how about I run Mdk 10 tonight Australian-time at home, and recreate your scenario...I'll try and get Korean happening one way or another! sorry about the wait, I don't have Linux at work, so I can't test it out...

cheers,

:D :D :D Thank you so much for helping me! ^^

any luck?

SCIM chinese input works selectively (Mandrake 10)
 

Hi,

I started up Mandrake 10 in my default Australian English KDE environment (which is irrelevant), opened a Konsole terminal window, and typed :

$ export LANG=ko_KR
$ export LC_ALL=ko_KR
$ export LC_CTYPE=ko_KR
$ export XMODIFIERS=@im=ami

and then

$ ami & oowriter

the ami config window opened (you don't have to do anything in that though), and then the Open Office window, then I pressed SHIFT + SPACE (sorry, I said CTRL + SPACE before, that works on most of the Chinese input apps) and a little input window that appears in the text editing area of oowriter changes from [EN] to [KO].

When I enter text I get Korean, no problem at all.

Try again following the above steps, and let's see how that goes...

p.s. we've really gone off on a tangent from the original post, we should have started a new thread...but Chinese & Korean etc usually have similar issues so I guess it's ok...

that did it, thanks so much!

Yeah the asian countries usualy do share the same problems with inputing characters~(I hope that doesnt come out wrong)

i screwed up the hot key set :

Kor-Eng. mode Toggle has been erased some how
Conversion to Hanja has also been erased some how
Symbol Input is still <Key>F3
and Clear Buffer is still Ctrl <Key>Return

Can you tell me what settings you have? =)

reloaded M10. In uber shape. GO GO Linux. Im a newb and so far everything is working and configured perfect! Now to developing!

Hi,

This tests my memory (I'm at work/no Linux here)...

Firstly I think these settings can be set to whatever suits you, but the defaults are :-

KOR/ENG toggle : SHIFT + SPACE
Hanja Conversion : F9

cheers,

Hmm...Do you know how to have those 4 scripts load on startup so I dont have to type them everytime I start Linux?:scratch:

just add the 4 scripts on to the end of your user's ~/.bashrc file. log out/ log in again and you're away! For me, being an English speaker (if Australian can be called English!?!) I would set up a separate user account with these Korean settings, and just log into that when required from a terminal window like Konsole...

jdw

ROFL. That worked like a charm....but.....Now everything is in Korean...~ HELP! lol

yeah, but it's the trying to solve problems that's ½ the fun***! if everything's in Korean, maybe remove/comment out the "LC_ALL=ko_KR" line and see what that does. as long as your LC_CTYPE and LANG variables are Korean, you should be able to type in Korean with ami...

jdw

*** in the broadest sense of the word "fun", it can be bloody frustrating at times...

like a charm. tooshay my friend tooshay (sp i know...im lazy)

fcitx works with firefox and OOs
 

fcitx works with firefox and OOs

for firefox and thunderbird, I need to add a few lines at the beginning of the startup script (firefox or thunderbird) like the following:

## lines I added
XMODIFIERS="@im=fcitx"
export XMODIFIERS
export LC_ALL=zh_CN
export LANG=zh_CN
## end of lines I added

moz_pis_startstop_scripts()
{
...


Also, in order to show all the chinese chars correctly without having converted into unicodes, I have to set the default encoded of firefox to gb2312 (edit->preferences->languages->default encoding). Also, the chinese fonts may be too small in firefox by default, I have to set the minimum size to 16 in order to view them confortably (the setting is in edit->preferences->fonts and colors->minimum size. Now everything works perfectly.
