-i18n-zhcn kde-i18n-zhtw
u can oso install the firefly fonts from taiwan if u wish.

apt-get install scim scim-chinese scim-gtk2-immodule

now we need to install locales, so run command "dpkg-reconfigure locales"

select the chinese locales u want but at the next screen, choose en_US.utf8 as default.

(i did not modify /etc/X11/Xsession.d/95input as u did.)

put this in .bashrc
export LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.gb2312"

if possible, please install the simsun and simhei fonts too.
i believe simsun is 简体 and simhei is 繁体。You haf to use defoma for this, but tats a long and different story. scim should now work in some programs but not all.

Hi,

Setting QT_IM_MODULE=scim has no help in fact, since scim does not provide a qt_im_module at all. Another related project, skim, may be responsible for this target.

Anyway, the problem that scim cannot be actived in KDE may be solved as follow:

Run qtconfig, to verify the Input Method of QT application is not On The Spot. Instead, Over the spot may be the correct choice.

Setting XIM_PROGRAM=scim in your 95input configuration file if needed.

Hope these are useful :-)

I am using Fedora, not Debian, but SCIM works fine with KDE. What I did was add the following lines to my own X script which starts up with X Window.
Code:
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8
export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
/usr/bin/scim -d
(I know, it's Japanese, but I'd imagine the basics are the same.)

I also use the English system. I believe you need to set the two environment variables BEFORE you execute "scim -d".

I also installed scim-qtimm following liucougar's advice, but it does not have any effect for me. What is it supposed to do?
