In case you are using KDE， does it work if you do QT_IM_MODULE=scim oowriter (I assume that you have QT_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge by default). -- 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.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331614#c4 --- Comment #4 from Mike Fabian 2007-10-15 06:57:33 MST --- I found that there is a problem with the scim-bridge-qt and the scim-bridge-qt-32bit packages: They conflict: /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/im-scim-bridge.so mfabian@magellan:~$ rpm -ql scim-bridge-qt-32bit /usr/lib/qt3 /usr/lib/qt3/plugins /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods /usr/lib/qt3/plugins/inputmethods/im-scim-bridge.so mfabian@magellan:~$ Therefore, if both are installed input will not work either in 32bit applications (e.g. OpenOffice, skype, ...) or in 64bit applications (KDE and most other qt based applications). Which of these work depends on whether scim-bridge-qt or scim-bridge-qt-32bit has been installed last. If scim-bridge-qt-32bit has been installed last, input in the 32bit applications will work but not in the 64bit applications. If scim-bridge-qt has been installed last it is the other way round. -- 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.

scim -d oowriter

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331614#c11 Mike Fabian changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|ASSIGNED |NEEDINFO Info Provider| |lihaow@opera.com --- Comment #11 from Mike Fabian 2007-10-17 09:21:32 MST --- Truth Wang> btw. I guess scim XIM support module(or some other Truth Wang> modules?) is not loaded automatically. Strange, because this works for me. Did you change something in the default start procedure of scim? /etc/sysconfig/language contains a variable INPUT_METHOD="" which should be empty by default. Do you have a ~/.xim file in your home directory? If you want to use the default, you don’t need such a file. If you want to specify the commands to start the input method yourself, you may create such a file and put the necessary commands in there. For example ~/.xim could contain: export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi export QT_IM_MODULE=scim scim -d But doing this should not be necessary unless you want to do something different from the default. And if I understand you correctly you didn’t do any such changes, is that right? Which desktop are you using? KDE or Gnome? -- 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 scim-bridge forgets to launch the x11 frontend. So I add this patch to launch it. Hi, Thruth.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331614#c15 --- Comment #15 from Mike Fabian 2007-10-18 04:57:03 MST --- There are a few things I don’t understand though. The script /etc/X11/xim.d/scim-bridge, which is used to init the input method when scim-bridge is used, contains: export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge export QT_IM_SWITCHER=imsw-multi export QT_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge case "$WINDOWMANAGER" in *kde) if ! type -p skim > /dev/null 2>&1 \ || grep -i -q "^[[:space:]]*Autostart.*=.*false" $HOME/.kde/share/config/skimrc then scim -d else # skim will be used. But we don't start it here, # we rely on the KDE autostart # mechanism used in the skim package instead. # skim -d : fi ;; *) scim -d ;; esac I.e. in the non-KDE case it already executes "scim -d". In case of KDE, it executes "scim -d" only if the automatic start of skim has been disabled in the setup dialog of skim, then it assumes that the user wants to use scim instead of skim and therefore it starts "scim -d" in this case. If skim is not disabled, the autostart mechanism of KDE will start skim, which should be the same as calling "skim -d" from the command line. So why doesn’t this work for Truth and why does it work for me? I am using KDE on a 64bit system as well and I don’t run into that problem. And what does this have to do with 64bit? Nothing in the /etc/X11/xim.d/scim-bridge is 64bit specific and Peng Wu’s patch doesnt’t seem to be 64bit specific either. -- 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.
