After install the ubuntu 6.10 from the live-cd, you may find that the SCIM does not work. All the related package has been installed, but after press Ctrl+Space, the SCIM input has not enabled.

The main reason is that the scim daemo is not running.  Following is the solution:

create 75scim file under /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ with following lines :


export XMODIFIERS=”@im=SCIM”
export XIM_PROGRAM=”/usr/bin/scim -d”
export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim
export QT_IM_MODULE=scim
