Don't try to install anything in Dom0. + +2. Choose a TemplateVM in which you will be using pinyin input on AppVM + instances thereof and open a terminal there. + +3. Issue `sudo yum install ibus-pinyin` (or, for a Debian template, + `sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin`). + +4. Close and shut down the TemplateVM. + +5. Restart an AppVM which inherits from the template and open a terminal. + +6. Issue `ibus-setup`. + +7. You will likely get the error message telling you to paste + + export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus + export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus + export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus + + into your bashrc. + + Copy the text, and then issue: `sudo nano ~/.bashrc` + Paste the text into the bottom of the file and press ctrl-x to save and + close. + You will need to do this on any AppVM in which you wish to use pinyin input. + +8. Setup ibus input as you like using the graphical menu (add pinyin or + intelligent pinyin to selections). You can bring the menu back by issuing + `ibus-setup` from a terminal. + +9. Use super-space as you are used to using to switch between pinyin-unicode and + Latin character input. + +10. Whenever you restart one of these AppVMs, you will need to open a terminal + and issue `imsettings-switch ibus` to activate ibus. + +For further discussion, see [this thread](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/qubes-users/languge/qubes-users/VcNPlhdgVQM/iF9PqSzayacJ). +
