Making fcitx work under Lubuntu 21.10

  • 772

Following up on Making fcitx work under Lubuntu 18.04

I've got all the fcitx packages I believe:

 fcitx_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-bin_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-config-common_0.4.10-3
 fcitx-config-gtk_0.4.10-3
 fcitx-data_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-frontend-all_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-frontend-gtk2_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-frontend-gtk3_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-frontend-qt5:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2
 fcitx-googlepinyin:amd64_0.1.6-4build1
 fcitx-module-dbus_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-module-kimpanel_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-module-lua_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-module-x11_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-modules_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx-ui-classic_1:4.2.9.8-3
 fcitx5-module-quickphrase-editor:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2
 libfcitx-config4:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3
 libfcitx-core0:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3
 libfcitx-gclient1:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3
 libfcitx-qt5-1:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2
 libfcitx-qt5-data_1.2.5-1ubuntu2
 libfcitx-utils0:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3

But my fcitx config is still showing empty methods:

I've tried both fcitx-config-gtk3 and fcitx-configtool. Both showing empty methods.

Consequently using hot key trying to invoke/trigger fcitx has no effect at all.

Anybody can help?

    You need to launch the fcitx daemon and configure your system to use fcitx.

    • Open Input Method Configuration
    • Select fcitx as the user configuration
    • Reboot

    Now you should see a fcitx icon and be able to add input methods to your liking.
