Thanks. I am now able to input Chinese character on my Linux box. I went to Apple store. Unlike Linux and WIndows, the Mac is really neat in this area. I will consider to invest in a Mac.

There is another simple way:

sudo apt-get install scim-bridge
sudo vim /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim

then find and change


GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

into


GTK_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"

Restart system. SCIM should works fine with all applications. Maybe you will need start SCIM manually by


scim -d

Hope it helps

Lander,

I faced the same problem and tried a solution similar to yours but it did not work. But anyway, thanks for sharing. At least we know it works in some cases.

Hi all, in Ubuntu 7.10, if your apt echoes “scim-pinyin … unavailable”, please select & try another “Software source” which means switching to a new origin server. If that still doesn’t work, try to enable check-box at that sw-source selecting dialog.
Enjoy!

谢谢支持。

不知何故，7.10升级程序包没有做好这一点。希望下一版本的升级程序包能妥当处理。

谢谢你。我升级我到7.10之后，SCIM就不能执行了。我可慌了！好在看到你的方案…谢谢。

If you are installing from scratch and not updating, you should follow the “quick setup” section at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM

If it doesn’t work, you can also try this:

用adept安装的:
skim
skim-scim-pinyin
scim-bridge-client-gtk
scim-bridge-client-qt
im-switch

需要的其他包adept会自己装。

然后，开一个终端，运行：
im-switch scim-pinyin

退出后重新登录。

im-switch所能选择的选项，在/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d下。
查看scim-pinyin发现，在装了scim-bridge后，使用scim-pinyin，则gtk的输入模块是scim-bridge，而qt的输入模块大概是scim-qtimm吧。

如果用
im-switch -s scim
或者
im-switch -s scim-immodule
则锁住屏幕后解锁时无法输入密码。

Thanks Adrian.

I have used ubuntu and chinese/scim a lot in the past. But I set up ubuntu gutsy on a new computer from the cdrom. It was setup as a en_US system, and I could not get scim setup correct.

Your tip to use the command
“im-switch -z en_US -s scim”
finally did it, forcing X to use scim for xinput.
