[SOLVED] How to get ibus to work in xterm

Can anyone help me get ibus working in xterm? Ibus is working in all my other applications except xterm. In my pre-Arch days I had the same problem in Debian. In Debian I fixed the problem by editing /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default so that it looked like this:
# This configuration provides default IM setting (user edittable)
# See im-switch(8) and /usr/share/doc/im-switch/README.Debian .
# Define IM for traditional X application with XIM
# XIM server name used for XMODIFIERS="@im=$XIM"
# XIM program /path/filename
# XIM program command line arguments
# These were traditional setting before uim and scim for CJK languages
# Language LC_CTYPE XIM server XMODIFIERS Start key
# Japanese ja_JP* kinput2 "@im=kinput2" Shift-Space
# Korean ko_KR* ami "@im=Ami" Shift-Space
# Chinese(T) zh_TW.Big5 xcin "@im=xcin-zh_TW.big5" Ctrl-Space
# Chinese(S) zh_CN.GB2312 xcin "@im=xcin-zh_CN.GB2312" Ctrl-Space
XIM=ibus
XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus-daemon
XIM_ARGS="--xim"
XIM_PROGRAM_XTRA=
# Set following variable to non-zero string if program set itself as deamon
XIM_PROGRAM_SETS_ITSELF_AS_DAEMON=
# Define GTK and QT IM module
# They may or may not be using xim as the IM.
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
# Define lists of packages neded for above IM to function
DEPENDS="ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-qt4"
# Define X start up hook script to update IM environment
However, Arch does not even have the /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d directory, so I am a little lost. I think I have all the relevant packages installed (ibus, ibus-m17n, ibus-qt, libibus, xorg-xinput).

Some more information:
1- The problem is not the font. The font I'm using in xterm supports the special characters.
2- The problem is that xterm ignores ibus completely. When I type "cx" I get the expected "ĉ" in all applications (e.g., firefox, mate-terminal) but xterm just gives me "cx"
3- I already have this in ~/.bashrc:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
4- I'm on a laptop, fully updated 64-bit Arch Linux, LightDM, and MATE.
I've googled ad nauseam and this is driving me nuts. Please help.

I have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

i have purchased itunes match but the cloud will not load on my ipad 4.it works on my iphone 5 & it originally worked on my ipad.the only music that will show up is stuff that i bought from the itunes store.any ideas on how to get this to work?

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

When I switch my time capsule to 5.0ghz mode the range of my wireless network drops significantly. Near the Time Capsule my Macbook Pro works fine, in my bedroom I have almost no signal. In mixed mode it works fine. Any ideas on how to get 5.0 working?

Thanks, W

I'm not sure if you understand that 5 GHz has some upsides, but also some very significant downsides.
The upside is that the 5 GHz signal will allow faster speeds.
The downside is that you must always give up something in order to gain something else.Unfortunately, the marketing hype about 5 GHz does not go into very many details about this.
In the case of 5 GHz, the 5 GHz signals are much weaker than 2.4 GHz signals, so they do not travel as far or penetrate any obstructions like walls or ceilings nearly as well as 2.4 GHz signals. In many cases, in order to get good 5 Ghz performance, you literally have to have almost a line-of-sight relationship between your computer and the wireless router.
If you have a new dual band router, which broadcasts both a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signal simutaneously, your Mac will connect to the best signal quality automatically depending on its location in relation to the router. In the same room, without any obstructions, it will connec to 5 GHz. But, take the laptop down the hall a few rooms and around the corner and the Mac will connect to the 2.4 GHz signal because at that location, the 2.4 GHz signal is not only stronger, it is also faster.

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

Did you enable Siri in settings?
Settings > General > Siri > ON
If Siri is off, all you get when pressing the home button for 1 second is the old Voice Control.

It's even an irony that this forum doesnt work on safari at all. All the buttons are just ... buttons. Nothing works when you click on it (i.e. filtering, tagging, etc).
Even more ironic is the fact that I use nothing but Safari, and it works correctly in Gmail, as well as on this site.

How to get WLAN card working on Tecra M1?

I just bought a Tecra M1, 2nd Hand. Great! There is XP installed but no Toshiba tools. I can't manage to get access to my WLAN router. Seems as if the WLAN connection isn't installed yet. As I know from my Satellite Pro M30, there are Toshiba tools for that, they work smart.
Maybe I would need the drivers - WXP finds unknown hardware during start up - could be the WLAN device - who knows.
When I check the network connections, I find 1934 and LAN adapter, but no WLAN device. I already ran the XP assistant for WLAN connections, entered SSID and hex Key; but no WLAN device shows up.
So, has anybody an idea how to get the WLAN working?
Is there a possibility to get the M1 Toshiba Software or can I use my SatPro Software?
Thanks so far Jan

My question seems to be difficult... No reply at all
But keeping on searching I found some links to other Toshiba sites
There I found the required drivers for the WLAN
Once the driver is installed, the WLAN device was proper configurable.
The second hardware device that was found and specified as unknown, was the IR Device. I took a driver from my SatPro CD. All fine so far.
By that way: I couldnt find the utilities for download, but I tries to uses the SatPro CD - that works
Hoping that my experiences will help somebody else I mark my question as being answered.
So far Jan
