Install Fcitx+sougou IME on Linux Mint KDE

Today in Korea's total discarded notebook installed Linux Mint system, after the first thing to think about is to install an input method, because the system comes with the Input method framework is IBUs, I tried to find it is not humane, so decided to change the Fcitx+sougou:

• Delete IBUs: Execute sudo apt-get remove ibus* at the command line or search for IBUs in the software manager, then delete the installed and IBUs input methods related
• Installing Qt4-config for custom QT environments: sudo apt-get install Qt4-qtconfig
• Install Fcitx Input Method framework: sudo apt-get install fcitx;
• Download Sogou ime for linux:http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/
• Installation process: http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/help.php
• Install KDE-CONFIG-FCITX for configuration FCITX: Search directly in Software manager KDE-CONFIG-FCITX
• Install Im-switch switch the IME to Fcitx:sudo apt-get install Im-switch

At this point, it is reasonable to say that you can use FCITX, but you encounter the following problems:

• Ctrl-space call does not come out fcitx, and found in qt4-config program switch input method that column can not see FCITX option, search on the internet a variety of programs are not reliable, finally to FCITX official website to see the following reminder:

Https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Configure_%28Ubuntu%29

　　for Qt/kubuntu, Qt4_im_module is not set to an environment variable because of an inconsistent im-switch environment variable setting.

1. Don't forget to install Fcitx-frontend-qt4

2. Install the qt4-qtconfig, and run the Qtconfig-qt4, and select the Interface tab FCITX

So at this point also need to install FCITX-FRONTEND-QT4, directly in the Software manager search the Gtk2 gtk3 and Qt4 qt5 of frontend are loaded together

• After the above are completed in the Qt4-config can choose Fcitx and then log off the user re-login can see the FCITX, the system up after the lower right corner of the small penguin
• After completing the above need to pay attention to the FCITX input method configuration needs to put the keyboard English first, so that it can be smoothly in the Chinese and English between the switch, otherwise it will not be able to switch to English input

　　

• After the completion of the above has been able to switch between Chinese and English and normal input, but there is a problem, in the X can not display the input box, this is a big problem, the solution is to install Fcitx-ui-classic:sudo Apt-get installed Fcitx-ui-classic

　　

In fact, this installation process so twists and turns a major reason is not to read the official wiki, in fact, in this wiki to many of the problems described in detail, but I am more persistent in search engines to search out the answer, but wasted a lot of time.
