Ubuntu 16.04: where to set Xim server name?

Question

I am using fcitx 4.2.9.1. When running fcitx-diagnose, I get the following error regarding the Xim section:

Xim:

1. ${XMODIFIERS}:

   Environment variable XMODIFIERS is set to "@im=fcitx" correctly. Xim Server Name from Environment variable is fcitx.

2. XIM_SERVERS on root window:

   Xim server name: "ibus" is different from that set in the environment variable: "fcitx".

I have set keyboard input method system as fcitx in Language Support. I am confused why Xim server name is still ibus. Where can I modify Xim server name?

Answer 1

I have the same issue as you,I fixed it by remove the ibus .However I found the unity desktop environment is gone after you remove ibus.

Answer 2

add the following to /etc/environment or ~/.xprofile

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
