中文輸入法(gcin)更新
June 29, 2008 – 1:01 pmEee PC 原來的中文輸入法套件 gcin 是已經有新版本推出，版本為 1.4.2，比華碩原來的版本，這個版本除了修正一些問題之後，還有新的功能，包括：
1. 螢幕小鍵盤，可以在螢幕上輸入文字
2. 簡體<->繁體轉換，例如可以使用繁體倉頡輸入繁體的文字，自動轉換成簡體輸出
3. 加入香港比較多人使用的速成/簡易輸入法
詳細的改變可以參考這裡，或者到 gcin 網址 看。
新版本的 gcin 會在今天更新到 XEPC.org 軟體庫，只要把 XEPC.org 軟體庫 加入系統更新清單，就可以用 sudo apt-get update 和 sudo apt-get install gcin 指令升級了，升級後請重新開機。

用 sudo apt-get install gcin
但系統說我的版本是最新的了…
有以下信息:
Reading package lists…
Building dependency tree…
gcin is already the newest version.
You might want to run `apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine: Depends: winbind but it is not going to be installed
為什麼depends wine 的…. 我現在的輸入法沒有 “簡易” 的… 應該不是 1.4.2..
.
oh 我用的是 eee 900 linux 版

Re: baddog
wine應該不會依賴 winbind 的，請問你的 wine 是不是用 XEPC 上的版本?
如果不是，可以先跑 sudo dpkg -r libwine-oss 移除這個過時的套件，然後跑 sudo apt-get -f install 來修正 wine 的安裝問題。

lazyfai,
1. 為什麼 gcin 會depends on wine 的
2. 先前用apt-get install wine 跑出很多umet dependencies
Reading package lists…
Building dependency tree…
You might want to run `apt-get -f install’ to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine: Depends: wine-bin (= 1.0.0-1+eeepc2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: wine-utils (= 1.0.0-1+eeepc2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libwine-alsa (= 1.0.0-1+eeepc2) but it is not going to be installed or

用 sudo apt-get -f install, 再 apt-get install wine 可安裝 wine 了.. 但只是 0.9.25 不是 1.0版
3. 安裝的wine 0.9.25 跑中文程式出亂碼… 請問有能跑 中文程式的 wine 嗎
4. 以下是我的source.list
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p900/ p900 main
deb http://update.eeepc.asus.com/p900/en/ p900 main
deb http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2/ etch main contrib non-free
deb http://dccamirror.xandros.com/dccri/ dccri-3.0 main
deb http://www.geekconnection.org/ xandros4 main
deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/eeepcrepos/ p701 main etch
deb http://updates.xepc.org/ p701 main
有問題嗎… 用apt-cache show wine 可看到 wine 1.0 為何安裝不了
By baddog on Jul 1, 2008
Re: baddog
你的 sources.list 中有很多軟體源, 看來有一些源跟 XEPC 提供的有衝突，你可以先把除 asus 和 xepc.org 之外的都 comment 掉才跑 sudo apt-get -f install, 解決了以後再改回。估計最有可能的是 xnv4.xandros.com 這個。
By lazyfai on Jul 2, 2008
謝謝指教…
1.安裝了 wine 1.0… 請問有可能跑到中文軟件嗎… 或另有中文版 wine
2. 用 apt-get install gcin , 系統說gcin 已經是最新版本… 但我的輸入法不包含 “簡易”
怎樣 upgrade 到 1.4.2 呢
By baddog on Jul 2, 2008
lazyfai,
tks for your patience…
i just managed to install the gcin 1.4.2 after pinned up the xepc.org repos…
just wondering…
y the way to change the input method has totally changed.. b4 it is just a single click, and now it needs to press clt-spacebar… and single click will turn on the conversion to simplified fonts…
the most importantly… where does the pinyin input method for simplified chinese has gone? it will be so vital to the ppl from mainland china…
is it only available in the asus version? or it has been done away from your gcin 1.4.2?
regards
By baddog on Jul 3, 2008
Re: baddog
I think it is specific to ASUS version only, but I will try to make it back to official gcin version, stay tuned.
Yes the method to change input method is changed, and actually it is due to increased function, like traditional chinese < -> simplified chinese and so on.
By lazyfai on Jul 3, 2008
lazyfai,
i love the new feature to convert between traditional and simplified chinese… it is so handy…
however, the pinyin method is so important for gcin being an universal input plugin for chinese ppl in any region..i am working in mainland china… and can assure you here all my colleagues know one and only one input method… i.e. pinyin… so, kindly pls add it back…
btw… *** my previous question…***
is it possible to run chinese software on wine 1.0… or do i need a localised version of wine?
i see the screenshot of your system and it looks you are using a chinese version of linux..
does it matter for running chinese on wine?
By baddog on Jul 3, 2008
Re: baddog
Wine is OK for chinese, but of course, it depends on your environment, if you use chinese environment, it can display chinese correctly, if your environment is english, there may have some difficulties.
For input method, please wait for a while and I will do it these 2 days.
By lazyfai on Jul 3, 2008
hi lazyfai,
my eee 900 is bought from hk.. i have no problem with displaying chinese filenames in the file manager… so i suppose the stock xandros is chinese enabled…. what more should i do to enable chinese proj running on wine?
By baddog on Jul 5, 2008
Re: baddog
Then it should be chinese-ready, but of course it depends on the programs you run, most of the programs are supported, and wine will “try its best” to run.
By lazyfai on Jul 6, 2008
hi lazyfai,
just replaced the stock Xandros with Xubuntu 8.04… prefer better support for ubuntu community..
there is no chinese input method installed with scim even though i selected chinese lang option for the installation.. after installation i managed to install lang support for chinese… but the system install a nos of unused stuff, e.g. lang support for Openoffice and other software that has not been installed…
questions:
1. can i remove the unused stuff one by one?
2. wanna replace the scim with your latest gcin… would the gcin in your xepc repos also support Xubuntu?
3. if not, do i need any config after i remove the scim and install the gcin from xubuntu repos (only 1.3.7 from their xubuntu, but i want the auto simplified traditional conversion)?
tks!
By baddog on Jul 17, 2008
Re: baddog
Sorry I only support Xandros based system, for Ubuntu/Xubuntu system please ask in their forum, but for generic questions, I can give you some idea.
1. You can see the list of installed program by “dpkg -l” command, to uninstall a specific program, you can do “sudo apt-get remove xxxxxxx” where xxxxxxx is the name of program you see from the “dpkg -l” output, first column.
2. No, you can get the source package from http://updates.xepc.org/pool-main/source/ and build it under Ubuntu yourself…
3. No, if you uninstalled scim and install gcin, the default input method will be gcin automatically.

Hi,
I just installed the lazyeeepc pack, mainly for the chinese input. However, i can not find pinyin input in the layout options…i wonder how to solve the problem? i do find some tutorial online about enabling the chinese input, but it is for 701 and doesn´t work on 900…..thanks in advance
By dadada on Jul 19, 2008
lazyfai..
removed scim from the ubuntu (and Xubuntu, tried both)…. and installed the gcin from the ubuntu repos (only 1.3.7 ver)…
pressed the CTRL-SPACE, the IM selection does not show up at the right top of the window… i.e. not able to activate the gcin…
interestingly, i opened a terminal session, then right click and context menu popup…there i could select gcin from the input method… and I was able to and activate gcin…however, still not able to toggle with CTRL-SPACE…
how could i activate gcin using CTRL-SPACE?
i checked the gcin setup… and it should be toggled by CTRL-SPACE….
missing anything or scripting ?
By baddog on Jul 27, 2008
Cannot use ctrl-space to change to Chinese input in firefox 3.01 nor pidgin 2.51. But can use it in openoffice and skype. Any way to fix it?
By Alan on Sep 13, 2008
Re: Alan
Are you using full desktop mode?
Seems there are some issues in full desktop mode, so ASUS decided to close it after some version…
By lazyfai on Sep 14, 2008
Re: Lazyfai
No, I’ve just recover from F9, install all update from Asus, then upgrade all from Xepc. And I’m using the easy mode. I also has problem that pidgin 2.51 crashes during start up, while MSN is trying to load, that doesn’t crash with other protocol.
By Alan on Sep 14, 2008
Re: Alan & Lazyfai
1. I using Asus 1000H running 1000’s Xandros
I have the same problem, the firefox 3.01 won’t work with gcin 1.42.
I can walk around this problem by put
[ export GTK_IM_MODULE="XIM" ] in file /opt/firefox/firefox.
Lazyfai may know where this should be taken care of.
In Ubuntu scim work very well with Chinese input.
2 to Lazyfai:
What is the proper way to add the “ttf-arphic-ukai” Chinese fonts into eeepc OS ?
Thank you for your help.
By jason on Sep 15, 2008
您好
我的 Eee PC 是在國外買的
因此裡頭的 Linux作業系統是西文版
請問有什麼辦法新增中文輸入法嗎?
謝謝!
By ching on Oct 7, 2008
Hi,
I have installed gcin 1.4.2 according to the information provided.
I am using pinyin character input right now but I would like to convert the characters from simplified chinese to traditional chinese automatically. Is it possible for me to do this by using gcin 1.4.2 ? thanks i.e. still using pinyin input but all the characters typed should be displayed as traditional chinese. thanks
By victor on Dec 26, 2008
Dear Jason,
I’m a newbee to eeepc linux os. Can you elaborate more on how to re-enable gcin chinese input in firefox 3 by your “export” command?
Many Thx!!
