I just logged in into an LXDE session (on an Ubuntu installation), and for me that drop-down menu looked like it usually does, so I wasn't able to reproduce the behavior you describe.
Please note that you need to have both language-selector-gnome and language-selector-common installed. ~$ dpkg -l | grep language-selector ii language-selector-common 0.56 Language selector for Ubuntu Linux ii language-selector-gnome 0.56 Language selector for Ubuntu A side-note: By default it shows "none" for Vietnamese; don't know if that's how it should be... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to language-selector in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908762 Title: "Keyboard input method system" drop-down list is emtpy (ibus was installed) Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Lubuntu 11.10 and language-selector 0.56. I installed ibus (and tried with scim also) but "Keyboard input method system" drop-down list in Language Support window is always empty, there is nothing for me to select like previous version of Ubuntu/Lubuntu. I checked in Ubuntu 11.10 with ibus installed, language-selector shows 4 options: "none", "ibus", "lo-gtk" and "th-gtk".
