Hello all. I have just installed Kubuntu 9.04 on a Dell "Studio 15". It certainly looks very slick. Trouble is, I can't quite see how to activate Japanese input.
In "Regional & Language - System Settings | Country/Region and Language" I have "US English" and "Japanese": to the best of my knowledge, I've both "added" and "installed" Japanese. (Though I have to confess that I don't know what this means.) At one stage in this the computer downloaded and installed a number of packages, and wanted rebooting; no error message during any of that.
I expect to see some mention of "SCIM" and/or "Anthy" somewhere. (That is or those are what I've seen on older (K)Ubuntu systems.) Can't see it/them anywhere.
In "Regional & Language - System Settings | Keyboard Layout", nothing seems obviously relevant. There are two "Japanese keyboard options" but the first appears to be for a keyboard whose hardware has a Japanese layout (mine doesn't) and the second is inscrutable. There's "Key(s) to change layout" which to me sounds like something to switch between QWERTY and AZERTY or similar; thinking that it might be misnamed for what I wanted, I set it to Right-Alt, but this doesn't obviously do anything.
What I don't see anywhere is "Key(s) to toggle FEP/IME" or similar.
Shift-Space (which worked on an old Kubuntu system) does nothing, Ctrl-Space (which works on Ubuntu 8.04) does nothing ... what have I forgotten?
