https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402571 User mfabian@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=402571#c13 --- Comment #13 from Mike Fabian 2008-06-25 07:46:07 MDT --- I wonder how it is possible that you had the settings of the environment variables you wrote into comment #8 *without* having scim installed. These variables are usually set by sourcing the script /etc/X11/xim.d/scim which belongs to the scim package mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xim.d$ rpm -qf scim scim-1.4.7-1.71 mfabian@magellan:/etc/X11/xim.d$ and therefore this script is not there if scim is not installed. While starting an X11 session, /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.common is read which contains the following lines to start an input method: # # Start the XIM server # XIMFILE=/etc/X11/xim test -r $HOME/.xim && XIMFILE=$HOME/.xim test -r $XIMFILE && source $XIMFILE I.e. it first checks whether the user has a file called ~/.xim in his home directory. If yes, this is sourced and nothing else. In this case, everything needed to start an input method and to setup the environment variables needs to be in this ~/.xim. This is usually only done if one doesn’t like the system default at all and wants to do something completely different. Maybe you do have such a file and setup the environment variables as in comment #8? But why??? If you have such a file and don’t need scim, just delete it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The only way I can imagine how this could happen is: - you install scim - you start a new X session and get the environment set up to use scim - you uninstall scim but do *not* restart your X session → you still have the environment setup for scim but scim might not work anymore which causes the problem you see But in that case, the problem should go away just by restarting X11 because then you get the environment setup *not* to use scim automatically (because the /etc/X11/xim.d/scim is gone after uninstalling scim). In both of the following cases your Spanish keyboard should work correctly 1) scim is correctly installed and works 2) scim is not installed. Somehow you managed to reach a state inbetween 1) and 2). (An exception to 1) is when scim-bridge is also installed, this seems to cause a problem with dead keys indeed which I just found today because of your bug report). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
