 Posted: Tue May 03, 2011 6:32 am Post subject: IBus not working on GNOME: No input window |
 |
|
Ever since I have installed IBus on GNOME it is not working right.
I am using Ctrl-Space as the key for calling IBus, but it works nowhere, the input method menu doesn't show up.
Clicking on the IBus icon in the panel just shows "No input menu".
If I run "ibus-daemon -v", this is what I got, seemingly unrelated:

I am using Python 2.6, and reinstalling ibus doesn't help with the problem at all. |

| Well, I found out that in the gnome-terminal, if I selected "X Input Method" as the input method in context menu, I can successfully use IBus. However, in other places without input method selects in context menu, I am still unable to call IBus. |

| Do you export XMODIFIERS, GTK_IM_MODULE and QT_IM_MODULE with correct values ? |

I thought it was unneeded, but anyway, here is my .xinputrc, linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf:
| Quote: | XIM=ibus
XIM_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/ibus-daemon"
ICON="/usr/share/ibus/icons/ibus.svg"
XIM_ARGS="--xim"
PREFERENCE_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus-setup
SHORT_DESC="IBus"
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
if [ -z "$IBUS_SESSION_ID" ]; then
export IBUS_SESSION_ID=`mktemp -u XXXXXXXX`
fi |
And
| Quote: | $ echo $XMODIFIERS:$GTK_IM_MODULE:$QT_IM_MODULE
@im=ibus:ibus:ibus |

Actually, other than those three vars, I'm not setting anything, just letting xdg autostart file work.
What does 'emerge -1pv ibus' print ? |

I used to have it working before I reinstalled my Gentoo. Had the same with IBus in the past with other distributions.
Here you are:
| Quote: | # emerge -1pv ibus
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

Nothing strange, really. |

It might or might not be relevant, but for my case, I had to do "/etc/init.d/dbus start" solved the problem.
