orangepizero3 Ubuntu 26.04 Kernel 6.18.29 installed fcitx5 Problem

[HO Kin Chung]

Why doesn’t it start automatically after I log out or reboot after installation?

 

What is causing this issue?

 

The official Orange Pi kernel version (Orangepizero3_1.0.4_debian_bookworm_desktop_xfce_linux6.1.31) does not have this problem and runs automatically.

Instead, I get the error: “dbus can't connect to fcitx5.”

 

Every time I need to open the fcitx5 settings again and click “Run” before I can input Chinese.
I have no idea what is going on.

 

 

Thanks.

More information is needed.

 

What armbian release do you use?

How did you install fcitx5?

Have you followed the instructions on their wiki? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Setup_Fcitx_5

Or read the FAQ? https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/FAQ

Are you using a chromium based browser?

Quote

Chromium or any other chromium based browser (E.g. Microsoft Edge)

For Chromium running under X11, if you are using startx to start your graphical user interface, you may hit an issue in startx that unset the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, which prevent chromium based browser from using dbus correctly.

1. Ubuntu 26.04 current 6.18.29 xfce /  Debian 12 bookworm Xfce current6.12.23

 

I have tried two different Armbian community‑build images, and no matter which input method I use (ibus, gcin, fcitx4, or fcitx5), none of them can start automatically.
In offical Ubuntu/Debian desktop releases, input methods normally start by themselves without such complicated setup

 

2. just apt install fcitx5 and more 

 

3  i have read wiki setup fcitx5

 

4. i use Firefox

 

Please check the problems

 

 

Thanks
