Re: [tlug] Japanese Input - Kubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Claus Aranha <caranha@example.com>]

Lyle, I got this working a year ago with Kubuntu 11.04. I hope things have not changed too much since them (none of my machines broke down when I updated them to 12.04).

1. Install the following packages: ibus, ibus-anthy, ibus-gtk, ibus-m17n
2. Go to the “K” menu -> applications -> system -> input setting framework
3. A box will show up with the ibus configuration options (and maybe asking you if it should start ibus, say yes)
4. configure your desired shortcuts in the “general” tab. Make sure to configure keys for “enable-disable” and “next input method”. In the “input methods” tab, add “Japanese->anthy” and “other->latin pre”
5. Close the configuration screen. Right-click on the ibus icon in your tray bar (a little keyboard with a ball) and select “restart” — you are good to go!

Hope this helps. (PS: the latin-pre is to get latin accents working, you can skip that)

Very cool!  Any details on the steps taken?
