Re: [tlug] nihongo nyuuryoku for a gaijin



Scott:

Your Ubuntu section worked like a charm. I installed ibus-anthy and ran ibus-setup. I found I needed to reboot, but then the control-space combo brought up the Japanese input system!

お世話になりました。これからも宜しくお願いします。

Folks:

I'm a US cit about to move (back) to Japan after about 20 years. I'm a
hardcore linux enthusiast.  I've bounced around distros, but generally
do all my home computing on Linux or FreeBSD.

One thing that I'm unfamiliar with is nihongo input on a linux system.
I've got Japanese on my work laptop working, but was wondering if
someone might have some pointers on what the best input system is for
inputting Japanese with an American standard keyboard.  (FYI, I've got
Ubuntu and Linux Mint desktops right now.)
With both Ubuntu and Mint, it's pretty easy.  You will use ibus-anthy.  (In
Fedora, they're replacing anthy with mozc, but I don't believe that's in
Ubuntu yet.)

In FreeBSD, I believe it's also ibus-anthy, but I haven't used Japanese on
FreeBSD in several years.

Long ago, I put up a page about the whole thing at
http://home.roadrunner.com/~computertaijutsu/jpninpt.html

However, it's almost certainly out of date with Ubuntu, and actually,
Japanese input has become so trivial on most distributions these days that
I no longer keep it updated.
