In stumpwm
not able to get Hindi "Input Method"  to add in the listing of available
input methods
with

  ibus-setup
command

and started the daemon with

ibus-daemon -r -d  -v

or

ibus-daemon -d -r --xim



While in gnome magically "Hindi" many other more languages are languages
are present
in available input methods.


while


ibus list-engine --name-only
or
ibus list-engine

output in both stumpwm and gnome
not have Hindi listed in it.


these recommended environment variables

  GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
  XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
  QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
  export GTK_IM_MODULE
  export XMODIFIERS
  export QT_IM_MODULE

was set

also checked with

  GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

But the same result.

I had install these packages

                                   "xinput"
                                   "ibus"
                                   "m17n-lib"
                                   "m17n-db"

in user profile

In  gnome

only
  gnome-control-center region

shows Hindi as input method

while in gnome

  ibus-setup

do not shown "Hindi"

like it does in stumpwm

Hi,

I don't know much about the state of ibus in Guix. When last I checked a
few years ago, I couldn't get it to work for Tamil. So, I tried uim and
it worked. Perhaps, just as an immediate workaround until this bug is
addressed, maybe you could try uim?

My uim setup is as follows. You probably need similar.

Contents of ~/.uim
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define default-im-name 'm17n-ta-tamil99)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Relevant environment variables in ~/.bashrc
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE=~/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache
export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE=~/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Regards,
Arun
