Hi,
I'm using GuixSD v0.10.0 with GNOME. I'd like to be able to type in
Japanese. I can already display Japanese text without issue because
I've installed fonts that contain Japanese characters; however, I
cannot
figure out how to enable Japanese input.
In the past, I've done this for other GNU/Linux distributions. I
recall
that the process was a little complicated. Has anyone set up
Japanese
language (or any other non-English) input for GuixSD? I'm going to
look
into this regardless, but if someone has already jumped through the
hoops, I'd love to hear about how you did it.
There're fcitx and ibus as input method frameworks, I think we just
need
to package anthy, ibus-anthy and fcitx-anthy.
Thanks for confirming that the necessary work hasn't been done yet.
Those package names sound familiar. I'll see if I can get any of them
packaged and working! Thanks.
The attached patches add anthy and ibus-anthy. They build OK.
However,
Japanese input is not yet working for me. In fact, ibus itself does
not
seem to be working at all.
How can I verify that ibus is working on its own? I've tried
installing
ibus by itself into my profile. When I do this, I can run ibus-setup,
and I see a "Japanese" language input option. This is true even when
anthy and ibus-anthy are not installed, which surprised me. I had
expected to find no Japanese language input options at all in
ibus-setup
when anthy and ibus-anthy are not installed.
In GNOME, there is no ibus menu visible anywhere on my screen, so it is
unclear whether ibus is actually working. When I open Gedit and press
<Super>+Space, my input method does not seem to change. According to
ibus-setup, this hotkey should change my input method. However, it
seems like ibus is just not working at all.
