| rasmalabar | Hi, I am trying to get SCIM working in Xubuntu. I have installed scim (and its dependencies) as well as scim-modules-table (which has the input method that I want to use). A keyboard icon shows up in the notification area and I can access SCIM setup. However (a) the Ctrl+Space shortcut does not work (b) I cannot figure out how to switch between input methods. Please advise... | 09:39 |
|---|---|---|
| brainwash | rasmalabar: is scim configured to use that keyboard shortcut? also, is the shortcut not defined in Xfce? | 10:52 |
| brainwash | alternative would be IBus which uses super+space | 10:54 |
| rasmalabar | @brainwash SCIM is configured to use Ctrl+Space (which is its default shorctu). The shortcut is not configured in Xfce (I have checked Settings > Keyboard > Application Shortcuts) | 10:54 |
| rasmalabar | GTK_IM_MODULE is set as scim-bridge if that can suggest something... | 10:59 |
| brainwash | rasmalabar: source? | 11:03 |
| brainwash | I mean what instructions did you use to set it up? | 11:04 |
| brainwash | official README? some tutorial? | 11:04 |
| rasmalabar | Mostly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InputMethods/SCIM/Setup . It does not mention about Xubuntu though. | 11:12 |
| rasmalabar | @brainwash I removed scim and installed ibus. Works fine. Ctrl+Space also conflicts with Emacs (if at all I get it to work). So will continue with ibus. Thank you very much for your help and suggestion... | 11:36 |

| Guest87156 | Hey how can I download and install Minecraft installer in synaptic package manager? | 15:22 |
| Guest87156 | Is this possible? I would like to not be dependent on Snap Store and terminal | 15:26 |
| tomreyn | Guest87156: you would need to find an apt repository providing it, then configure this apt repository on your system | 15:27 |
| brainwash | or just download and install the .deb file | 15:28 |
| tomreyn | since this is a proprietary software, for all i know, i would assume that only the developing company would provide such an apt repository, if anyone. | 15:28 |
| Guest87156 | So by standard, does synaptic provide free software but not proprietary software? | 15:32 |
| brainwash | synaptic provides nothing, it's just a graphical frontend | 15:33 |
| Guest87156 | ok | 15:34 |
| brainwash | you can download a .deb file from the minecraft website | 15:34 |
| brainwash | use it to install minecraft | 15:34 |
| Guest87156 | yes i see, thanks | 15:35 |
| tomreyn | to install a *.deb file directly (which should only be done when there is no apt repository available, like here), you download the file, then instruct apt to install it: sudo apt install /path/to/downloaded/package.deb | 15:36 |
| tomreyn | also, before you do this, ensure this software is compatible to your (x)ubuntu release | 15:36 |
| Guest87156 | awesome | 15:37 |
| Guest87156 | i like this chat help | 15:38 |
