How to Chinesify Linux SuSE 9.0?

polyhedron

I'm new for Linux.

I saw many chinesifying pack on internet.
Please recommend me a good Chinese language pack (including font and typing), which is easy to install for a beginner, also easy to use later.

Reply in Chinese is ok.

thanks very much!
Then how about input software? I've downloaded some version of scim, but no idea how to install them... I'm totally beginner.

fyyh

Ich habe viele auf chinesisch geschriebene Dokumente, und wollen sie edieren.
Und ich fand das, nachdem ich einige chinesische Fonts eingestallt wie in diesem Artikel gesagt, wurde das System sehr sehr langsam. Einfach ein Login verbrauchte mir mehr als 10 Minuten...

我算是给Linux折腾够了，看来试图用Linux取代windows行不通。
不过我们有些专业计算软件要用Linux，还是要接着学。
明天开始做Bioinformatics的lab rotation，搞基因组比对。。。

scim有源码，可以下载一个编译安装
中文输入可以下scim的pinyin模块，编译安装
然后LC_CTYPE设置成zh_CN，XMODIFIERS设置成@im=SCIM
我在slackware下是这么做的，没有问题。

scim和少部分软件有冲突。不知道现在的版本解决了这个问题没有


Linux还不错，虽然仍然没有windows方便（习惯使然），不过绝大多数任务都可以胜任了

Hi, maybe i could also share experience with U in Suse.

From 9.0 to now 9.2, i have no problem with suse. Here is my first note with the installation of SCIM:

1. Install all RPM packages of SCIM with YAST, check dependency
2. then in console, type "scim -d", You should find no error!
3. edit /etc/sysconfig/language
    RC_LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.GB2312"
4.download xim from fabian's website: ( http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/misc/xim)
   and save it to ~/.xim
5. restart linux
6. After then, U could find the square box of SCIM at the right bottom corner.
7. "ctrl+space" to active the input method and change to PinYing etc.

good luck!
By the way, U can use open office v.1.13 (now 2.0beta) to write in more professional way.
more ...
stay in english version, with German keyboard, chinese IME! Alles unter Kontrolle :-)

please let me know if that helps.

3x, oUo

Problem:

What does "~/.xim" mean? I'm not familiar with file system of linux yet.
It means to overwrite the file "/etc/X11/xim" ?

～ 是你的 home 目录的别名，比如你当前登录的账号叫 abc ，则linux里这个用户的home目录 /home/abc 可以表示成 ～
linux下很多应用程序都在 ～ 目录下保存自己的设置（功能类似于windows的注册表），一般是创建一个隐藏的目录，习惯做法是软件名前面加一个.符号作为目录名，比如 .kde，.xine，.xmms等等
