It must has been a while since I last used Japanese input on my Linux
system - I have just realized that I can no longer select Japanese
Input (Anthy) from Gnome on my Guix OS.

It use to be there but no longer.

 

It is not shown as an Input Choice, either.


GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE are set in my
bash_profile
~$ cat .bash_profile
export GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-
2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache" 
export GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE="$HOME/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-
3.0/3.0.0/immodules-gtk3.cache" 
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/co/private/bin:$HOME/.npm-global/bin"
export GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus
# Honor per-interactive-shell startup file
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc; fi
~$ 



~$ echo $GUIX_GTK2_IM_MODULE_FILE 
/home/yasu/.guix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules-gtk2.cache
~$ echo $GUIX_GTK3_IM_MODULE_FILE

If you happen to be using Japanese Input on Guix + Gnome, please let me
know!  I would like to compare with a working system!

Can you try running ~rm -rf ~/.cache/ibus~? That usually fixes it 
for me.

Hi yasu,

My .bash_profile contains the following additional settings.

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

However, since you say it suddenly disappeared from the options, it may
be a problem that can be resolved by deleting the cache.

I solved all my ibus-anthy problems by reading and trying the following
issue's content.

Thank you everyone!  ありがとうございました!
I deleted the whole ~/.cache directory, and restarted my computer - it
seems to have done the trick.  (Although not 100% certain because my
"experiment" was not completely controlled...)

It's a travesty that such a simple thing fails without a lot of
explanation... Maybe some kind of automatic end-user testing is what we
need?  If there is a set of UI tests I can run frequently, that would
be great!

I recently reported an issue where one of the symptoms is that Japanese Anthy disappears as an input option. See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55098.

What Dominic suggests used to fix some issues for me too, but not in this case.
