2.try to use keyboard shortcut to activate SCIM
3.doesn't work neither if you click the icon in tray area.
  
Actual results:
Nothing happens

Expected results:
SCIM panel shows up, and user can use it to input saying Chinese.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2008-07-31 07:09:48 UTC 
Hotkey is only defined for Asian locale by default.
Comment 2 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-07-31 11:05:54 UTC 
I have enabled it manually, so that's not the problem, since almost all other
applications (saying gnome-terminal, gedit, Openoffice etc) work fine here. BTW,
I think hotkey should be defined for all utf8 locale, there are many people
using en_US.utf8 for GUI but occasionally or frequently need to input
Chinese/Japanese.
Comment 3 Jens Petersen 2008-08-01 01:22:08 UTC 
I'll try with rawhide soon - I don't have a working install right.

(Looks ok to me on F9.)
Comment 4 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-01 11:47:18 UTC 
It's really strange last time I updated imsetting stuff yesterday, it worked for
a moment, but when I relogin, it returns to null. :-(. I am currently on the F9.
Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2008-08-04 06:12:17 UTC 
Which input method are you using to input Chinese?

Japanese and Chinese input to poedit seems ok to me in current rawhide too with en_US.UTF-8.

What is your output of "locale" and "rpm -qa scim\*|sort"?
Comment 6 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-04 07:23:02 UTC 
I currently use scim-python-pinyin, but if I remember right scim-pinyin doesn't work neither. Here is my locale:
[ganlu@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"

and: 
[root@localhost ganlu]# rpm -qa scim\*|sort
scim-1.4.7-23.fc9.i386
scim-libs-1.4.7-23.fc9.i386
scim-python-0.1.13rc1-1.fc9.i386
scim-python-pinyin-0.1.13rc1-1.fc9.i386

I tried it's working without scim-bridge on Arch Linux, so I doubt it's due to scim-bridge.
Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2008-08-04 07:44:18 UTC 
And what does "/usr/libexec/xinput.sh" output?

You might be hitting some XIM issue with imsettings perhaps.

Any reason not to use scim-bridge-gtk?
Comment 8 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-04 07:52:37 UTC 
I re-installed scim-bridge, and returned to default locale "en_US.utf8", still no luck.

I have the same feeling too.
 
> Any reason not to use scim-bridge-gtk?
As far as I know, scim-bridge-gtk is for improving compatibility of scim, since almost all applications in F9 are compiled with gcc 4, so I think that's not a problem anymore, in fact I don't meet any issues with scim alone. Don't like before that realplayer and binary nightly build firefox from mozilla won't start with scim, but situation has been changed, both work great with scim. I don't use Adobe Reader so I don't know, above three applications could be the main reason that scim-bridge occurs.
Comment 10 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-04 08:12:46 UTC 
I found only 50-xinput.sh on my system, here is the output by executing it:

Comment 12 Akira TAGOH 2008-08-04 08:49:09 UTC 
When you got an issue, what does "imsettings-list" display? and how about "imsettings-info SCIM"?
Comment 13 Akira TAGOH 2008-08-04 08:51:45 UTC 
also can you see any warnings/errors relates to imsettings in .xsession-errors?

Not really. we have never enabled XIM support on imsettings for F-9 and we don't XIM support enabled on rawhide anymore. even if the desktop session is keeping alive a long time without restarting, this isn't the kind of reproducible issue with restarting the desktop.

What I can say so far is, make sure if imsettings\* packages keeps up to date.

True. :)

You could also try with scim-gtk.

I installed it, but unfortunately doesn't solve my problem. :-(
Comment 18 Akira TAGOH 2008-08-06 13:08:29 UTC 
What the desktop are you using BTW?

When you started the desktop, I mean when you log into the desktop from gdm say, did you see any error dialogs etc?

No. I currently work around by setting my locale as:
[ganlu@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
I will try update imsetting and scim from rawhide to see if anything changes.
Comment 20 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-06 15:42:30 UTC 
No dice, things still don't work, and only message I got from the terminal is:
[ganlu@localhost ~]$ poedit 

(poedit:22261): Gtk-WARNING **: gtkwidget.c:8547: widget class `GtkPizza' has no property named `row-ending-details'

I am totally at lost.

Sorry, you mean SCIM does work with the above locale, but not with pure en_US.UTF-8?
Comment 22 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-07 14:38:31 UTC 
Yeah, YES, the magic part is "export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8".

I see. to clarify more, when you log in with the pure en_US.UTF-8 locale, you can see the scim icon at the systray, right? but can't activate scim with ctrl+space?

Can you see the IME list when you click the scim icon at the systray? if yes, what happens if you do select one from that menu?

There is the scim icon staying at the systray under pure en_US.UTF-8(or en_US.utf8 if matters), I can activate scim with other applications (except poedit), and it works well.

Can't if it's poedit, otherwise work well.
Comment 25 Akira TAGOH 2008-08-08 05:42:34 UTC 
Tried on F-9 updated with new account to make sure. the packages installed are:

$ rpm -qa | grep -E "(scim|im-chooser|imsettings)" | sort
im-chooser-1.2.0-1.fc9.i386
imsettings-0.101.3-2.fc9.i386
imsettings-libs-0.101.3-2.fc9.i386
scim-1.4.7-23.fc9.i386
scim-anthy-1.2.4-4.fc9.i386
scim-bridge-0.4.15-5.fc9.i386
scim-bridge-gtk-0.4.15-5.fc9.i386
scim-lang-japanese-1.4.7-23.fc9.i386
scim-libs-1.4.7-23.fc9.i386

Steps what I did:
1. log into the gnome desktop with new account and "English (United States)" language.
1. run im-chooser and turn on "Enable input method feature" check box.
2. see if the scim icon appears at the systray
3. run poedit and click ok button to close a dialog box appears only the initial time.
4. fill in my info and click ok button
5. open a po file.
6. move a focus to left corner of the box, where would be supposed to appear the translation string.
7. click the scim icon and select "Japanese" to bring up scim-anthy.
8. type something.

I can input Japanese on poedit on even en_US.UTF-8 locale.

Tried again with the same packages. i.e. installed scim-python and scim-python-pinyin and removed scim-lang-japanese and scim-anthy. that still works for me.
Have you tried new account yet? I'm not sure if any config affects this, but that may worth trying.

I am so exciting that it works, BUT just for a moment, I could know how to trigger it though.
1. Open scim-setup, and set hotkey for trigger, saying "Ctrl+Space", apply it (BTW, why there is empty hotkey setting).
2. Try some applications, it (both hotkey and scim) works.
3. Log out and relogin, open poedit
4. Scim refuses to work anymore, you can't use your hotkey, but can still activate scim-python-pinyin by clicking the scim icon at the system tray, however poedit only accepts direct keyboard input.
Comment 30 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-08-08 14:05:55 UTC 
The situation only occurs to poedit, other applications works.

> The situation only occurs to poedit, other applications works.

Please try below steps.
 1. gconftool-2 --type bool -s /desktop/gnome/interface/show_input_method_menu true
 2. poedit
 3. mouse right click and input entry to popup context menu
 4. choice scim or scim-bridge input method in `Input Methods` menu.
 5. try scim as other applications.

Scim can work with poedit this way, but which is not what I expect. I hope I can use my hot key to trigger scim like applications.

You mean except the hot key, every thing is OK. Right?

No, my problem is I can't use scim with poedit unless two ways:
1. Use above way
2. Or change my locale
Which is very strange and annoying since almost all other applications works with hot key.

To be clarified, my problem is:
1. I can't use hot key to trigger scim even it(hot key) works perfectly with other applications.
2. I can't use scim even if I can trigger scim by clicking the icon at the system tray. Under this situation, poedit seems to accept only direct keyboard input.

More infomation: after choose scim-bridge from "Input Methods" menu, hot key works, and I still need this hot key to trigger scim.

Comment 37 Peng Huang 2008-08-09 14:20:27 UTC 
Please provide output of command `ldd poedit`.
The problem seems that poedit does not choice right gtk im module. But this problem doesn't happen in my box, I guess if you build poedit or wxGTK by self, you did not install them from fedora repo via yum.

Did you use im-chooser to enable SCIM? If you did, the output should be scim or scim-bridge. Please use im-chooser select SCIM and try this command again.

I do use im-chooser to enable SCIM, but this (xim) is exactly what I get by running command "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-module". So what's wrong?
Comment 42 Peng Huang 2008-08-10 04:13:35 UTC 
Hi tagoh-san,
Do you have any idea about this problem? Why /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-module is xim after using im-chooser enable SCIM?

Hmm, the above steps still works for me, even if I run poedit with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. I need more information to investigate further. can you give us:

1. the whole log file of .xsession-errors on new account, when you can reproduce that
2. the result of "stat ~/.xinputrc"
3. the result of "md5sum /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim.conf"
4. the result of "strace -f poedit > strace.log 2>&1" with some operations, including hitting your trigger keys

imsettings doesn't do more extra work than each xinput script expects. why that set xim is you and Jens should knows well than me. AFAICT it is only bringing up the multilib issue. however I have never seen the word 'x86_64' in this report. and as he had already given us, GTK_IM_MODULE should points to scim-bridge. if he didn't do anything else. this result really looks weird to me.
I hope the strace log may has some idea.

Comment 47 Akira TAGOH 2008-08-11 05:50:25 UTC 
I'm not quite sure why that happened but apparently there seems to be dead processes of scim* not responding anymore. better logging out and killing all of scim* processes from vt (with pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1 and login say) once, then try again.

If I log out, there is no any scim processes in vitual terminal(by commanding "ps ax | grep scim" shows nothing). If I switch to another vt(by pressing Alt+Ctrl+F1)  when I am logged in, and kill all scim* processes, return to gnome (by pressing Alt+F7), I have to use im-chooser to enable scim again, and poedit runs into the same problem.
Any possiblity it's related to poedit or wxgtk?

Not really. I can't reproduce that here.
Okay, please try this to get more information:

1. turn off IM with im-chooser.
2. restart the desktop
3. make sure if no scim processes is running
4. run "/usr/libexec/im-settings-daemon --replace" on the terminal 1.
5. run "/usr/libexec/im-info-daemon --replace" on the terminal 2.
6. run "imsettings-info SCIM"
7. run "imsettings-start -n SCIM".
8. check if /usr/libexec/gconf-im-settings-daemon is running
9. run "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-module"

Expected result:
the result of 9. should be same to "imsettings-info SCIM | grep GTK". and if no particular errors, scim should works with poedit.

Then:

1. turn on IM with im-chooser.
2. restart the desktop
3. check if /usr/libexec/gconf-im-settings-daemon is running
4. run "gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk-im-module"
5. see "echo $GTK_IM_MODULE" and "echo $XMODIFIERS"

Expected result:
the result of 4. should be same the above test case. and $GTK_IM_MODULE should be empty. and $XMODIFIERS should be same to "imsettings-info SCIM | grep XMODIFIERS".

Done the above, and make sure every step is OK.

Yes.

scim-bridge, I may know why before it's xim. I re-install the Fedora9 (through gnome livecd), and run im-chooser as zh_CN.utf8 firstly (I run im-chooser as en_US.utf8 firstly when last time I install f9), then it's scim-bridge.

No errors, but no dice, scim still refuses to work with poedit.

Well, possible idea is, because no gnome-settings-daemon is running or something goes wrong with it. there are two way to check if gnome-settings-daemon a.k.a. XSETTINGS manager works properly:

a. whether you saw the dialog like "There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon...". if yes, it's highly likely not working properly.
b. check if other XSETTINGS manager like xfce-mcs-manager and xsettings-kde, or im-xsettings-daemon in imsettings package in rawhide. if gnome-settings-daemon is working properly, that should fails to run those processes at least, because only one XSETTINGS manager can be ran on the screen.

I suppose running poedit with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim or scim-bridge explicitly should works, then I have no other idea so far why that doesn't work.

HTH,

But only poedit so far doesn't work with scim. However, it works well with scim when I choose explicitly scim from menu. Enve if it's that XSETTING manager doesn't function properly, it's caused by running poedit.

No such error only thing I notice could be related to gnome setting daemon is GDM doesn't respect changed default cursor theme(seems hard-coded to BlueCurve theme).

Not sure I understand what you said. Do you mean I could install such setting manager from rawhide, and run anyone of these when gnome-setting-daemon is running?

If you mean to run poedit with "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim poedit", which doesn't work neither.

Yes, because selecting immodules from the menu explicitly doesn't pick anything up from XSETTINGS manager.

xfce-mcs-manager and xsettings-kde is also available with the same package name on F-9. and try running one of them to check if gnome-settings-daemon is working. you may see "another xsettings manager is already running" or something like that. that's good then.

Really? even if you do run GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge poedit or GTK_IM_MODULE=scim poedit, you can't still input Chinese with scim? and selecting IME from the systray also not working?

Technically there are no difference between bringing up the application with GTK_IM_MODULE envvar and selecting immodule from the menu though.

Yes.

That's why I suspect somewhere is wrong.

That may be the root cause of this problem. I guess the previous backtrace log was without GTK_IM_MODULE right? then the log with GTK_IM_MODULE might give us any clue.

strace log for a successful experience

Wired I just experience one time that poedit successfully worked with scim when you suggest I run strace with "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim". I firstly run it with "strace -f GTK_IM_MODULE=scim poedit > strace.log 2>&1" (I don't know if it's the right way), but nothing happens, then I re-run it with "strace -f poedit > strace.log 2>&1", what a luck, hot key works and everything seems to work and I have a strace log too.

Damn it, the problem comes again without any trace, not even I try again the same as the last time.

I just installed amule, the same problem occurs, I still suspect anything wrong with wxgtk, which may cause incompatible issue with scim or scim-bridge.

I'm confused. so you're saying scim doesn't work on poedit:

a. without any envvar.
b. even with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim and GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge
c. with strace, but without any envvar.

but works:

d. if scim is being brought up from im-chooser but not work after restarting the desktop.
e. with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim strace

right? and the above thing is reproducible? I mean you said "the problem again" at Comment #57, if you do one of the above two case (particularly case e), which scim worked, does scim works again?

No, I don't know why the last time it works when I run "strace -f poedit > strace.log 2>&1" after "strace -f poedit >
strace.log 2>&1" (The only guess is that I just installed aMule), and I can't reproduce it again (I mean to make scim work with poedit again), that is why I feel headache. You mentioned in my strace.log there is scim dead process, I wonder what may cause it, which may be the reason why poedit can't trigger scim on my system.

So please attach the strace log again with "GTK_IM_MODULE=scim strace -f poedit > strace.log 2>&1" again. the log working as expected doesn't help.

Comment 63 Jens Petersen 2008-10-27 07:06:55 UTC 
Does scim-1.4.7-24.fc9 help with this?

Could you answer the (indirect) question about which arch you are using?
Comment 64 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-10-28 00:44:17 UTC 
Oh, sorry first, since I have change my locale to deal with this problem, I didn't notice there is a update, but anyway it WORKS now, thank you all very much. 
BTW, I am under i386 arch.
Comment 65 Jens Petersen 2008-10-28 01:17:11 UTC

But not in your original locale settings?
Comment 66 甘露(Gan Lu) 2008-10-28 03:39:49 UTC 
It works now under en_US.utf9 locale. Before that, it (I mean SCIM and poedit) only works under zh_CN.utf8 locale.
Comment 67 Jens Petersen 2008-10-28 06:33:25 UTC 
Okay, I am still not completely sure what the original problem was - sounds like various concurring factors, but closing this for now.  Please re-open if there is any re-occurence.
