How to set up pinyin input in Qubes
-----------------------------------
1. Don't try to install anything in Dom0.
1. In the TemplateVM in which the AppVMs you would like to use pinyin input is based, please install `ibus-pinyin` via the package manager or terminal. If the template is Fedora-based, run `sudo dnf install ibus-pinyin`, if the template is Debian-based, run `sudo apt install ibus-pinyin`
2. Choose a TemplateVM in which you will be using pinyin input on AppVM
instances thereof and open a terminal there.
2. Close and shut down the TemplateVM.
3. Issue `sudo yum install ibus-pinyin` (or, for a Debian template,
`sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin`).
4. Close and shut down the TemplateVM.
5. Restart an AppVM which inherits from the template and open a terminal.
3. Restart an AppVM which based on the template you installed `ibus-pinyin` and open a terminal.
6. Issue `ibus-setup`.
4. Run `ibus-setup`
7. You will likely get the error message telling you to paste
5. You will likely get the error message telling you to paste the following into your bashrc:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
into your bashrc.
Copy the text, and then issue: `sudo nano ~/.bashrc`
Paste the text into the bottom of the file and press ctrl-x to save and
close.
Copy the text into your `~/.bashrc` file with your favorite text editor.
You will need to do this on any AppVM in which you wish to use pinyin input.
8. Setup ibus input as you like using the graphical menu (add pinyin or
intelligent pinyin to selections). You can bring the menu back by issuing
`ibus-setup` from a terminal.
6. Set up ibus input as you like using the graphical menu (add pinyin or intelligent pinyin to selections). You can bring the menu back by issuing `ibus-setup` from a terminal.
9. Use super-space as you are used to using to switch between pinyin-unicode and
Latin character input.
7. Set up your shortcut for switching between inputs, by default it is super-space.
10. Whenever you restart one of these AppVMs, you will need to open a terminal
and issue `imsettings-switch ibus` to activate ibus.
If ibus-pinyin is not enabled when you restart one of these AppVMs, open a terminal and run `ibus-setup` to activate ibus again.
