The Linux subsystem built into FydeOS currently doesn't support the system's native input method. This poses a challenge for users needing to input non-English languages, particularly for CJK native speakers. To overcome this, you can install a third-party input method for the Linux subsystem. This guide will walk you through the process of installing and configuring the Fcitx input method on FydeOS's Linux subsystem.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
.sudo apt install fcitx fcitx-lib* -y
.im-config
. Note: Avoid running this command as the root user to prevent connection issues.fcitx && fcitx-configtool
.fcitx-diagnose
, and repeat steps 2 and 3.Install the gedit text editor with this command: sudo apt install gedit -y
.
Run the following command to configure the language input environment: sudo gedit /etc/systemd/user/cros-garcon.service.d/cros-garcon-override.conf
.
Append the following lines to the end of the file:
Environment="GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx"
Environment="QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx"
Environment="XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx"
Save the file and close the gedit editor.
sudo gedit ~/.sommelierrc
./usr/bin/fcitx-autostart
.sudo reboot
.Ctrl+Space
.
