Re: [Trisquel-users] Having trouble with Japanese input, ibus-anthy, no Hiragana even with switch

Sorry for all the noise. I have solved this.

Here are instructions encase someone finds this thread:

install ibus-anthy

In System Settings, find language support, add Japanese

launch ibus-setup
->click customize an input method
->under Japanese find the submenu, Japanese-Anthy. Do NOT select Japanee  
alone

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I had this error on the old install and the  
fresh one too:


** (main.py:2928): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus: Failed  
to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-2jSHfAoFaW: Connection refused


I am not sure if ibus is using posix sockets and this is related

[Trisquel-users] Having trouble with Japanese input, ibus-anthy, no Hiragana even with switch

Hi Everyone

I really need to have Japanese input on my computer. I had an old  
installation of Trisquel from about a year ago. I got things working but  
after I restarted I could not get things to work again.


I have just freshly installed 7.0 Gnome 64 bit.

I have run updates and installed VLC and Icedove but no other application  
other then ibus-anthy otherwise so I pretty much have a clean install.


I ran ibus-setup.These are the changes:

I added Japanese

I clicked use system keyboard layout

clicked show icon in system tray

show property panel to always.

Under System Settings I clicked on Language and Support. I added Japanese and  
left keyboard input as ibus.


Things are weird.

If I type meta space and hold space for a second a icon pops up showing the  
keyboard switching between Japanese and English .


If I type ibus-daemon, I get:
current session already has an ibus-daemon.

Something is switching. If I go to Japanese the special keys like @, # etc  
all work differently but when I type:

"wa" I just get wa, it does not switch to hiragana or Kanji.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, I feel I am so close but I am also  
stuck.


Thanks for reading-Patrick
