Did you consider looking for an Armbian support web site to get help? (Side note...AI searches are notorious for providing fake information. Following the instructions from an AI is probably going to lead you into a thicket of erroneous and useless activities.)I am running Armbian with Cinnamon on the Pi 5, I found this combination is particularly trouble to setup chinese input. I used Mint and even Ghostbsd with chinese input without problem. I mainly use SCIM and IBUS they both worked fine, but I couldn't make any of them worked on Armbian. I also tried Fcitix but the same story. I follow instruction from Ai search to trouble shoot things, for hours I couldn't get the way out, it just said missing this missing that and unable to something something....etc. So that I can understand the frustration of not being able to use chinese or non English on the system, and I hope someone that actually successfully setup Armbian with chinese input to shred some light, many thanks !
