Here's a hack I learned about in #ibus that gets things working as they should (until the next time the ibus-anthy package is updated, I guess)
First, add 'de' to 'keyboard_layouts' in /usr/share/ibus-anthy/setup/anthyprefs.py Second, run /usr/lib/ibus/ibus-setup-anthy and really, really force anthy to use the German layout in "Typing Methods - Keyboard layout" No hack or workaround is currently known for ibus-mozc or any of the other input engines. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302353 Title: regression: ibus ignores keyboard layout Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The recent update of unity packages introduced a bad regression for ibus users. I assume the fault lies with unity since ibus hasn't been updated for several weeks and my machine was fine until about two days ago around which time some unity updates rolled in. I have a German keyboard layout (QWERTZ not QWERTY as in the US case). I use anthy and mozc for Japanese input. Since two days ago the default layout with the Japanese IME are a US layout throwing me off when blind-typing. To look into the matter, I opened ibus-setup and there are three Input methods listed there: English - English (US), Japanese - Anthy and Japanese -Mozc. German was conspicuously absent . I eventually managed to add a German layout to it and delete the US layout. I then restart ibus with "ibus restart" only to find the US keyboard layout not only back but it's default again. Argh! In other words, the explicit choice I'm trying to force doesn't stick. There are four keyboard layouts currently defined in "System Settings - Text Entry - Input sources to use", none of them have anything to do with a US-layout; de1, de2, anthy and mozc. I cycle through them via Super+Space. Anthy is set to use the system default layout. The regression is that it currently inists on US layout with no way to even override this silly choice.
