Public bug reported: [Impact]
This is a follow-up of bug #1893551, where we stopped im-config from interfering in case of a GNOME desktop. Even if Budgie uses the same applicable GNOME components, we didn't change it for Budgie at that time since IBus input methods were not reliably reflected in the Keyboard Layout applet. However, that issue has been fixed now. Also, the most common ibus crash type is now Budgie related: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/f0690c64c769b06c2ce0513667bd7a52f53ebd27 We have reasons to hope that letting im-config back off also for Budgie will reduce the number of crashes as has already happened for standard Ubuntu (see comment #2 at bug #1879958). At least we have nothing to lose by trying... [Test case] I'm not aware of a way to reproduce the crashes, and thus can't confirm in advance that the proposed upload makes a difference. However, we should confirm that IBus input methods can be used smoothly on Budgie: * Install Budgie in a VM * Install the version of im-config from -proposed * Install ibus-libpinyin * Add the Keyboard Layout applet in Budgie Desktop Settings * Re-login * Add Intelligent Pinyin to the input sources in Settings * Confirm that switching between the input sources works without problems and that you can input Chinese characters [Regression risk] When used, im-config does two things: It launches an IM framework and sets some IM related variables. The test case serves the purpose of confirming that those things are properly accomplished without im-config in case of IBus. So given a successful verification the regression risk due to the proposed change should be low. ** Affects: im-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) Status: In Progress ** Affects: im-config (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) Status: New ** Affects: im-config (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) Status: New ** Affects: im-config (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Also affects: im-config (Ubuntu Groovy) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: im-config (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu Groovy) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #972600 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972600 ** Also affects: im-config (Debian) via https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972600 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- 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/1901460 Title: Back off also if IBus on Budgie Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in im-config source package in Focal: New Status in im-config source package in Groovy: New Status in im-config package in Debian: Unknown Bug description: [Impact] This is a follow-up of bug #1893551, where we stopped im-config from interfering in case of a GNOME desktop.
