Many ibus-libpinyin users in the Chinese Ubuntu forum have reported very satisfactory results--they have expressed very pleasant surprised that this tool has improved SO MUCH! However, there is one more very important update that is still not in the current version. If anyone is still doing the

I consulted with Sebastien on IRC, and we concluded that we will not backport libpinyin 2.3.0 to bionic and disco for now for the reasons stated above. Ubuntu 19.10, with version 2.3.0, will be released tomorrow, so users who want to do the transition will have the option to upgrade their Ubuntu

Right, it will clean the user input history when upgrade from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0. But libpinyin 2.3.0 is more stable, and ship better pinyin data. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus-libpinyin in Ubuntu.

Deleting the cache also wipes out the personal dictionary, which is a critical component in libpinyin and pinyin operations. The version of libpinyin in 19.10 has been moved to 2.3; whereas it stays in 2.2 in 19.04. My experience is, ibus-libpinyin still has stability problems in 19.04. The

Great! That crash file is way over my head. But if that command fixed it, the issue was upstream in nature, so possibly you should point at that file in the upstream issue. If you have used ibus-libpinyin previously in Ubuntu 18.04, there is a chance that it's somehow related to bug #1768166,
