Hello!
I have just moved to Japan and I bought the "ATOK X3 for Linux" software to properly input Japanese characters.
It is a marvelous piece of software that I was already using in Windows and I paid it a premium but I think it was worth the money.
Anyway, I managed to install it on Ubuntu 17.10, even if it is quite an old version. I followed the two guides below:
#1 Japanese (http://r03.nurse.medic.mie-u.ac.jp/Ubuntu/UbuntuXenial.html#sec12) English (https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fr03.nurse.medic.mie-u.ac.jp%2FUbuntu%2FUbuntuXenial.html%23sec12&sandbox=1)
#2 Japanese (https://sicklylife.jp/ubuntu/1404/settings.html#atok_in) English (https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fsicklylife.jp%2Fubuntu%2F1404%2Fse ttings.html%23atok_in)
Now everything is working except for a little but annoying thing, apparently completely unrelated to the software.
The thing is that in the gnome-terminal the blinking cursor that shows the position is gone.
As soon as the ATOK software is started the cursor disappears, just like as the command
setterm -cursor off was issued.
Again I am not talking about the mouse cursor. Only the blinking cursor in the terminal.
Do you know how could I bring it back? Typing anything in the terminal has become a real pain in the back!
Thank you
