Japanese Input ibus-mozc OR uim-mozc

Post#1 by rych » 04 Jun 2021, 09:33

... for Porteus 5.0rc2 OpenBox please.

I've installed fonts, that's easy. Then tried to install scim-anthy (Ctrl+Space doesn't work, and it's old anyway) and fcitx-mozc (breaks my keyboard input, and doesn't work anyway). Instead of further investigating and spending days and weeks on this, maybe someone could help me out. And actually it seems that the modern recommendation for Japanese input on Linux is to use mozc as the IME and ibus (or uim) as the framework.

So I guess ideally, I'd like to find

Code: Select all

ibus.xzm + ibus-mozc.xzm
OR

Code: Select all

uim.xzm + uim-mozc.xzm
Each might require separate modules to work in GTK and QT apps, and an extra config app.
Thanks. I don't have much hope and so will continue trying but it's taking me days, so please help if you can

Japanese Input ibus-mozc OR uim-mozc

Post#3 by rych » 05 Jun 2021, 05:55

Thank you neko, but the 005-fcitx-mozc.xzm doesn't work. (The 009-input_ja-x86_64-6.xzm (18 M) with scim was the one which I tried before which didn't work). So I'd settle for fcitx-mozc. But even though I rebuilt it with renamed subfolders

Code: Select all

usr/lib -> usr/lib64 and home/guest -> root
it still doesn't start, doesn't register, doesn't update ENV and doesn't list mozc. In Fcitx Config window there is no mozc. Other things appear to be broken:

Code: Select all

md5sum: 0436068f68db35c6ebcd7d8bf5b7e9bd Porteus-OPENBOX_ja-v5.0rc2-x86_64.iso

This ISO has 2 input methos (SCIM & FCITX).

SCIM is 009-input_ja-x86_64-6.xzm. Its running is success.

FCITX is 005-fcitx-mozc.xzm modified alittle. Its running is not success.
[Cause]
1. Modifying has some issues.
2. It has some package dependency issues (between Archlinux version & Slacksware version).
3. Initial process is lack.
4. others.

More analyzing is needed.


Thanks.

Post#5 by rych » 05 Jun 2021, 14:36

neko, thanks, I'll try your module tomorrow.

Today I build the 4 relevant modules from (slightly older) https://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=fcitx&sv=14.2. It works except:

1. I guess I need to make a tiny fcitx-setup.xzm module that inserts a .sh and .csh files into etc/profile.d tree that will define the following for me

Code: Select all

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
2. Mozc doesn't appear in the input list of fcitx-config GUI tool! A few Chinese inputs are there along with a million of Keyboard-BLA but not Mozc! Maybe after we've done 1) ubove properly or some other setting, or even that I run X-Windows as root instead of a user -- that would be a very exotic reason though. For now I can input Chinese characters, gives me candidates etc. I wonder how that happens.


Alternatively, we could try fcitx5

Code: Select all

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fcitx5
and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/I18N/Fcitx5

Also, apparently we should use the mozc-ut that has a much larger dictionary http://linuxplayers.g1.xrea.com/mozc-ut.html

neko, your 009-input_ja-x86_64-6.xzm now works on my system. I had to cleanup every mention of fcitx in my /changes folder first, as scim was trying to load some fcitx libraries (!!), through some im-cache or somthing -- now Ctrl+Space and everything works on a clean Scim-only system.

I'm now afraid to even try your 005-fcitx-mozc.xzm so that not to pollute my system again and because as you say "Its running is not success" anyway.

I have a new request though. I can live with scim-anthy thank you. But I'd be very interested to try

Code: Select all

fcitx5-mozc / fcitx5-mozc-ut
Alternatively

Code: Select all

ibus-mozc / ibus-mozc-ut

@rych

The fcitx-mozc package is contained in slackonly.
https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/pack ... slonly.txz

This is for version 14.2.
However, the current Porteus consists of older packages.
From here, I entered a maze that would be a big task.
I'm currently working on configuring Porteus with a "slackware-current" version of the package,
and it's unlikely to finish for the time being.

Thanks.

neko, Thanks for the update, and your efforts on this. Meanwhile I'm staying with scim-anthy on my working Porteus (thank you) and will not add another input onto it so that not to break it again.

I've also played with installing fcitx, fcitx5, ibus, and uim all with mozc on Nemesis and Antix (which is Debian based). I wasn't successful to make fcitx, fcitx5, and ibus to really work. I kind of liked Uim though, it was a bit more promising. My plan is to try uim-mozc on Antix and then overwrite the mozc-ut on top of it, by extracting the files from a prebuilt binary found in here: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=mozc-ut, either Andontie AUR x86_64 or Chaotic AUR x86_64 (I won't dare to build it myself!), and hope that this works.

I'll watch your work here on fcitx too. But could you maybe incorporate mozc-ut while you're at it, as in https://archlinux.pkgs.org/rolling/ando ... r.zst.html for example? On Windows, the Google enriched IME is so nice: I start typing and it offers me the kotowaza option I wanted. I suspect the Linux equivalent would be mozc-ut.

32Bit fcitx-mozc for Porteus v5.0rc3 has been built.
Please refer to Japanese locale modules for Porteus (Japanese locale modules for Porteus (Post by neko #83134))

Its constructions is same as 64Bit except fcitx-mozc package.
64Bit: fcitx-mozc package is from Slackonly.
32Bit: fcitx-mozc package is from ArchLinux.
Because fcitx-mozc package is from Slackonly (fcitx-mozc-2.17.2313.102.1-i586-1_slonly.txz) is broken.

neko, Thanks for the updated modules:
SCIM-Anthy (008-scim-anthy-x86_64.xzm) still works
fcitx-mozc (08-fcitx-mozc-x86_64.xzm) is still broken: couldn't activate Ctrl+Space, mozc config wants an old QT4, played with Fcitx GUI and had, the whole desktop became frozen had to restart.

I'm not loving fcitx. Perhaps fcitx5 (and mozc with mozc-ut while we're at it) would be better -- but I guess a lot of work to build. If I learn how to build this stuff myself, I might go with uim -- one time I saw it run I liked the interface and it felt lighter.
