Game in the Brain

Here is the way of installing the Pinyin Keyboard for my notebook.
This is based off steffan’s steps but this is how it turned out for me.

Step 1
Install Flexible Input Method Framework aka fcitx

sudo apt-get install fcitx

Step 2
Install fcitx-sunpinyin 

sudo apt-get install fcitx-sunpinyin

Step 3
reboot

Step 4
in terminal:

• im-config 

• Say Yes to update
• Then choose fcitx

Step 5
Look for the keyboard icon in Panel 0

Test to see if the Global Settings work by opening a word processor and using Ctrl+Space to switch to the sunpinyin keyboard. This should put the sunpin symbol where the keyboard was.

this is how I got to install mine.
