== Installing ==
+
-
 
+
-
=== Meego ===
+
-
Meego Input Methods comes preinstalled on:
+
-
* Meego Handset UX 1.1 and later
+
-
* Meego Tablet UX 1.2 and later
+
-
 
+
-
'''Meego Netbook UX'''
+
-
 
+
-
These steps have been tested on Meego 1.1.
+
-
 
+
-
* Enable the 'handset' repository. For example:
+
-
 
+
-
$ sudo zypper addrepo <nowiki>http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.1/handset/repos/ia32/packages/</nowiki> handset
+
-
$ sudo zypper refresh
+
-
 
+
-
* Install these packages:
+
-
** meegotouch-inputmethodbridges
+
-
** meegotouch-inputmethodkeyboard.
+
-
* Modify <code>/etc/xdg/autostart/meego-im-uiserver.desktop</code> to look like this:
+
-
 
+
-
[Desktop Entry]
+
-
Exec=/usr/bin/meego-im-uiserver -target slate -bypass-wm-hint
+
-
X-Moblin-Priority=High
+
-
OnlyShowIn=X-MEEGO-HS;X-MEEGO-NB
+
-
 
+
-
This will work with 1024x600 resolution. Replace 'slate' with other code if you have different resolution. See /etc/meegotouch/devices.conf for different codes.
+
-
 
+
-
* Add this line to ~/.bashrc (any better place in X configs? /etc/X11/xinitrc-common failed for me) to activate the inputmethod plugin for Qt-based programs:
+
-
export QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext
+
-
 
+
-
* Relogin (or reboot) to desktop
+
-
 
+
-
=== Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid Lynx / 10.10 Maveric Meerkat) ===
+
-
The MeeGo Input Methods are not yet in any official Ubuntu repository. However, the packages are available through [http://launchpad.net Launchpad]. They are provided to ease 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:
+
-
* Under System → Administration → Software Sources, select "Other Software" '''or'''
+
-
**Alternatively you can run Synaptics Package Manager and choose the menu ''Setting'' --> ''Package Sources'' where you can add the following PPA's in the tab "Other Software"
+
-
*<code>Add ppa:openismus-team/openismus-meego-im</code>
+
-
*<code>Add ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports</code> (needed for Qt 4.7, on Lucid/Meerkat)
+
-
*Install meego-keyboard-dev and meegotouch-demos-widgetsgallery (for simple testing) through Synaptics Package Manager '''or'''
+
-
**using this command line command(make sure that Synaptics is closed already):
+
-
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install meego-keyboard-dev meegotouch-demos-widgetsgallery
+
-
 
+
-
=== Debian, and Ubuntu derivatives ===
+
-
You might be able to use the packages above.
+
-
 
+
-
=== Arch Linux ===
+
-
Preliminary git packages are available [http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=meegotouch-input&do_Search=Go in AUR]
+
-
 
+
-
=== Other GNU/Linux ===
+
-
Grab the source source code from the git repositories above.
+
-
 
+
-
Meego Input Methods uses the qmake build system. So, to do a standard build and install, do:
+
-
qmake
+
-
make
+
-
make install
+
-
 
+
-
'''Dependencies'''
+
-
* All components have a hard dependency on Qt 4.7.
+
-
* Framework uses libmeegotouch by default. Pass CONFIG+=nomeegotouch to qmake to disable.
+
-
* Keyboard uses meego feedback framework (with reactionmaps) by default. Pass CONFIG+=noreactionmaps to qmake to disable.
+
-
* Keyboard currently has a hard dependency on libmeegotouch.
+
-
 
+
-
Work is ongoing to reduce the amount of dependencies in the different components.
+
-
 
+
-
== Using ==
+
-
To quickly test your installation, it is recommended to use the widgetsgallery:
+
-
# Make sure you have a compositing window manager running: Go to System → Appearance, select "Visual Effects" and choose either normal or extra.
+
-
# Start the meego-im-uiserver (responsible for handling input method plugins and communication with the application) using a shell:
+
-
  meego-im-uiserver -software -bypass-wm-hint
+
-
# Test virtual keyboard in MeeGo Touch's widgetsgallery (in a seperate shell):
+
-
  QT_IM_MODULE=MInputContext widgetsgallery
+
-
 
+
-
To integrate it with your system or product, use the distro-recommended way to start above daemon and setting the environment variable for all applications.

No, this bug is for MeeGo proper.

I've filed the bug in the Harmattan bugzilla too:

As I said here: http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=24704&postcount=13 I suggest to split the bug in two, - The Japanese Input - The sliding feature

> We will also need engine support.

There are many open source possibilities, the most efficient ones are in my opinion Anthy and Mozc.

If I misunderstood what you mean please forgive me.

I'm investigating a similar crash issue related to corewatcher.

Could you test it without corewatcher to see if you still meet any crash: After meego-im-uiserver launched, kill corewatcher process and do the same tests.

Note that without corewatcher, you can still find core files under /tmp with the PID when it is core dumping. (You might need "ulimit -c unlimited" to enable core dump.)

Hi, I have analyzed it and created a merge request at https://gitorious.org/maliit/maliit-plugins/merge_requests/7

Please look at it.

that time is up and the proposed fix doesn't apply since it involves a package that is not part of 1.2 and shifting everything over to the new codebase at this extreme late hour would be an unacceptable risk.

This.... and none of the meego-ux apps are impacted by this bug. For 1.3 it's easy, we include the change to use the new libmaliit and we are done with it.
