Uim/Troubleshooting

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

[edit] Uim doesn't work with GTK

If you can use uim everywhere except in GTK+ applications, the problem lies most likely with the GTK immodule. You will need to:

1. Run the following commands:

 $ gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > /tmp/gtk.immodules.current
 $ diff -u /tmp/gtk.immodules.current $(locate gtk.immodules | grep gtk-2.0) > /tmp/gtk.immodules.diff

2. Send the following files and information to mailto:uim-en@googlegroups.com

• /tmp/gtk.immodules.current
• /tmp/gtk.immodules.diff
• Your OS distribution and version

[edit] Last resort

If you have tried everything in the book and nothing helps you can always:

1. Remove all uim-related packages (uim, dictionaries, GTK+ and Qt).
2. Reboot
3. Reinstall

This is, naturally, a lousy solution to any problem and it is impossible to predict its effectiveness, but we shouldn't complain if it gets the job done.
