Description Yusuf Ma 2005-05-11 22:12:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Chinese support was chosen during the installation. Language was chosen to be
Chinese when logging in KDE (or Gnome). When Ctrl+Space was pressed (as I did in
FC3), no Chinese input method bar pop up.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The following components were installed on my system:
iiimf-le-chinput-0.3-19
iiimf-libs-12.2-3
iiimf-le-xcin-0.1.10-1
iiimf-server-12.2-3
iiimf-libs-devel-12.2-3


How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. choose Language to be Chinese at the login interface
2. login
3. press Ctrl+Space to activate Chinese input method
  
Actual results:
No Chinese input method bar. No way to input Chinese.

Expected results:
Chinese input method bar appears and I can input Chinese by hitting the keyboard.

Additional info:
I tried running system-config-packages. The "Language Support" was not checked
when the window opens. (Note: I did check Chinese in "Language Support" while I
installed the FC4test3.) I tried choosing Chinese again in "Language Support"
and clicked on "Update". This time the following information appeared in the
dialog window:

This problem was solved after I installed two additional packages manually:
iiimf-qt-12.2-3
iiimf-gtk-12.2-3

I don't know why these two packages were not included when Chinese language
support was chosen during the system installation. They are definitely required
and should be the default packages for Chinese support. By the way,
kde-i18n-Chinese and openoffice.org-langpack-zh_CN are not included either. They
should also be the default for Chinese language support.

Strange that you dont have iiimf-x installed after you finished installation?
Which installation path did you take? Desktop, WS, Server?

With iiimf-x, you should be able to input with chinput LE in qt apps. However,
with iiimf-qt, it is also possible but a bit buggy which is why it is not
included as default.

Ok, I used Custom installation path, but I didn't uncheck any iiimf related
packages. It's weird.

Is this bug still valid??

Comment 5 Lawrence Lim 2005-10-12 04:38:39 UTC
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to
investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the
information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not
reproduceable, or has been fixed in the latest release of the package.

Please upgrade to the latest version, and if this issue turns out to still be
reproduceable in the latest update, please reopen the bug.

Thanks.
