How to enable east asian languages on 6.2.1

[kcah]

I am new to knoppix, but this is the only thing the runs great on all the machines I have encounter so far.

If I could just enable the east asian language support (chinese in particular), it would be perfect.

if some one ask this before... I am sorry... i search the forums and found nothing...
(need to improve my searching skills >.<)

omegad omegad!!! it worked!!!! I am now officially a very happy linux user!!! ALL Hail Knoppix and kl522!!!!

hmm...
I also want traditional chinese input... *limitless greed* (part of human nature)
what do you recommand for that...
pingyin is fine... but i want traditional chinese fonts

You hava a choice of various software such as scim, ibus, fcitx ..... All these support pinyin and traditional chinese. I believe all of them have debian packages for it. Just bring up Synaptic to install it.

i try to install ibus and i won't install T.T... i installed scim.... but it won't lanch T.T.... i guess fcitx is next then...

[kl522]

What is T.T ? I have used all of these before:- scim, ibus, and fcitx. I am pretty sure that all work with traditional chinese. Currently I am using fcitx. If you cannot get it to work, likely it's the setup problem because knoppix is not exactly the same as debian or ubuntu - the debian packages may miss a few steps from setting things up completely. There will be environment variables need to be setup and some programs need to be running in /etc/xdg/autostart.

Are you just trying to type in Chinese ? Why don't you simply use:

setxkbmap -option '' 'us,cn' 'grp:alt_shift_toggle'

With this you will be able to switch between us and chinese using Alt+Shift
If this works for you, simply put this command in /home/knoppix/.xsessionrc and you are done. You don't need fancy programs just to use keyboard

Obviously with the chinese isn't that simple - sorry for my uniformed opinion

oh... (T.T) a is crying face... two line of tears going down ones face...
