[LINUX] Coexistence of Fcitx and Zoom ~ With Japanese localization ~

This article is a successful reminder that beginners have been inspired to make Fcitx and Zoom coexist. As you know, if you install Zoom in an environment where you are using Fcitx, Zoom will bring ibus and you will not be able to use Fcitx. ** We have succeeded in coexisting Zoom and Fcitx. ** (Although some functions cannot be used) The environments in use are Debian and Arch, but I will only write Debian here. (It is possible to do the same with Arch)

$ uname -a 
  Linux kali 5.6.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.6.14-2kali1 (2020-06-10) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Install Fcitx

I will write it for the time being.

How to install Fcitx on Debian (series)

$ apt install fcitx fcitx-mozc (fcitx-qt5)

After that, just select fcitx with ʻinput-method and set it with fcitx-config tool`.

Zoom installation

Write a normal Zoom installation, regardless of Fcitx.

How to install zoom in Debian (series)

$ dpkg -i zoom_amd64.deb
$ apt -f install

To coexist

To avoid the phenomenon that it is installed in the same environment, you should virtualize it. That's why I use docker. So I will install it.

How to install docker on Debian (series)

$ apt install docker.io (docker-ce)
$ gpasswd -a {user} docker 
$ systemctl start docker.service

If you use it frequently, it is convenient to include systemctl enable docker.service as well.

docker hub has mdouchement / zoom-us, so use this ..

Install Zoom on Docker

** First, refer to the document mdouchement / zoom-us ** pull

$ docker pull mdouchement/zoom-us

There is no problem in starting if you proceed with the document as it is, but since Japanese fonts are not included as it is All Japanese is tofu. So I will drop the file from Github.

~/Download

$ git clone https://github.com/mdouchement/docker-zoom-us

** Install Japanese fonts **

Rewrite Duckerfile

Put the font you want to use after pulseaudio. This time I put fonts-noto-cjk-extra, but are there some fonts that do not respond? Cjk-extra can be used, so if you are in trouble, use this.

docker-zoom-us/Dockerfile

$ vim docker-zoom-us/Dockerfile

# References:
#   https://hub.docker.com/r/solarce/zoom-us
#   https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-skype
---abridgement---
  libxcb-keysyms1 libxcb-xtest0 ibus ibus-gtk \
  libnss3 libxss1 xcompmgr pulseaudio `fonts-noto-cjk-extra`

ARG ZOOM_URL=https://zoom.us/client/latest/zoom_amd64.deb

# Grab the client .deb
---abridgement---

** Based on the rewritten file ** build

~/Download

$ docker build -t mdouchement/zoom-us docker-zoom-us

You can set your own name for mdouchement / zoom-us

later run

$ docker run -it --rm --volume /usr/local/bin:/target mdouchement/zoom-us:latest install

That's it ... but

Zoom and Fcitx have succeeded in coexistence. (Although some functions cannot be used)

I wrote, but I can't input Japanese. I have no idea what to do with the input method (crying)

Small story (?)

When I install Zoom and try to use it ** "Hmm? Isn't it something like UI ??" ** I've fixed it, so I'll write it down. Well, I'm just playing with Zoom's config

The original config is this ↓,

shell:~/.config/zoomus.conf

If you feel it is large, just change ʻautoScale on the 6th line to falseto make it smaller. I don't think you need it, but I wanted to use it, so I'll putDockerfile and zoomus.conf` on Github.

~/Download

$ git clone https://github.com/fzmyshion/zoom_jp_conf

I'm new to Docker, so there's something good or another way! I would appreciate it if you could tell me gently.
