fcitx pinyin context menu not appearing

[Joseph Minicucci]

I ham running fcitx in 15.04 XFCE Ubuntu (XUbuntu) and my fcitx is working fine for both Chewing and Google Pinyin input, however the menu with pinyin entries never shows up when I type. So for example, I can type some Pinyin, hit a number, and the text is input, however I have no idea which number corresponds to what entry. I toyed with some settings to no avail. Am I missing something?  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Emm, do you have fcitx-classic-ui installed?

Ok it's called fcitx-ui-classic on ubuntu.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/fcitx-ui-classic

If it is installed but still doesn't work (login/logout required, or
run fcitx -r to restart fcitx), please paste your output of
fcitx-diagnose.

Yes I have fcitx-ui-classic installed. Upon restart I do get one WARN:

(WARN-5831 /build/buildd/fcitx-4.2.8.5/src/frontend/xim/xim.c:161) Please set XMODIFIERS.

This was when I was running SCIM as my default IME. When I switched the system to FCITX, log out/log in, fcitx -r I get :

(ERROR-12949 /build/buildd/fcitx-4.2.8.5/src/frontend/xim/xim.c:240) Start XIM error. Another XIM daemon named fcitx is running?
(ERROR-12949 /build/buildd/fcitx-4.2.8.5/src/lib/fcitx/instance.c:437) Exiting.

Should be obvious that fcitx is already running, however the keyboard fcitx daemon icon in my toolbar disappears on every logon after about 5 seconds. Here is my fcitx-diagnose:

Are you trying to use sogou pinyin? If not, uninstall fcitx-qimpanel
may be help.
