I just remembered, last time I tried (in 8.04) it wasn’t intuitive to get Japanese input system working (and I don’t bother finding how to do that), now I tried Ubuntu 8.10, curious how to do that, I do quick google and find this relatively informative page how to do that. Too bad it’s only informative, not simple.
If anyone know how to do it in much simpler way please let me know too. 😐
whew…
what a useless forum…
they just make linux seems harder….
well.. this text written from ubuntu 8.10 :p
笑って
yes the worst part is you can’t write them directly to the browser…
but it works for gedit
now…
try this…
make sure you have internet access
click system->administration->language support
there’s a list of language supported by ubuntu
check Japanese
click details
check all items
click OK
just wait until installation finished
now open synaptic package manager
on system->administration
type ‘scim’ and ‘anthy’ on the search box separated by space
check
anthy
scim
scim-anthy
click apply
to make sure…
hold and tap alt-F2
on the text box right-click
choose scim input methods
now there is a keyboard icon at the systray
left-click it
you can see a crown icon and “Japanese-Anthy” text
click it…
try to type some words…
basically scim work just like IME on windows…
whew…
gw mestinya buat artikel nih…
kirim ke PCplus :p
sounds simpler and doesn’t work with many apps (and ugly font?). And you forgot to include Tomoe for handwriting recognition (yes I’m using something like that on Windows). Good solution.
And why does the installer contains many apps but doesn’t include international input system.
