Kubuntu 10.10 new install fully updated. Installed KDE 4.5.3 from Kubuntu PPA repo. Then installed Japanese language support. Two iBus icons are showing up in the KDE systray. One appears to be inactive when switching input method to Japanese. Known bug? Freak of nature? Workaround available?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAs in the title - When I use truecrypt it (normally) puts an icon in the systray. I need to click on this icon when i've finished with the volume in order to unmount the volume and exit the program. This is very important as I share this volume across computers and it can't be mounted on more than one at a time.
However the icon does not play with the new unity DE, not showing up at all, and leaving me with only one option - to open a terminal and find and kill all TC processes. Obviously killing processes in this way is technically not ideal and is time consuming too.
Any ideas how to sort this out anyone?
I reinstalled my F12 yesterday and suddenly found the little icon disappeared. Not sure if I accidently deleted it or something, my NetworkManger service is enabled and up running. the nm-applet is also running, but just no icon in the systray area.

View 4 Replies View Relatedbut now I've found an area where linux - or at least Ubuntu - just isn't in the game: inputting Chinese into documents. I've spent half a day trying to get iBus and SCIM to work, and not getting anywhere.
For those who don't yet understand, iBus and SCIM are alternative methods of entering western letters and being able to input a Chinese character in a document. It also works for other languages, like Japanese and Vietnamese, but I'm into Chinese, specifically Simplified Chinese.
On my Mac, I configured the machine for Chinese input and it just worked. Even on my wife's Windows machine, I configured the machine for Chinese input and it just worked. Not so on my linux - Ubuntu 10.04 - box. It just didn't work.
Nineteen times out of twenty I couldn't get the keyboard icon to display. When I did, I couldn't get it to select an input method (except once). And that once I couldn't get it to input anything. Most of the time it let me know that there was no input window, although I had both LibreOffice and Gtext windows open.
but I'll try again in a few years. It's going to take at least that long to make iBus and SCIM work. Normally I find that if I can do it on the Mac or in Windows, I can do it in linux, but this is one area where there's a lot of work yet to be done.
Ibus is very familiar to some users. And they find only one way to use Ibus as their keyboard layout. But its not possible to use ibus on Maverick Meerkat by default. you need to follow some instruction to do that. Here I am telling how I have done this...
Go to System> Administration> Synaptic Package Manager (you have to give your password) type " ibus-m17 " on search box. then just install the one appears. After installation the package, just close the synaptic. Now you are done to use Ibus.
Now go to System>Administration>Language Support (it may ask you to install the Language support, just click on the "Remind me later") Then select ' ibus ' from the "Keyboard input method system" under the Language tab.
Then close the window and restart the PC.
Thats the work I have done to get the iBus on Maverick Meerkat.
After upgrading to Kubuntu 10.10 the icon for the ibus input method is not showing up anymore.
I checked the ibus-daemon is running, but I have no idea how to use ibus without an icon.
I type Chinese using ibus, but it dosen't seem to work at all with skype, is there anything I can do to get it working? Ibus isen't working for me in libre office either.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor years I have been using scim-anthy for Japanese input under Linux. However just moving to ubuntu 10.10 I noticed that the development for scim has ceased and lots of people recommend moving to ibus. So I tried: I got ibus and ibus-anthy installed. I choose ibus as keyboard method input system under System->Adminsitration->Language Support ibus is up and running. I can see the icon. In ibus opreferences I added anthy under Input methods. I restarted X resp. the whole computer. I can choose Japanese-Anthy when clicking on the ibus icon. But nothing happens. I am still writing latin characters, no anthy popped up (like it used with scim), nothing.

IBus used to work fine with gnome 2.3 and unity, but in gnome 3, the icon is still there, the deamon is still running (I presume) but no matter where i click, it always shows 'no input window'... (for example, i can't type anything other than English here...).

View 14 Replies View RelatedI installed Kubuntu 10.04 and wanted to try if, finally, ibus works. I installed ibus and ibus-anthy from repository (I need the japanese input), then I launched Ibus preferences from the menu, set it, and the icon appears in the kickbar.But nothing happens if I press ctrl-space. Same problem there was on 9.10.I also added the lines to the home/.bashrc as the popup says.

export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
I used to input Chinese with scim input method, which can be trigered by Ctrl^Space. But this time, I reinstalled ubuntu 10.04, I have to manually start up ibus from System>Preference>ibus firstly before I can triger the input method by Ctrl^Space.
This is not over, the key problem is there are several dialogues to click "ok" with before I can really use the scim.
How can I make this ibus startup automatically and quitely?
I tried put command "ibus -setup" into my .profile, it does start up the ibus automatically every time when I login, but the dialogues still bothering me.
I am dual booting windows 7 and kubuntu, and when I try to access my main filesystem where all my files are, a KdeSudo prompt pops up to authenticate. I type in my password correctly, and it gives me the following error message:

I am running Debian 8.2 (Jessie) with KDE 4.14.2. I use ibus to enter CJK characters. ibus is setup "the manual way" from URL....

CJK input via ibus works for Qt4 applications such as Kate and Kwrite.However, CJK input via ibus does not work automatically with Qt5 applications, such as sqlitebrowser. I can get ibus running with Qt5 applications if I launch the application from the console like this:
Code: Select allQT_IM_MODULE=ibus sqlitebrowser
Is there way I can get ibus working with Qt5 applications automically without needing to add "QT_IM_MODULE=ibus" all the time?
Since I updated to Fedora 12, I've been using ibus-anthy to input Japanese.Unfortunately is lacking of handwriting input, something that scim was offering through scim-tomoe.

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
Using --skip-broken doesn't sound good, so it's gonna be a last effort.
