[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once: apport-collect and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. ** Changed in: lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425510 Title: Default IM configuration causes hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/1425510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs
@Cefn, I'm curious you have installed ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 or not. Because you installed gtk2 app(e.g. inkscape) on Lubuntu. FWIW, Ubuntu has dependency to ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 by default because it's has gtk2 and gtk3 apps in the image. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425510 Title: Default IM configuration causes hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1425510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

In answer to the specific question about ibus-gtk3 no, it is not installed. I guess because it's not a dependency of the Lubuntu Utopic build.

[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs
Summary: At this point I have a stable desktop where I don't have to reduce my touch-typing speed by a factor of 20 in order to achieve any text input at all (which is how it was this morning before disabling IBUS in my Language Support preferences). I think ibus-gtk was already installed by default, and selected (at least that's what shows in the Language Support GUI). However, I don't know how ibus-gtk relates to xim, and the problems between xim and e.g. Inkscape remain unspoken. The assertion that no IM module was installed seems to be an assumption from @happyaron but it's hard to tell if that's what he meant, or why, from his very short comment. However, querying the environment variables by running 'export' in bash you see... declare -x GTK_IM_MODULE=xim ...both before (when ibus was selected) and after selecting 'none' in the Language Support GUI and logging out and in again. I have no idea where this is coming from, but I suspect it's to do with im-config, given it explicitly exports that environment variable I couldn't find another reference to it in my profile or session files, but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I installed SCIM manually, (scim-gtk-immodule) following advice online that running applications with SCIM was a good way to workaround the bug/feature interaction/whatever (no-one seems to want to talk about the actual bug), as described at http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=29t=18042 which I needed to resolve because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1385009 IBUS seems to also be related to this serious bug I was also experiencing... https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 so disabling it seemed like a good idea. Given my keyboard input is all in ASCII (as you'd expect from a en-GB or en-US configured laptop) I fail to see why there's internationalisation support baked into my desktop anyway, especially if it's buggy and prevents so many applications on the desktop from operating. However, so far I would say I have a slim grasp of what the actual bug might be, despite all the reports I've read. So far, only workarounds and buck- passing. Searching the repositories for anything to do with a binary or lib ending xim gives me the following, and neither im-switch or uim-xim are installed... $ apt-file search --regexp 'xim$' cyrus-common: /usr/share/doc/cyrus-common/README.exim cyrus-doc: /usr/share/doc/cyrus-doc/README.exim debian-lan-config: /usr/share/debian-lan-config/fai/config/scripts/MAIL_SERVER/10-exim devscripts: /usr/share/doc/devscripts/examples/forward.exim exim4-daemon-heavy: /usr/sbin/exim exim4-daemon-light: /usr/sbin/exim im-switch: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default-xim im-switch: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/th-xim logcheck-database: /etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server/sa-exim logwatch: /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/exim mlterm-common: /etc/mlterm/xim postgrey: /usr/share/doc/postgrey/README.exim sa-exim: /usr/share/lintian/overrides/sa-exim sks: /etc/sks/forward.exim sks: /usr/share/doc/sks/sampleConfig/debian/forward.exim uim-xim: /usr/bin/uim-xim ** Bug watch added: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues #456766 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425510 Title: Default IM configuration causes hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1425510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs
Hi, Aron. Thanks for looking into this bug for me. I acknowledge what you're saying that it's someone else's fault, but without more detail about what you actually think is going on, this may be misinterpreted. I personally have no idea what is going on, and can't contribute to resolving this through other projects' bugtrackers without your contribution. What 'kind' of bug is in the applications, that means an im-config change can workaround it? Recently, keyboard input problems, including loss of responsiveness and loss of individual key events, seem to apply to almost all of my applications actually (even incredibly simple ones like Geany and Terminal), so if all of these applications have the same problem, I doubt whether it's an individual application developer at fault. Regarding the Chrome bug, when you say you have to get GTK2 IM Module installed that is not a package name, so I can't install it. Are you implying that the fault is in not having any IM Module installed? (I have to read between the lines as your comment was very terse) I already have both ibus and scim installed, (and ibus was selected under PreferencesLanguage SupportKeyboard Input Method System), so this is not the case on my system. I also can't file an upstream bug to get anyone to package it (either Chrome OR Chromium - where Ubuntu maintainers can control packaging). Do you have one or more package names from Ubuntu repositories that your suggestion might relate to. For reference, those others experiencing a problem, I've found a workaround right now (on Lubuntu) is to entirely disable international input support, by going to PreferencesLanguage SupportKeyboard Input Method System and selecting 'none', then restarting the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425510 Title: Default IM configuration causes hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1425510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs
That's problem in the applications, not input methods or im-config. For the chrome stuff it's known you have to get GTK2 IM Module installed, otherwise the XIM support in Aura is broken (and Google is not intending to fix that). ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Status: New = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425510 Title: Default IM configuration causes hangs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/im-config/+bug/1425510/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
