I installed ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3.
I also installed ibus-unikey and ibus-bamboo, which are packages required for typing in Vietnamese.
I added the following lines in ~/.bashrc
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
Set ibus daemon to automatically run at startup as ibus-daemon --xim
I also ran im-config, choosing ibus option at user configuration.
And I still cannot type Vietnamese characters. Am I missing any steps? Or am I not providing enough information? Helps are appreciated.
ibus-pinyin
, and then rebooted, I now have Pinyin input for Chinese. Not sure how Vietnamese input works though. For Chinese, I need something called "input method", which is that "ibus-pinyin" I installed.
