[09:39] <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...
[10:52] <brainwash> rasmalabar: is scim configured to use that keyboard shortcut? also, is the shortcut not defined in Xfce?
[10:54] <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)
[10:59] <rasmalabar> GTK_IM_MODULE is set as scim-bridge if that can suggest something...
[11:03] <brainwash> rasmalabar: source?
[11:04] <brainwash> I mean what instructions did you use to set it up?
[11:04] <brainwash> official README? some tutorial?
[11:12] <rasmalabar> Mostly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InputMethods/SCIM/Setup . It does not mention about Xubuntu though.
[11:36] <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...
[15:22] <Guest87156> Hey how can I download and install Minecraft installer in synaptic package manager?
[15:26] <Guest87156> Is this possible? I would like to not be dependent on Snap Store and terminal
[15:27] <tomreyn> Guest87156: you would need to find an apt repository providing it, then configure this apt repository on your system
[15:28] <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.
[15:32] <Guest87156> So by standard, does synaptic provide free software but not proprietary software?
[15:33] <brainwash> synaptic provides nothing, it's just a graphical frontend
[15:34] <Guest87156> ok
[15:34] <brainwash> you can download a .deb file from the minecraft website
[15:34] <brainwash> use it to install minecraft
[15:35] <Guest87156> yes i see, thanks
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <Guest87156> awesome
[15:38] <Guest87156> i like this chat help
