ibus-anthy can not input Japanese on guixSD 1.0.1

ibus-anthy can not input Japanese on guixSD 1.0.1

[荒井吉則]

Hello guix,

I am here 10 month ago and now I am back. I installed guixSD v1.0.1 on
Onkyo M511A5.

I was using gnome and xfce de for few days but I did not know how to set up
Japanese font on gdm, I also could not change desktop on gdm and I met the
issue I could not login after system reconfigure.

Now I don't use de but use cwm, i3 window manager with slim display manager.
I don't meet the issue with gdm.

I installed ibus-anthy for Japanese but can not input Japanese because
Japanese -anthy input method is missing on ibus-setup.

I found below article in help-guix archives and follow it.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2018-08/msg00083.html

My dot.xinitrc which is linked dot.xsession is as follows,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/run/current-system/profile/bin/sh

# keyboardlayout
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout jp &

# root color
xsetroot -solid "#333333"

# lang
#export LANG=ja_JP.utf8

# ibus-anthy
export GTK_DATA_PREFIX=/run/current-system/profile

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

ibus-daemon -drx

exec $1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can not yet input Japanese with ibus-anthy.

I installed ibus, anthy, ibus-anthy and python....

I found python ...ibus-anthy/engine/main.py --ibus missing.

I had that problem too and reported a bug about it a few months ago. See

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=35610

The instructions in Message #38 worked for me.
