Description Marko Myllynen 2011-04-27 08:23:59 UTC

Description of problem:
After default Fedora 15 Beta installation the input method in use is "No Input Method", not "Use X compose table". This makes compose sequences from locale specific X compose maps to be unavailable.

There have been few long discussions related to this, see:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505100
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623931

I'm wondering could XIM be enabled by default in Fedora 15? Either for all or at least for the locales/keyboards listed in:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 15 Beta

Please give me the installed imsettings version and your locale.

You could enable it by the hand from im-chooser say, right?

> Please give me the installed imsettings version and your locale.

imsettings-1.2.2-1.fc15.i686 and LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8. To quickly check if the fi_FI.UTF-8 compose map is in use you could try, e.g., <Multi_key> <f> <i>. If so, you'll get ﬁ (U+FB01), otherwise no output.

Yes, manually switching to "Use X compose table" works fine. I'm suggesting that it should be considered could it be the default setting.

Thanks.

Can you attach $HOME/.imsettings.log?

Comment 4 Marko Myllynen 2011-04-28 08:56:12 UTC

I'll attach the log both with no input method and with X compose maps in use.

Comment 7 Akira TAGOH 2011-04-28 09:19:12 UTC

Strange. how did you install it? though I tried to reproduce your problem with changing /etc/sysconfig/i18n to fi_FI.UTF-8 and create a new user, it works fine there. even though it works with ja_JP.UTF-8 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n but simply changed to "Finnish (Finland)" in "Region and Language" on gnome-control-center and re-login.

Comment 8 Marko Myllynen 2011-04-28 10:22:04 UTC

Ok, after some investigations and IRC chat it turns out that X compose sequences work in all of these cases by default at least with Finnish:

- change language from GNOME's Region and Language settings
- change locale setting in /etc/sysconfig/i18n
- change locale setting in $HOME/.i18n

What didn't work was setting locale in shell init script (e.g., $HOME/.bash_profile or $HOME/.zprofile). This is not going to change.

Closing, thanks.
