iBus (Input method) was included in .iso before, and this is included in metapackages now.
but iBus does not boot only by having installed it.

Please add follows to file ~/.profile (Not .initrd, .initrd-custom and .bashrc):

Code: Select all

export XMODIFIERS='@im=IBUS'
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
Please add follows to file ~/.initrd-custom (Not .initrd):

Code: Select all

ibus-daemon -d -x
Please reboot antiX after this.

Addition 1:
Please be careful about a version of ibus varying according to Debian repository,
This has a big change in iBus! :
  • stable(wheezy): iBus 1.4
  • testing(jessie): iBus 1.5
  • unstable(sid): iBus 1.5
Attention 2:
MX-14 cannot use this procedure. Please use im-switch or im-config:

Because development of antiX-14 advances, I add a postscript about antiX-14.

In antiX-14, fcitx is recommended than iBus to become the Debian testing base.
The setting is different conventionally.
Please do not perform a procedure right here in antiX-14.
