Another person got this error. I have now added it to the local documentation in the Manual which will be updated on the webiste around May 31. |

@Askar Thank you for reporting this error as it gave us incentive to look into it. Which is the LC_CTYPE setting (and may be other Locale settings too). When I set this to what you have, I clearly get the same error as shown here: LC_CTYPE="en_IL" /mnt0/build5/cinelerra-5.1/bin/cin # set LC_CTYPE and start Cinelerra ... BC_WindowBase::init_im: Could not open input method. unjoined tids / owner 1 00007fca417fa700 / 00007fca90487840 12BC_Clipboard The above is an O/S error. It might be as simple as just setting "LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8" and exporting it before starting Cinelerra. Or you can even put this in your bash startup file or run from the command line like I did above. |

@Askar This message means that the function "XOpenIM" (X Open Input Method) failed. The call is XOpenIM(display,0,0,0). ie open any input method on the display. If it fails, it means that X did not associate an input device (usually a keyboard) to the display. I googled "XOpenIM failed" and it seems that sometimes the locale can cause a failure. What is your "locale"? A suggestion on the internet was to use "LC_CTYPE-en_GB.utf8" on the command line. Please reply with what your locale is and which desktop you are using so we can help. To get this information type "locale" in a window and send the output. |
