Hello.
I am using "GhostBSD 11.1 MATE".
I installed "ja-ibus-mozc" of Japanese conversion software.

I am adding (editing) to ~/.xinitrc file as follows.
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
/usr/local/bin/mozc
start
ibus-daemon -r --daemonize --xim

However, it is not possible to convert Japanese.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please give me a professor.

I'm not using scim or ibus myself, but a friend suggested me the following:
Note also that "ja-ibus-mozc" currently has no maintainer in FreeBSD ports, so that might be part of the problem.

Hope that help!

Thanks a lot ASX.

I have installed "ja-scim-anthy" as well.
"SCIM-Anthy" has been able to convert Japanese without setting anything in particular.

Many thanks.

I'm using ja-ibus-anthy and it works perfectly.

On xfce nothing in .xinitrc is required and I use the zenkaku/hankaku key to change from Japanese to English and back.

Thanks a lot NevilleGoddard.

That is very nice information.
"ja-ibus-anthy" is perfectly working.
Regarding the setting, it is displayed as a message at the time of installation.
My "ja-ibus-mozc" does not work well yet.

Thank you very much.

I installed "ja-ibus-anthy".

The following message was displayed.
ibus-anthy installation finished. To use ibus-anthy, please do the following:
If you are using bash or zsh, please add following lines to your $HOME/.bashrc or
$HOME/.zshrc:
export XIM=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export XIM_PROGRAM="ibus-daemon"
export XIM_ARGS="-r --daemonize --xim"

user $ sudo nano ~/.bashrc
export XIM=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export XIM_PROGRAM="ibus-daemon"
export XIM_ARGS="-r --daemonize --xim"

user $ sudo reboot

"ja-ibus-anthy" did not convert Japanese.

You have to open a terminal and run ibus-setup

Here's a quick start guide to Japanese input on GhostBSD.

Install the following using OctoPkg:

ja-ibus-anthy - This will pull in all the necessary packages for Japanese input

ja-font-takao - Nicer looking fonts but not otherwise necessary.

reboot your machine.

Go to your applications menu and search for IBus-Preferences and launch it. Or open a terminal and a user enter "ibus-setup".

Don't do any editing of .xinitrc - not yet anyway.

In the IBus Preferences window click on the "Input Methods" tab at the top in the middle. You should already have "Japanese-Japanese" in the input window in you are using a Japanese keyboard. If you have a US keyboard it will probably show English (US) or something like that. You now have to add your Japanese input for the keyboard to use.

Then click "Add".

Then scroll down until you see "Japanese". Then click on it.

Select " Aち　Anthy". Then click "Add".

Now you should have 2 input methods- Japanese-Japanese and Aち- Japanese- Anthy.

Now click the "General" tab on the top left.

It will show the method (hot keys) to switch from English to Japanese on the top next to "Next Input Method". I think the default is Ctrl + Space. You can keep these and start using anthy now to type Japanese, but I prefer to use the proper Zenkaku/Hankaku key on my Japanese keyboard.

To change from the default Ctrl+Space to Zenkaku/Hankaku, clisk on the 3 dots next to the bar showing the input method.

In the middle of the window that pops up there will be a Key Code section with a bar showing the Hot Keys. Click on the 3 dots to the right of this.

A window will pop up and in the middle will be a bar that says "Disabled". Click on the "Disabled" bar and press the zenkaku/hankaku button. The window will disappear and you will be back to the previous window . In this window click the "Add" button to add the zenkaku/hankaku shortcut. To get rid of the default shortcut key combination, click on the default entry under "Keyboard Shortcuts" and press the "Delete" button. Then click OK.

Then close IBus-Preferences and try your （日本語入力）　Japanese Input.

Thanks a lot NevilleGoddard.

It will show the method (hot keys) to switch from English to Japanese on the top next to "Next Input Method". I think the default is Ctrl + Space.

My settings
IBUS-anthy "Next Input Method" Super + Space
SCIM-anthy "Next Input Method" Ctrl + Space

Many thanks.
