SKIM problem

[Manifold]

Greetings.

Am moderately new to Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but have previously tried Breezy.

I'm having some trouble making SKIM 'work'. Following this link in the wiki: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SC...tu?action=show

.. does not help me. Instruction 6 throws up this error:

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim- ~/.xinput.d/default
cp: cannot stat `/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-': No such file or directory

Skipping step 6, I finish the instructions, restart the computer and try to use SKIM. The default hotkeys bring nothing up. Starting SKIM in command line brings these errors:

X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
 Major opcode: 145
 Minor opcode: 3
 Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device
X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 168
 Major opcode: 145
 Minor opcode: 3
 Resource id: 0x0
Failed to open device

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks,

[Manifold]

Just slightly afraid this will get knocked to the second page. This SCIM/SKIM problem is a recurring problem for me. It didn't work in Breezy either.

Re: SKIM problem

Just quickly comparing the tute step to your code: the tutorial gives the example

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-pinyin ~/.xinput.d/default

I don't know what pinyin is, but whatever it is, you've skipped it in your command.

cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim- ~/.xinput.d/default

Is it a character set? If it's not the one you want, you'll probably just have to type the one you do want.
