# /usr/sbin/htt_server -d
I'm glad to know the above command and the debug switch. Thanks.
James, I apologize to intercept the thread on Japanese input. Below is
Chinese input, but the problem is not a lot different - I think.
I have IIIMF and the GNOME desktop; I enjoy the ability to read
Chinese characters in my emails and see them in many applications.
That is good...Super.
However, I am not thrilled with IIIMF yet, because I cannot use it
effectively. With the debug message, I can identify several occasions
where the conversion mode is toggled off:
Toggle client conversion mode to false.
When using gedit, every time I type a space character, the conversion
mode turns off by itself. CTRL-Space also turned off the conversion
mode. There might be more situation where the conversion mode is
turned off.
Once the conversion mode is turned off, it cannot be turned on
conveniently - CTRL-Space definitely doesn't work. Gimlet is as buggy
as it can be at this point. When the space character turned conversion
mode off, it reduced to a small button without a label on it. Clicking
on it, I found that "English" is checked.
The only way I can turn the conversion mode on is by clicking on
Gimlet and choose "Simplified Chinese". Right-click in gedit and from
the context menu choose Input Methods/Internet-Intranet Input Method
doesn't turn the conversion mode on - Gimlet displays a empty label.
Switching between application windows, Gimlet may sometimes display
英文, that is "English" in Chinese characters. Clicking on Gimlet shows
that Simplified Chinese in checked, not "English" as displayed. The
conversion mode was not turned on - there is no way to turn it on
until you go through the clicking process to check Simplified Chinese
again.
Too often conversion mode is turned off unintentionally and one needs
to start all over again to turn it on. That discounted my experience
with IIIMF a lot.
There are several other problems:
I couldn't switch between Simplified Chinese input method anymore. I
did it once or twice with CTRL-ALT-4 awkwardly, when FC2 was first
released, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
I gave up adding Traditional Chinese to the list - Gimlet crashed and
randomly changed its menu one or two times too often. I added
Traditional Chinese, a crash (I forgot if I killed it because it
simply wasn't behaving) will take it out.
I have no idea what ASCII mode is. Why it just suddenly appeared in
the menu and I think I lost "English", for a while. It didn't work to
input ASCII too.
Although, I provided a list of problems, I can see that a lot of the
mechanism are already there. A few polishing in UI components might
solve most of the problems I am experiencing.
Thank you all for advancing the International support on Linux!
Pls.: Is there a guide on this version of Chinese input methods? I'm
not very good at any Chinese input method, but I learned a little of
two input methods before. I just need to learn it/them more
comprehensively. Even a database of what keystrokes yield what
character(s) will be a good reference for me. Thanks.

BTW I couldn't find which version are you using from your
mails (but you said the latest packages)
Pleas make sure anyway:
- you have installed the latest updated im-sdk packages. the
latest version is 11.4-46.svn1587. if you have installed
it correctly, try rpm -qa | grep iiimf, and you will see:
iiimf-client-lib-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires)
iiimf-client-lib-devel--11.4-46.svn1587 (optional)
iiimf-csconv-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires)
iiimf-docs-11.4-46.svn1587 (optional)
iiimf-emacs-11.4-46.svn1587 (optional)
iiimf-gtk-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for gtk2 apps)
iiimf-le-canna-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for Japanese)
iiimf-le-hangul-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for Korean)
iiimf-le-newpy-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for Simplified Chinese, but iiimf-le-inpinyin is recommended)
iiimf-le-unit-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for others)
iiimf-protocol-lib-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires)
iiimf-protocol-lib-devel-11.4-46.svn1587 (optional)
iiimf-server-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires)
iiimf-x-11.4-46.svn1587 (requires for X apps)
- sorry for the reminder, but run your terminal and check
the environment variable again. if you configure it
correctly, you can find out the below as the result of
printenv command:
XMODIFIERS=@im=htt
GTK_IM_MODULE=iiim
- as you indicated, the processes is running looks
good. however please stop the processes (I meant htt,
htt_server, httx and htt_xbe. please keep running
cannaserver) first to track this issue down. and run it
manually on the terminal instead of. like this:
# service IIim stop
# killall httx
# ps -efw | grep htt | grep -v grep
(you won't see any output here)
# /usr/sbin/htt_server -d
and on the another terminal:
# /usr/bin/httx
and then, run the KDE applications from the another
terminal and press ctrl+space.
what do you see on each terminals?
