(ERROR-25191 /build/fcitx-PSoVA1/fcitx-4.2.9.1/src/frontend/xim/xim.c:240) Start XIM error. Another XIM daemon named fcitx is running?

indicates that fcitx has started

Under Input Methods from fcitx-diagnose, you have only one method enabled fcitx-keyboard-us. You need to add at least one, for example, googlepinyin
