[Uim-bugs] [Bug 18139] New: UIM will not change input method, and uim-pref crashes etc .

http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18139

           Summary: UIM will not change input method, and uim-pref crashes
                    etc.
           Product: UIM
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: uim-bugs@...
        ReportedBy: Charon72M@...


To be honest I'm not entirely sure whether this is a bug or something wrong
with my system, but I feel I've tried about everything with little or no
success. This is a multi-tiered problem:
-uim-toolbar-gtk and uim-toolbar-gtk-systray will appear when run but will
never change from the default uim logo; uim-toolbar-applet is the only one that
seems to change
-uim-pref-gtk, uim-pref-qt, and uim-im-switcher-qt all crash after a few
seconds with "Segmentation fault" error, uim-im-switcher-gtk does not crash
-uim-im-switcher-gtk is entirely blank, even when one or more input methods
have been installed and are recognized by uim
-uim will not change from its default IM (direct), due in part to the inability
to run preferences.

I am running uim 1.4.1 (installed out of ubuntu's repository) in Ubuntu 8.04
running GNOME. The same exact issue occurs with uim 1.5.3 compiled from source.
The command "export | grep im" lists the following:
declare -x GTK_IM_MODULE="uim"
declare -x QT_IM_MODULE="uim"
declare -x XIM_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/uim-xim"
declare -x XMODIFIERS="@im=uim"

And the following packages are (currently) installed: uim, uim-anthy,
uim-applet-gnome, uim-applet-kde, uim-common, uim-fep, uim-gtk2.0, uim-qt,
uim-utils, uim-xim, libuim5, libuim-data, and any other essential uim files. I
have tried this with both none and every extension installed, all of which were
exactly the same.

I have had similar issues with uim ever since I first installed it and have not
been able to find any other examples of this happening. After countless hours
of troubleshooting, this is essentially my last resort. Is there perhaps
something I'm overlooking, or any other data which may assist in fixing this
problem?

It seems something related to the mixup of the versions causes your current
situation.  To clear the things out, I suggest removing uim related ubuntu
packages completely and just install uim 1.5.3 from source, and also remove
config  (rm -rf ~/.uim.d/) before using uim.

> The command "export | grep im" lists the following:

These environmental variables seem fine.

Maybe uim-en mailing list (http://groups.google.com/group/uim-en) is more
suitable for these kind of trouble shootings.
