A problem about pinyin, input method, alpha2.

[lanbo]

Hi everybody,

I just posted a bug to https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8003 , but this is my first bug report for Mageia, I don't know if it is a bug or if I did the right thing.

The problem is that I can use ibus-pinyin input method to type Chinese. But the setting window of ibus pinyin is totally useless, whatever I set, it become default setting immediately. Some detail informations are in the bugzilla. There is also a screen picture on the attachment.

So if you have any idea, or if I did something wrong, please help.

Thank you so much,

Sincerely,

Bo

I have no idea, but the bug looks OK so far. Problem is we don't have that much chinese users in the forum,
and the only packager i know who could take care or could know about specific ibus problems is mostly quite busy :/
I've put him on CC.

Thank you for your good work doktor. I can totally understand that maintainers may be busy.

I believe there will be more and more people in the future, and everything will be better.

Thanks again!

Hi, all,

I checked a post which was posted by one of the ibus and pinyin authors. He said that the problem probably is caused by the dconf prefer to use lowercase for key name, while ibus-libpinyin uses uppercase.

This is his original post: https://github.com/libpinyin/ibus-libpinyin/issues/3

It seems that he patched the bug already in his code. However, the ibus-libpinyin is a little different from ibus-pinyin. It is just the default Chinese input method in Fedora right now, but no package in Mageia.

I will try to compile it, and if it works well, I will try to learn how to make a package for Mageia.
