View Full Version : How to enable east asian languages on 6.2.1
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 >.<)

Follow the instruction here will be good :-

For chinese input, I use 'fcitx'.

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...

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
