SCIM Setup

I keep forgetting how to setup (I mean the step-by-step) and that, I decide to blog about it, for my own reference.. Hehe..

Else, I'll have to keep going to my email, and start digging the email interchange between my otaku brother allen, and myself… arrgh…

And more than half of the emails are things like,

"how AH?",

"how come don't work?"

"like that MIE?"

If you're interested in having an ubuntu, and you still need to use chinese input like me,

There're iBus, gcin, but then since I'm used to SCIM, so, I'll stick to it, though it's not the best solution for chinese input…

I don't bother trying out the rest cos, after researching online, they're not much much more better either…

The description is not the best and detailed setup description, but then, it does serve a very good reminder to me…

I keep forgetting the step 3, and that, my "smart pinyin" doesn't show up...

1.system -> language support

2.terminal -> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim

-> the line GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE value, should be "xim", change to "scim" (without quotes).

3. terminal -> sudo apt-get install scim-pinyin

4. preference -> SCIM Input Method Setup
