I finally got it to work. I've installed everything related to scim (apart from scim_uim). Once scim is launched (you have the icon) and if it does not work, try the following. Open gedit and right click in the text area. Click on "Input method" and change it to scim. Now the ctrl+space and left click on icon should work. If it works, try having the same setup as me. Here is my working setup, adapt it to yours:
In ls /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/, you will notice two files (among others): scim and scim-immodule They are script files, in the scim file they are references to xim, and that does not work for me. So we want to use the scim-immodule as suggested by Ming Hua. I've typed this in a terminal (my lang is fr_FR, adapt it with yours): im-switch -z fr_FR -s scim-immodule this creates a link from your home folder to the abose script, ie for me ~/.xinput.d/fr_FR -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-immodule also, my ~/.scim/global file has the following content (again, adapt): /DefaultKeyboardLayout = French /DisabledIMEngineFactories = /SupportedUnicodeLocales = fr_FR.UTF-8 /DefaultConfigModule = kconfig Reload X and see if it works. With this setup, everything works again as before in all application (Gnome, KDE, firefox...). -- scim doesn't activate on ctrl+space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133803 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
