Korean input with Nabi ****

[mikwig]

This is how to get Korean input working within Dapper - Gnome,
using nabi as the input method.

Step 1

you need to install the packages nabi and im-switch.
sudo apt-get install nabi im-switch

Step 2

You will need to setup the environment for gnome to use nabi.
Start by creating a file in your home directory named .gnomerc
gedit ~/.gnomerc

Copy and paste the following into the file.
export XMODIFIERS="@im=nabi"
export XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/nabi
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
nabi &

Save the file

Step 3

Tell im-switch to use nabi
im-switch -s nabi

Now restart the x-server by pressing {Ctrl}-{Alt}-{Backspace}

If you recieve and error (in Korean) or your nabi box is blank all of
the time then your locale setting needs to be changed to a korean
locale or a utf-8 compatible one
eg. en_AU.UTF-8

The button to switch between English/Korean is {shift}-{Space}
You can select other buttons by right clicking the Nabi tray Icon
selecting preferences and then the hangul tab followed by {+add}
I chose the evil windows button as my input switcher (take that ms)

I followed your method and installed Nabi.

The Nabi icon shows up on the panel, and when I press shift + space the icon switches between Korean and English.

However, when I type, it still types in English.

What might be the problem?

Thanks in advance.

The issue was solved when I uninstalled the Nabi package downloaded from the Ubuntu repository, and I installed the source tar.gz from nabi.kldp.org.

Here is my experience.
I followed the first poster's instructions. All went well. I didn't need to download and extract the tar file like the previous poster.

My setup: ubuntu 6.10 amd64, Jan 9, 2007

The instructions worked perfectly well for me also. No idea what might be causing an error, but I'd reinstall everything and see. Also, if you're trying to type in a word processor and text isn't appearing, you might check that Korean fonts are installed/selected.

You need to change between 2불 and 3불.

I have switched back to scim again - in that it is stable again, and can also do Japanese.

This tutorial works for Hardy Heron as is.
