With some twisting, I finally managed to get the fcitx input platform to run on fatdog64 621.

The half-Chinese Language pet fatdog64-621-zh-enfx64-0.0.1.pet (4.5 mb) is now available for download, it has fcitx version 4.2.0 with 4 Chinese Input Methods. Download addresses: fatdog64 iso (in previous message); half-Chinese pets (in first message of this subject).

fatdog64's support for non-English Language is very limited but it gives a taste of the 64 bit Puppy system.

Enjoy.

lighthouse 503 was the last 32 bit Puppy linux released by Tazoc on Feb 28, 2011. Since then, the author switched focus to the 64 bit system and no more updates were done on the 32 bit system.

It comes in 2 isoes, Base and Mariner, features are:
Base iso: (203 mb)
Kernel 2.6.33.2 and Xorg-server 1.7.7
window managers: JWM, IceWM, LXDE, Openbox

there are also 40 more additional sfs files available for download from the lighthouse download site. The download speed is up to 2 mb per sec

booting note
When booting from a GRUB bootloader, please add xforcevesa nomodeset to the kernel line in your menu.lst.

download addresses for lighthouse 503: http://lhpup.org/download503.htm

Because the setup of lighthouse 503 is quite different compared to the other Puppy systems, I have created 2 version-specific half-Chinese Language pets instead of update the universal half-Chinese pets. The names of these pets are:
fcitx input platform: lighthouse-503-zh-enfx-0.0.1.pet (8 mb)
SCIM input Platform: lighthouse-503-zh-ensm-0.0.1.pet (18 mb)

Half-Chinese Language pet enables Puppy to display and input Chinese, the desktop remains in English. Please see the first message posted under this subject for download addresses

fcitx input platform: lighthouse64-5.1.5-zh-fx64-0.1.5.pet (6.5 mb)
SCIM input platform: lighthouse64-5.1.5-zh-sm64-0.0.1.pet (12 mb)

SCIM input platform: raring-5.6.94-zhhk-sm-7.1.4.pet (19 mb)
existing universal half-Chinese Language pets can handle raring 5.6.94 already

c. 2 pdf files:
user manual of the 32 bit Puppy Chinese Language pets
version change log of the 32 bit Chinese Language pets up to 7.1.4

I would also like to thank forum member don570 who pointed out 1 flaw that affects all my earlier Chinese Language pets (half-Chinese Language pets are not affected).
Because this flaw does not has an immediate impact on users unless modifications were done to /root/.config/rox.sourceforget.net, I do not plan to issue replacement pets immediately.
However if you are using the Chinese Language pets (universal half-Chinese pets are not affected) released prior to July 1, 2013 and want to make changes in the folder /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net, please be careful.

Known issues:

If anyone knows how to solve these 2 issues, please let me know.

Known issues:
a. the SCIM half-Chinese Language pet uses zh_CN.UTF-8 locale because I cannot get SCIM to work normally in English locales
I found that after installed SCIM, if I start an application in terminal with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim XXX (XXX = geany, abiword, gnumeric, firefox etc), then SCIM can start in that application under en_US.UTF-8 locale. But I have not use this workaround method in the pet.
If anyone knows a better way to solve this, please let me know.

Known issue:
dpup wheezy 3527 comes with abiword 2.9.2
However, I cannot get fcitx or SCIM to run in abiword 2.9.2
An easy solution is to downgrade abiword to 2.8.6 to enable Chinese input by fcitx and SCIM
That is why 2 special half-Chinese pets are created for dpup Wheezy 3527

fcitx Input Platform: upup-raring-3991-zhhk-fx-7.2.0.pet (14.3 mb)
SCIM Input Platform: upup-raring-3991-zhhk-sm-7.2.0.pet (22.9 mb)

Known issue:
upup raring 3991 comes with abiword 2.9.2 and gnumeric 1.12.1
However, I cannot get fcitx or SCIM to run in abiword 2.9.2 or gnumeric 1.12.1
An easy solution is to downgrade abiword to 2.8.6 and gnumeric to 1.10.17 to enable Chinese input by fcitx and SCIM
That is why 2 special half-Chinese pets were created for upup raring 3991

Chinese Language pets

#60 Post by icake »

Yesterday, an unnamed visitor pointed out the solution to run fcitx and SCIM for abiword and gnumeric under gtk3 of Wheezy and upup raring. This solution eliminates the need to downgrade abiword and gnumeric and also greatly reduces the size of the affected Chinese Language pets.
I have revised and uploaded 12 new Chinese Language pets for the 3 affected Puppy systems:
Dpup-Wheezy-3527; raring-5.6.94 and upup-raring-3991

3 Puppy systems X 2 input platforms (fcitx and SCIM) X 2 Chinese Languages (Simplified and Tradtiional) = 12 pets

These 12 pets:
1. were all named version 7.2.2. Please see posting no. 1 of this subject for download addresses.
2. include a bug fix to enable user defined partition labels to display below each desktop partition icons.

I have also uploaded version 7.2.2 of the universal half-Chinese Language pets for fcitx and SCIM input platforms to handle abiword and gnumeric under gtk3.

May I say thank you again to that unnamed visitor for pointing out the solution.
