Slackware 12.1 - Korean input with SCIM does not work within QT applications
Hello,
I've upgraded to Slackware 12.1 and I'm using SCIM to enter Korean characters. I followed instructions in the CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT file to set up SCIM: 1) in ~/.profile, I added: Code:
export LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 Code:
chmod +x /etc/profile.d/scim.sh Code:
/usr/bin/scim -d On SCIM website (http://www.scim-im.org/projects/scim_qtimm), It is mentioned: Quote:
FYI, I installed only the following SCIM packages: libhangul scim scim-hangul scim-bridge Thank you for your feedback. |
I can enter Simplified Chinese into KWord, Stardict, Firefox, Konsole, KEdit.
I had to go to SCIM setup (right-click the tray icon) and add another language, so that there was more than just Chinese Simplified in the Global Setup. |

Alien Bob,
Yes I'm running level 4 |
I googled a bit and it seems that to be able to have SCIM working for QT applications, we need a QT plugin. Other distributions (Ubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora) offer a "scim-qtimm" package to make SCIM work with QT applications.
Is such a package necessary for Slackware? I haven't found one for now. |
OK, I guess I found the issue.
There's a recent interview of South Korean KDE developpers: http://dot.kde.org/1209422140/ Look at krisna's interview about issue with Korean input method with KDE. Things will look brighter in KDE4. I'll just have to wait. |

to have a QT plugin for SCIM to work with QT applications. We put a lot of work into SCIM between Slackware-12.0 and 12.1. Prior to Slackware-12.0, to use SCIM we had to rebuild many packages ... such as fontconfig, freetype, libXft, and x11. Not to mention the fact that we also had to build scim, scim-fcitx, scim-pinyin, and scim-tables to display and input Chinese. We also had to use Microsoft fonts to have a decent Hanzi display. But ... Along came Eric Hameleers (Alien Bob), who worked with us and started the SAS Project ... Slackware Asian Support. My thanks to Eric for hours of tireless work to get us to where we are today. Just had to say this, and let those who search know that the problem in this thread just might be Korean input only, for Chinese and Japanese input and display do not require a plugin to work with QT apps. |
OK and agreed with Bruce Hill, issue is only for Korean.
I modified the title in my first post to reflect that point but the thread title is not modified. I don't know how to do it. Thank you anyway for the good work on SCIM. |
Hi:
“for Chinese and Japanese input and display do not require a plugin to work with QT apps.” But I still cannot use scim in kword, but able to use in firefox or KWrite, which file should I configure? Have search for long, no aswer. Wish help!! |
Hello Sun_Bi,
To solve my issue with Korean input not working in QT applications, I installed SKIM (SCIM for KDE). I've submitted a slackbuild at www.slackbuilds.org: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.1/system/skim/ Hope it will work for you. |
Thanks a lot,gegechris99, skim works well!!
By the way, my pinyin name is Sun_Bin |

Hello Hoanglong1712,
Which version of Slackware are you using? Since Slackware 12.1, scim is included in slackware and the installation method is described in file CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT: Quote:
In Slackware 12.2, scim works natively with QT-based applications (as far as Korean input is concerned). So no need for Skim. |
Hello hoanglong1712,
I use SCIM that comes with Slackware. I am using Slackware64 -current. I do not use Kword or Kate, but I try to help you. I open Kword and press 'ctrl+space' and input Hanzi. It works, no problem. I open kate and press 'ctrll+space' and input Hanzi. It works, no problem. I have QQ beta for Linux. Before I start QQ from a terminal, I must enter "export LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8" for SCIM to work with QQ. |
