Intro

Let you use fcitx under fbterm.

Prepare

Make fbterm can use input method.

sudo setcap 'cap_sys_tty_config+ep' /usr/bin/fbterm

or

sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/fbterm

Launch fbterm

With X

For example, if your X is :0 (by default, if you only have one X server).

export DISPLAY=:0
fcitx-fbterm-helper

If no error output, it will work.

Without X or have problem

fcitx-fbterm-helper -l

It will launch a new dbus daemon and new fcitx. There is a message indicating that there should be only fcitx running. So run

killall fcitx

before you start execute fcitx-fbterm-helper.

Unreleased fcitx-fbterm 0.1.4's fcitx-fbterm-helper can kill dbus-daemon and fcitx when fbterm quits, you can grab the script here. It's ok to run it from anywhere so you don't need to replace the system script.
