Following up on Making fcitx work under Lubuntu 18.04
I've got all the fcitx packages I believe:
fcitx_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-bin_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-config-common_0.4.10-3 fcitx-config-gtk_0.4.10-3 fcitx-data_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-frontend-all_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-frontend-gtk2_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-frontend-gtk3_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-frontend-qt5:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2 fcitx-googlepinyin:amd64_0.1.6-4build1 fcitx-module-dbus_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-module-kimpanel_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-module-lua_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-module-x11_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-modules_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx-ui-classic_1:4.2.9.8-3 fcitx5-module-quickphrase-editor:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2 libfcitx-config4:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3 libfcitx-core0:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3 libfcitx-gclient1:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3 libfcitx-qt5-1:amd64_1.2.5-1ubuntu2 libfcitx-qt5-data_1.2.5-1ubuntu2 libfcitx-utils0:amd64_1:4.2.9.8-3But my fcitx config is still showing empty methods:
I've tried both fcitx-config-gtk3 and fcitx-configtool. Both showing empty methods.
Consequently using hot key trying to invoke/trigger fcitx has no effect at all.
Anybody can help?

You need to launch the fcitx daemon and configure your system to use fcitx.
- Open Input Method Configuration
- Select fcitx as the user configuration
- Reboot
Now you should see a fcitx icon and be able to add input methods to your liking.
