Developers

Packages for Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid)

The MeeGo Input Methods are not in any official Ubuntu repository. However, the packages are available through Launchpad. They are provided to allow development of input method plugins, without the need of using the MeeGo SDK or even scratchbox.

To install the packages, you will need to add two Launchpad PPA's to your system's software sources:

  1. Under System → Administration → Software Sources, select "Other Software"
  2. Add ppa:openismus-team/openismus-meego-im
  3. Add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports (needed for Qt 4.7, on Lucid)
  4. Install meego-keyboard-dev and meegotouch-demos-widgetsgallery (for simple testing) through Synaptics Package Manager

To quickly test your installation, it is recommended to use the widgetsgallery:

  1. Make sure you have a compositing window manager running: Go to System → Appearance, select "Visual Effects" and choose either normal or extra.
  2. Start the meego-im-uiserver (responsible for handling input method plugins and communication with the application): 
 meego-im-uiserver -software -bypass-wm-hint
  1. Test virtual keyboard in MeeGo Touch's widgetsgallery: 
 QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext widgetsgallery
