Rectification of a small problem with Fedora8

In Fedora, It is very convenient to add Chinese files to the English interface. You only need to do two things: 1. modify/etc/sysconfig/i18n, add LC_CTYPE settings: LANG = "en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE = "zh_CN.UTF-8" SYSFONT = "latarcyrheb-sun16" 2. after scim-pinyin is installed, the system automatically requests the im-ch

In Fedora, It is very convenient to add Chinese files to the English interface. You only need to do two things:

1. Modify/etc/sysconfig/i18n and add LC_CTYPE settings:
LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE = "zh_CN.UTF-8"
SYSFONT = "latarcyrheb-sun16"

2. yum install scim-pinyin
After scim-pinyin is installed, the system automatically enables im-chooser to select the newly installed scim input method.

Then log on again and everything will be Okay.

This method has no problems in FC6 and Fedora 7. but there is a problem with Fedora 8. the problem is that the configuration of the/etc/sysconfig/i18n will be overwritten by the gmtr provided by Fedora 8, leading to invalid configuration.

The simplest way to solve this problem is as follows:
Edit/etc/X11/xinit/Xsession and add:
Unset LANG
Unset GDM_LANG
/Etc/profile. d/lang. sh

Then, log on again and everything is OK.

Note:

My fedora 8 can input Chinese characters on the English interface without such complicated settings.
Select Perference> Personal> Input Method from the System menu and select Enable input method.
You can.

Of course, you must install SCIM and Chinese packages in advance.
