I just found that this problem is not present in Debian testing, even if they have the same version of both mutter and ibus. Something seems to make Xwayland start at login, and hence ibus-x11 is also running.
That speaks against using im-config to work around it, since im-config is used by both Debian and Ubuntu. I think we need to ask the Ubuntu desktop folks for advice. -- 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/1946969 Title: ibus-x11 does not start automatically Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: ibus-x11 does not start automatically due to Xwayland on demand by default. IBus user does not input any cjkv languages before start to ibus-x11 or xwayland process. Steps to reproduce: 1. run Ubuntu 21.10 installer 2. select Japanese language 3. finish to install and reboot 4. login 5. reboot 6. login 7. push Windows key + Space key and select Japanese (Mozc) 8. run gedit 9. push Hankaku/Zenkaku key Expected results: show any Japanese characters Actual results: input any alphabetical key which I push observation: This may be mutter's matter. Xwayland on demand by default https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1673 workaround: 1. run gnome-terminal and run command "ibus-daemon -rxd" 2. run any xwayland application like Libreoffice 3. use X session 4. restart IBus automatically when log in exaple: $ sudo editor /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=ibus-autostart Exec=sh -c 'if [ "${IM_CONFIG_CHECK_ENV}" = "1" ] && [ "${XDG_SESSION_TYPE}" = "wayland" ] && [ "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" = "ubuntu:GNOME" ] || [ "${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" = "GNOME" ]; then ibus-daemon -rxd true; fi' TryExec=ibus-daemon Type=Application To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1946969/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
