Can't type in foreign characters after scim-bridge removal
Hi folks,
So after scim-bridge was removed from -current, I wasn't able to type in foreign characters anymore. Before (when I was helping another user with scim's zh-pinyin option) the update I was able to, but now I cannot. The scim executable still starts up, but I am unable to change which foreign keys I wish to type in either via manually clicking on the icon or by the Ctrl+Space options. Because scim-bridge was removed and the ChangeLog.txt said scim-bridge's functionality was added to scim-1.4.14, I attempted to edit /etc/profile.d/scim.csh and /etc/profile.d/scim.sh (only scim.sh is shown here, though): Code:
--- /etc/profile.d/scim.sh 2011-03-19 16:12:44.000000000 -0700 I was wondering if anybody else was able to get scim working after the scim-bridge removal, or if it was just me that was suffering from this problem? |
Well, shoot, there I go again, trying to help but I wind up breaking things ;)
scim is still working for me without scim-bridge. I did edit /etc/profile.d/scim.sh. I put everything inside the first if/fi statement, so it looks like this: Code:
if [ -x /usr/bin/scim ]; then Have you tried running 'update-gtk-immodules'? You might also have some cache files that are interfering, in /tmp or $USER/.scim I should note that I'm not running slackware current. I'm using the packages from Slackware 14 (converted to porteus modules). |
Same problem here.
I can input Chinese in Konsole, but not in Chrome/Firefox... Ok, after this change and reboot, everything works again: Code:
--- scim.sh.orig 2011-03-21 19:41:00.000000000 +0800 + export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" is unnecessary, without it, KDE application works well... |
Hey guys,
First of all, I want to say thank you for responding. I really appreciate it. Even if you don't use scim, thank you for helping me test. ill323, the Code:
export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" Both of you are correct. I thought that after editing scim.sh and/or scim.csh, I could just source the files again via Code:
. /etc/profile.d/scim.sh So then I tried exporting the variables manually: Code:
export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" && So with the scim.sh and scim.csh scripts edited with the variables set to "scim", I rebooted and scim works again. I've sent patches to Pat and mentioned this thread. Hopefully he applies the patches in the next batch of updates. Thanks again, guys! |
Glad you got it sorted out!
Out of curiousity, did you try loging out/back in to restart your session, or restarting X without rebooting? That might be worth a try for those who prefer not to reboot (shared systems, servers, etc) |
Ah, that's what I forgot to do. I didn't re-login. :/
