ibus-unikey is now in the AUR
Posted on 9:48 PM under arch linux 2 comments
I've uploaded a PKGBUILD for ibus-unikey to the ArchLinux AUR. You can install it with yaourt like this:
Then add the following to your .bash_profile
PS: Ok, there is no spyware/malware/rootkit in this binary package! If you don't trust me, don't use this method and build the package yourself (this is the way I recommend)
yaourt -S ibus-unikeyIf you don't want to build from the source, you have to install all the dependencies first:
pacman -Sy gcc gconf gtk2And then download and install the binary package
Then add the following to your .bash_profile
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

I'm a "fanboy" of OSS4 since I switched from Fedora to ArchLinux. OSS4 is a great sound module except for... its mixer program, ossxmix:
It's not a GUI, it's a GSDI or Graphical Sound Developer Interface :). I have no idea what the functionality it provides, so my approach to use this kind of application is try-and-see.
Recently, I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.30.x and the sound on my laptop get distored. I googled for solution many hours without any luck, it's time to solve this by myself. Fire up ossxmix, try-and-see alot of settings and I found this:
Hope this may save you some time.

I've switched to ArchLinux from Fedora a couple of months ago and I really miss the mirror of Fedora on FPT (my current ISP). A few days ago, I wrote an email to ask the FPT mirrors admin to add a mirror for ArchLinux to their mirror systems. Here is what I wrote (in Vietnamese):
Basically, what I said is ArchLinux is a popular distro, it's in top 20 of DistroWatch (02 Mar 2009) and asking them to setup a mirror for ArchLinux.
And here is their reply (in Vietnamese):
What they said is: "Thanks for your suggestion. We will mirror ArchLinux ASAP. We hope to receive your suggestions in the future". I have changed my real name and the name of the author of the above email. It's great news for Arch lovers in Vietnam.
At the moment, FPT have mirrors for the following distros: CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Mandriva, openSUSE, Slackware and Ubuntu.
Gởi Admin mirror của FPT.
Arch Linux (www.archlinux.org)
là một distro khá phổ biến hiện nay (Arch đang đứng trong top 20 distro
phổ biến theo Distrowatch.com). Nếu được, mình xin admin cài đặt một
mirror tại http://mirror-fpt-telecom.fpt.net/. Mình gởi bạn địa chỉ URL của ArchLinux repository: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/
Hi vọng mình sớm được thấy ArchLinux repositories sẽ xuất hiện trong danh sách mirror của FPT.
Cám ơn Admin rất nhiều!
