I also have this bug. I've used the korean keyboard in previous ubuntu releases with iBus.
The korean layout is actually two keyboard layouts in one. The first one is similar to the english layout The second one is the hangul layout. I used to be able to switch between these two (still in the same korean ibus layout) with a key I mapped for that (Can't remember the name). The problem seems to be caused by the chronic impossibility to remap anything in Ubuntu + Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041887 Title: Cannot type Korean characters. Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I wanted to write some flashcards in korean. I navigated to the keyboard application and added the korean keyboard. The little keyboard widget with "en" appeared on the upper right hand corner. I switched the "en" to "ko" and tried typing. Not only did english characters appear, but the widget also still showed a dot on the "en" keyboard, even though I switched to the "ko" one.
