Emacs 24.3 with FCITX input methods[Resolved in 14.2]

[tsuren]

I am using fcitx-4.2.7 as I could not compile for 4.2.9. You can recompile with djemos' SLKBUILD.

After testing some time, I see consistently IME works twice on emacs. And from the third time on, the IME stops working. To make it work again, I have to restart the sesson.

Very thanks.

I install djemos' fcitxx-4.27, but can not active fcitx in my terminal. unless right menu
change input method to X input method.

when I run emacsclient first time, it can work, exit, and run again, input method broken.
I am very pool understood input method, so it even more bad than before.

Could you tell me how to restore Terminal right menu -> input methods -> system to X Input Method ?
I uninstall 4.2.7, reboot system, but it still show me System is FCITX.

yesterday, because this reason, I reinstall my Salix two time, I can't google meaningful result for this.

You have to restart session or restart your machine.

You do not need to reinstall Salix... I assume you are using xfce4, correct?

In general, after installing IME, you have to do several things. For example, first to uninstall ibus related packages. Second, restart to see:

Code: Select all

export XIM=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx

is properly done.

Third, update gtk immodulme cache.

And what is your locale by default?

By the way, perhaps it's better you recompile it for your system.

Create a directory, and put SLKBUILD, fcitx-4.2.7_dict.tar.xz and profile.d.tar.gz there.
Then 'sudo slkbuild -X' to recompile.

Thanks very much!
I lose this step,

Third, update gtk immodulme cache.

when I update to this, default change to XIM.

my locale settings is:

Code: Select all

export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf8

I will tried it tomorrow, here is 3:30 middle of night anyway.

Thanks.

Any one can help out to hack this Salix specify undesirable behavior ?

Thanks.

Hi zw963, I still think it is a Salix specific problem. Perhaps people who use emacs do not use external IMEs, as it seems that emacs offers its own IME. I've just tried the emacs IME and it works OK. Have you already asked other Chinese colleagues if emacs and fcitx work well together?
