[Solved] ibus broken after routine updates

absolutevoid · 2010-12-09 08:50:51

Hi all,

I had done a routine update today after which, I cannot make ibus work with kwrite. It still works with web input. But I use the text editor kwrite, a lot and so i am handicapped now. when I invoke ibus while kwrite is active, it recognises "No input window". What could be done? Thanks in advance.

PS: My architecture is X86_64 and am using KDE-meta packages.

I encountered the same problem, after upgrading qt to 4.7.1-2

bennyo · 2010-12-12 15:45:04

The odd thing is, that after that Upgrade.
I'm suddenly able to write japanese in Skype and Opera! I'm happy about that but in my most important application " Tagaini Jisho it doesn't work anymore and it comes to the same error that absolutvoid encounters: "No input window".
I don't know what kind of application Tagaini Jisho is, QT, GTK, XIM?

my .xprofile is the following:

export LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"
ibus-deamon -dx

Maybe somebody there for a hint? where to start researching for the error?

I encounter the same problem. I am using xfce.

Under Gedit you can choose your input method, and Ibus is not selected so the Ctrl-space isn't working. But if you do chose ibus you can use it… So it seems the modifiers aren't working anymore, i.e. the input method is not ibus by default anymore…

If someone have an idea to fix that.

jiehong · 2010-12-16 13:10:31

Ok, I've found out something that works for me. It appears that the exportations of the input method come after ibus's started…

My

export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="ibus"

was in my ~/.bashrc file. So I've decided to put those 3 lines in my ~/.xinitrc file and before my WM is launched. It's working (you have to close and restart X of course…).

Hope it can work for you.

bennyo · 2011-01-02 08:16:32

Got it working.
Guess the last ibus-qt Upgrade made it for me.

absolutevoid · 2011-01-20 05:20:04

Ibus is still broken for me. Any clue how to fix it? I now use the old but handicapped xkb to input text vernacular text into non web text area.

absolutevoid · 2011-04-15 09:07:10

I cleared this problem by changing a value in qtconfig

For those who want to know:

type qtconfig in konsole. A window will appear. take "Interface" tab in it. Look at the bottom to find a selection for Default Input Method. Most probably, xim will be there. Make it ibus from the drop down menu.

Now you can type using ibus in any of the programs as before.

Thanks. That worked for me.
