CrunchBang 10: as Guest OS on LM 12 Host

Install Japanese Input

sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-anthy ibus-gtk

Add the following three lines to .bashrc

export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus

Restart IBus and add anthy

ibus-setup

Input Method -> Select an Input method -> Japanese -> Anthy -> Add -> Close

Input Japanese works but MOJI-BAKE happens.

sudo apt-get install locales ttf-vlgothic

If still have trouble with MOJI-BAKE, then try this

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Select ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP & ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 default: en_US.UTF-8 restart OS
