Please help me with my ibus and ibus-pinyin.

astrobear

Sorry for posting in English, but I cannot use my Chinese input method.

I cannot find any clues on the web and finally ask for help here. Please help me with the strange problem.

Thank you very much.


This is a new installation of Gentoo on my new Thinkpad T400.

I have emerged ibus and ibus-pinyin. Without any configurations (like XIM etc.), An icon of ibus (keyboard with an earth) appears on the toolbar(notification area) of Gnome.

I can use the "Shou Xuan Xiang" button or ibus-setup command to setup it. But it can NOT SAVE any changes.

I tried many times to add the ibus-pinyin as the default input method, but nothing happens. Every time I launch ibus-setup again, and see the input method list keeping blank.

The version information:

dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1  USE="berkdb gdbm ncurses readline sqlite ssl threads xml -build -doc -examples -ipv6 -tk -ucs2 -wininst"
app-i18n/ibus-1.2.0.20091024  USE="nls -doc"
app-i18n/ibus-pinyin-1.2.0.20090915  USE="nls"



PS:

Other information maybe useful:

My googleearth(4.2.205.5730) on the same enviroment cannot save settings too. I add a place for my apartment, and close googleearth and start it again. The place setting disappears.

Another Gentoo system on an old laptop(Acer TM280) has a similar problem. The ibus works well on it, but the Firefox always forgets bookmarks which are newly added. It works correctly sometimes when I get a good luck.

Another Gentoo system on my desktop has met a similar problem too. This time it turn to Gnome. A new user sometimes lost icons on the desktop and toolbars after creating it and rebooting.

Is there any other information needed?

Thank you all !

建议你 emerge fcitx，用中文说明一下情况，然后再慢慢装ibus。

by the way，俺不用ibus，帮不上什么忙。

看 emerge 完 ibus 之后的输出信息。另外，也许还需要 export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf8

The message after emerge is:

>>> Messages generated by process 6540 on 2009-11-07 22:38:02 EST for package app-i18n/ibus-1.2.0.20091024:

LOG: postinst
To use ibus, you should:
1. Get input engines from sunrise overlay.
   Run "emerge -s ibus-" in your favorite terminal
   for a list of packages we already have.

2. Setup ibus:

   $ ibus-setup

3. Set the following in your user startup scripts
   such as .xinitrc, .xsession or .xprofile:

   export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
   export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
   export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
   ibus-daemon -d -x



My problem is on the 2nd step. I have tried to put the scripts(and the LC_CTYPE you have metioned) in .xsession and .xprofile. The problem is still there, and nothing happens.

ibus-setup有出来ibus设置界面吗？

flies

在终端运行ibus-setup，操作过程中看终端的输出信息可能会找到问题所在。我觉得有可能是目录写入权限的问题。

Yes. It looks normal but cannot save settings.
