I figured out a way to reproduce the problem: $ im-config -l ibus fcitx xim $ LC_MESSAGES=tr_TR.UTF-8 LANGUAGE= im-config -l xim $
By now I'm pretty sure that you have explicitly set either LC_MESSAGES or LC_ALL to "tr_TR.UTF-8". While I'd advise you from doing so on an Ubuntu desktop (none of those variables would have been explicitly set if you had relied on Language Support for handling your locale), it still makes no sense that it causes the 'im-config -l' command to fail. So I submitted a merge request to Debian: https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/im-config/merge_requests/3/diffs You should be able to fix it for yourself either by not setting LC_MESSAGES and/or LC_ALL explicitly, or by editing the /usr/share/im- config/xinputrc.common file in accordance with the merge request. Would appreciate your confirmation that this is it. ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1847618 Title: im-config ignores input methods other than xim in my current locale Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I use Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS. I can not reach other input methods such as ibus, fcitx in my current locale which is LANGUAGE=tr_TR.UTF-8. It's not listed in unity-control-center>Language Support>Keyboard Input Method System. If I launch unity-control-center from terminal which is using different locale "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8 unity-control-center" then there is no problem, all of the installed input methods are in the list. I also tested "python3 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/LanguageSelector/ImConfig.py" it also ignores input methods other than xim and none. If I export "LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8" it lists all the other input methods.
