Hi,

after trying to install chinese input the last weeks, I finally have no idea where to find a working description for kubuntu 11.10.

I was able to install it for kubutung 11.04, but up to now no success with 11.10 :(

I tried (this worked for 11.04 like a charm):
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/wiki/ReadMe

but unfortunately, the "Shawn ppa" is not available for oneiric. So I tried without them (using just the packets in the distribution) and with an old version from Shawn.
Result was always, that I can input chinese, but there's no keyboard in the menu bar at the botton of the screen. And more important: when typing Chinese characters, the menu for selecting the characters does not appear (so it's useless).

Does anybody has installed this stuff and knows how to get it up and running!?

Thanks for any help,
ixo

PS: I myself cannot read / write Chinese :oops:
