SCIM输入启动遭遇“Failed to load x11 FrontEnd module. ”错误

今天把我的一个Linux系统重启了一下，想输入中文，却发现中文输入法打不开，应该是SCIM没启动，于是

# scim -d

启动之，却发现报错如下：

[root@sheng ~]# scim -d
Smart Common Input Method 1.4.4

Launching a SCIM process with x11...
Loading socket Config module ...
Creating backend ...
Loading x11 FrontEnd module ...
Failed to load x11 FrontEnd module.
Failed to launch SCIM.
[root@sheng ~]# 

 

很自然地上网去搜一下“Failed to load x11 FrontEnd module.”，发现有很多人遇到这个问题，但没找到有效的解决办法。用

# ps -ef | grep scim

看了一下，发现有四个scim相关的进程在运行：

[root@sheng ~]# ps -ef | grep scim
root      4706     1  0 13:59 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c simple -e all -f socket --no-stay
root      4710     1  0 13:59 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-helper-manager
root      4711     1  0 13:59 ?        00:00:01 /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-panel-gtk --display :0.0 -c socket -d --no-stay
root      4713     1  0 13:59 ?        00:00:00 /usr/lib/scim-1.0/scim-launcher -d -c socket -e socket -f x11
root      4779     1  0 14:01 ?        00:00:00 scim-bridge
root      5349  5275  0 14:10 pts/2    00:00:00 grep scim

 

于是把这四个进程全部杀掉，然后再重启scim:

[root@sheng ~]# scim -d
Smart Common Input Method 1.4.4

Launching a SCIM daemon with Socket FrontEnd...
Loading simple Config module ...
Creating backend ...

GTK Panel of SCIM 1.4.4

Starting SCIM as daemon ...
SCIM has been successfully launched.
[root@sheng ~]# 

 启动正常了，原来刚开始启动不了是因为SCIM已经启动了，才报那个错。可是为什么无法调出输入法呢？打开SCIM配置界面一看，原来我为了在我的WinXP上的XServer上使用SCIM时，避免打开输入法的快捷方式与WinXP的的快捷方式冲突，把启动快捷键改成了“Shift+Ctrl+Z”，难怪无法调出输入法。

 

在此留个记号，免得下次再在这个坑上摔跟斗。
