Did somebody have a problem? Which version were they using?

Some mcip user feedback this problem, after they uninstall mscim. N900 cannot boot.

then I read you changelog, found :

Now depends on either the 'scim' or the 'mscim' Maemo packages

and read "either" to "neither".......some I get a wrong result...

sorry for my careless.

Oh dear, that is very unfortunate and please pass my apologies to the user. I suppose that would be possible with no SCIM. Was the user using the 'scim' package instead of 'mscim'? Because the dependency on 'mscim' existed from the very first release. I added the alternative of 'scim' only in v0.0.5.

I could add the below code to the startup script for mscimswitcherstatus and make it run only if SCIM is not found, but it should be impossible now with the dependency on ( scim | mscim ).

Code:

gtk-query-immodules > /etc/gtk.immodules

I have been experimenting with uninstalling and reinstalling the package over the last few days, to ensure the process is clean and safe.

I strongly recommend all users upgrade to the current build (there are no new features, just better safeguards in the install/uninstall scripts).

If you have the extras-devel repository enabled, the recommended way to upgrade is using the Application Manager. Simply Update, then Download and search for mscim, select 'mscimswitcherstatus' and install.

Or, from X Terminal (as root):

Code:

 apt-get update && apt-get install mscimswitcherstatus

Otherwise, use the package attached to the first post of this thread.

I was thinking I could add an option to set Conversations to always use MSCIM. That would mean we would never need to kill Conversations windows when switching between Hildon/MSCIM for the rest of the system.

Would anyone be interested in this feature, if I can make it work?

EDIT: Actually, this would not work with the battery-saving feature, so would only be the same as the default settings ("Don't suspend SCIM" and "Don't kill RTCOM/Conversations")

So, please ignore me!

btw, just installed this and I can happily say it works as it should. =)
Now I can easily switch between MSCIM and Hildon for vkb. Great stuff.

You need to install mscim first, this is just a switcher tool to allow one to switch between hildon and mscim inputs.
