Re: [tlug] UIM-Anthy Command Silliness

Suggestions?
I had a little trouble getting UIM/Anthy set up when I upgraded to Ubuntu 8.10, Intrepid Ibis. Nothing related to Thunderbird or Firefox, so I don't think I can help you there. But some other things might be of use:

First... I just looked in Synaptic, and I don't see an Anthy-specific toolbar. Isn't it the UIM toolbar you want? That's the one that appears on the Gnome panel and allows you to do things like configure Anthy.

Yes, you're correct. It is UIM and I have installed both uim-gnome and uim-kde applet panels with no effect.


Assuming, then, that you want the UIM one, you need to get the package called uim-applet-gnome (or uim-applet-kde). Then you need to log in and out. And then you can right click on your panel and select "Add to Panel...". Last, in the list, you select "Input Method Indicator". That places the icon on your panel from which you can access configurations.

Second... After my fresh install, I would go into the Input Method manager interface and do all my configurations. But, no matter how many times I double checked and saved my preferences, they didn't actually take effect.

Turns out there was this hidden directory in my home folder called ".xim.d", which had one file in it called UTF_CA. If I recall, I looked it up on the web and discovered it was a configuration file associated with SCIM. So I deleted the directory, logged in and out, and then Anthy was working fine. Maybe it's something like that might be contributing to command-key issues?

I do not see .xim.d in my home directory in Dolphin. None of the other files visible (and I have "show hidden files" enabled) appear to have anything to do with UIM or XIM.


I'm not sure, but I /think/ there might be an even more basic problem here. First, let me repeat that this is Kubuntu 8.04_AMD64 (Hardy Heron [a.k.a. Horny Hamster]) we're working with.

In System Settings -> Regional & Language I have installed US English, Japanese, Chinese (long and short form), German, and French. US English is selected as Default.

From Terminal as Root:

# locale -a | grep ja_JP
ja_JP.utf8
# cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
# dpkg-reconfigure locales

# cat /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Should I manually edit /var/lib/locales/support.d./local or is the absence of these other languages a sign of something else that is more wrong?


Do / can I change something else that would make updates to these files automatic in the future?
