Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: scim-anthy
All I did to find the bug was install scim-anthy. Sorry, but I can't
provide much more information. However, I did it on four machines, and
on two machines it works properly, and on two of them it does not work.
There are two hot keys to activate Anthy via scim, but on the working
machines both hotkeys toggle the Japanese input, and on the other two
machines they don't. All four of the machines are basically similar IBM
boxen with Japanese keyboards. Nothing fancy on the machines.
I discussed it briefly with a Linux guru yesterday, but he is not
familiar with Ubuntu, so he couldn't say where the exact problem
originates in the Ubuntu context. However, he was able to provide a
workaround almost instantly. (This is one of the fellows who doesn't
even use a distro, but just rolls his own configurations for each
installation and application he's using.) What he gave me was the
following four commands:
LANG='ja_JP.UTF-8' scim -d
export [EMAIL PROTECTED]
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
My experiments showed that there does not seem to be any reason to mess
with the LANG setting. In fact, in my naive experiments, it seemed to be
sufficient to use the third command, kill and restart scim (as "scim
-d"), and then any program evoked from that environment will have normal
Japanese input capability.
However, the real bug is to figure out where the proper environment
variables are supposed to be setup in Ubuntu and why they are sometimes
not getting set properly. Therefore I regard this as really being a bug
in the installation of scim-anthy.
