 |
|
Cannot activate ibus input (Ctrl-Space) in XChat for typing Japanese with anthy. Other apps work well, both GTK and Qt.
If I click on the ibus icon in systray, it says "no input window".
ibus 1.2.0.20091024
XChat 2.8.6-r2
| Code: |
$ ps aux|grep ibus

I'll definitely be watching this topic. I can't get anything but Leafpad to work. Everything else says "No input window".
Still, it works a lot better than scim ever did.

Hey friesia, four questions:
- What WM/DE are you using?
- Do you use start it throught startx or do you use {g,k,x}dm/qingy/slim/etc.?
- What happens when you use start xchat from an xterm with
| Code: | | GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus" xchat" |
?
What happens when you start an xterm and ask it directly for the value of ${GTK,QT}_IM_MODULE?
My answers are:
- KDE4.3
- gdm
- I don't use xchat, but when I did it with firefox, ibus worked perfectly.
| Code: | rodoke@darilsheid ~ $ echo $XMODIFIERS $GTK_IM_MODULE $QT_IM_MODULE $QT4_IM_MODULE
@im=SCIM scim scim scim |
That last answer seems to be the problem (for me).
I set all the variables to ibus in /etc/env.d/ just like you. Hell, I unmerged all my scim stuff before I installed ibus just to stop this kind of problem. Somewhere along the line, though, something is setting them back to scim.

Has anyone made a progress on this? I use Fluxbox, and the icon on the lower right corner has "x" on it, and it says "No input window". I did add an Input Method.

I was at least able to see the input choice of mine.
1) Open locale file and add a language. It would be "ko_KR" for my case.
| Code: | /etc/locale.gen
en_US ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
ko_KR.UTF-8 UTF-8
|
2) Run "/usr/sbin/locale-gen" as root.
3) Make sure to export "LANG". Also I want to leave the menu text of IBus as English, so I added "en_US" when starting ibus-daemon.
| Code: | ~/.xinitrc
export LANG=ko_KR.utf8
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ibus-daemon -d -x
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
/usr/bin/startfluxbox |
It works, but I just can't map a key to switch between input methods. Also I had to unmask a couple of packages, so I ended up going back to SCIM. I might come back later when compatibility improves.

After examining how other distros use IBus, I found out how to switch between input methods. For my case, I wanted to map the right-side ALT key as the shortcut key, so I clicked on "..." button and pressed/released the right-side ALT key.
But no matter what I tried, it always ended up as "Release+Alt_R" instead of "Alt+Release+Alt_R" for the key code. It turned out that I had to check "Alt" checkbox to make it as "Alt+Release+Alt_R".
Now IBus is running, so I guess it's time for me to give it a try and see how it works.
