1. ibus Input Method
After Ubuntu is installed, the ibus input method is provided, which is disabled by default in the English environment.
To configure automatic Startup of ibus, you can select System --- Preferences --- Startup Applications from the ubuntu System menu, and add a program in this window:
Name: ibus-daemon
Command: ibus-daemon-d-x-r

By default, ibus provides relatively poor Chinese input methods, and requires additional installation of ibus-pinyin. The command is as follows:
Sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin

In this case, you also need to start the ibus-pinyin input method. On the ubuntu System menu, Select System --- Preferences --- IBus Preferences. In the Select an Input Method drop-down box on the input method page, Select add Chinese-Pinyin, it is the one with a large "spelling" in the icon, click the Add button, and then use the Up button to move the Input Method to the top.

After the system is restarted, press Ctrl + space to call up the ibus input method.

The ibus input method is good in general, but it cannot be called in some Java programs in my environment, such as Netbeans and OpenProj.

2. fcitx Input Method
Due to ibus defects, I tried fcitx, which is also very good and can be used normally in Java programs, but in this case, the cursor follows some problems, the input interface stops at the bottom of the screen, but is acceptable. It is much better than ibus.

Install fcitx:
Sudo apt-get install fcitx

Start fcitx:
Im-switch-s fcitx

Log out and log on again. fcitx will take effect.
To switch back to ibus, run im-switch-s ibus, log out, and log on again.

Fcitx can also be called by pressing Ctrl + space. In this case, fcitx displays a box in Chinese. Therefore, you need to modify the configuration of fcitx. The configuration file of Fcitx is in ~ /. Fcitx/config. The file is GBK encoded and cannot be displayed normally in Ubuntu. You can perform the following operations on www.linuxidc.com:
Cd ~ /. Fcitx
Iconv-f gbk-t utf8 config> config. tmp

Edit the config. tmp file:
Show font (medium) = WenQuanYi Micro Hei

Show font size = 10

Use bold = 0

Save and exit, and then run the command:
Iconv-f utf8-t gbk config. tmp> config

Log out and log on again. fcitx is normal.

4. Solutions for displaying Chinese characters in the Java program as boxes

The plain text file generated in Windows is encoded as GBK in Chinese and garbled In Ubuntu. You can use the iconv command to convert it:
Iconv-f gbk-t utf8 source_file> target_file

6. convert file name Encoding
For zip files compressed in Windows, Chinese file names are garbled during unzipping In Ubuntu. You can use convmv to solve this problem.
Install convmv:
Sudo apt-get install convmv

Conversion file or directory:
Convmv-f gbk-t utf8-r -- notest *

7. decompress the zip file with garbled characters
In Ubuntu, use unzip to decompress the zip file generated in the Widnows environment. www.linuxidc.com may contain garbled file names or directory names. The solution is to use 7-zip and convmv.

Install 7-zip and convmv:
Sudo apt-get install convmv p7zip-full.

Decompress the zip file:
LANG = C 7z e zip_file
Convmv-f gbk-t utf8-r -- notest *

8. decompress the rarfile with garbled characters.
Decompress the rarfile generated in Windows in ubuntu, and also encounter Chinese garbled characters, such as using 7z to decompress the file.
The solution is to use unrar to decompress the package.

Cd/usr/share/fonts/myfonts/
Sudo mkfontscale
Sudo mkfontdir

* The result is normal without executing the following command:
Sudo fc-cache-f-v
