[karuboniru]

Try with fcitx5 --disable=wayland, this workaround works for me.

---

Of course you should have dbus session bus already set up to make fcitx5 to work, and the Wayland implementation doesn't seem to be complete in WSLg, we need to disable Wayland for fcitx5.

hello, i have same error, did you fix the bug?

[c137max]

I added the following configuration to the environment file,e.g. zshrc，it worked for me.

export GTK_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export QT_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export XMODIFIERS=@im=fcitx
export SDL_IM_MODULE=fcitx
export GLFW_IM_MODULE=ibus

fcitx5 --disable=wayland -d  --verbose '*'=0
