This page describes which packages and configuration files need to be installed on Ubuntu for Korean to be supported.

For other languages, see DapperL10nSprint.

Requested for l10n sprint

1. Korean Keyboard problem (http://launchpad.net/bugs/30848)

2. Enable skim module with scim-hangul 0.2.2 (http://launchpad.net/bugs/34472)

3. Make ttf-unfonts as default font for Korean : as described in ["BetterCJKSupportSpecification/FontConfig"]
   • Debian's ttf-unfonts maintainer tried this using alias for sans and serif with unfonts, but had an impact on entire fontconfig.

4. Set DHCP with mac address (http://launchpad.net/bugs/26949)

5. language-support-ko failed to install with flight5 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/34784)

SCIM input method

• scim-hangul

Test Results after Requests

• 2006-3-16
  • With kubuntu flight5, scim-gtk2-immodule not installed for scim-hangul as out of box. : This is due to kubuntu-desktop currently depending on scim-qtimm only. For that scim-hangul works out of box, scim-gtk2-immodule and scim-qtimm need to be depended by language-support-ko instead of ubuntu-desktop or kubuntu-desktop, but not sure whether this idea is good or not as concerns chain of dependencies for scim-gtk2-immodule under kubuntu.

  • For the item 1 requested, the culprit of "keycodes 209 and 210 not passed" was fixed by xserver-xorg-input-keyboard_1.0.1.3-0ubuntu3 ([https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/dapper-changes/2006-March/007829.html changelog]) and successfully tested by the bug reporter.
