[Touch-packages] [Bug 1573755] Re: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04

The fix suggested by hgrie works for me. ibus-setup is running ibus- daemon, which immediately fixed the issue and lasts until logout. I note that adding 'ibus-daemon --xim' as a startup application is a permanent fix for the issue in my case. -- You received this bug notification because you

Also affects me on Lubuntu 16.04. Installing IBus (sudo apt ibus) and using Preferences > Language Support to change the Keyboard input method system to IBus, followed by a system reboot, has fixed the issue (compose:ralt in Keyboard Layout Handler now functions as expected). -- You received

ubuntu 16.04 unity: find same problem that .XCompose with alt-right key works in terminal and terminal-based applications (vi, yes I am that old) -- but not in firefox, libreoffice, thunderbird, emacs, etc. In my case, rm -f ~/.config/dconf/user did not work, nor did any of the other tricks.

Yes, who knows. I'll wait until 18.1 is available, and if it's not solved, then I'll investigate further. Thank you, @Gunnar Hjalmarsson! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu.

Maybe there is a Mint specific issue too, and if so you may want to file a Mint bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1573755 Title: Compose and dead keys

Thank you, @Gunnar Hjalmarsson. I'm still on LM18, maybe update to 18.1 when available for Xfce version will take up those changes. Unfortunately, fixing this caused a different kate problem now... Can't paste with Ctrl+V (just in case anyone encounters the same as a result of following my

@Hachmann: Well, I forgot that you are on Linux Mint... At the release of Ubuntu 16.04 "none" meant actually "XIM". It has been changed via updates, so on an updated Ubuntu 16.04 you have both a "none" option (actually setting "none") and a "XIM" option. I suspect that those changes have not been

@Gunnar Hjalmarsson: It was set to 'none' before, so maybe mine is a different bug, then? (XIM wasn't available for choice in the LM settings dialog for input method, I didn't know how to find out if it was used, but not displayed.). -- You received this bug notification because you are a

@Hachmann: Yeah, it seems to be related to XIM, and several users have reported that switching to input method IBus (or "none") fixes it. Has anybody tried to make XIM work by simply removing the cache in ~/.cache/? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch

I've got this problem on Linux Mint 18 Xfce (sorry...), German keyboard, for kde based apps, ever since I upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. konsole and kate are the applications where it hurts most. Neither Compose key+accent+char nor typing the accent, then the char, work for me (I only need ^, ´

Hello Everybody. At this dead keys problem, I stumble upon now - however, so far, just in LibreOffice. Ever since a few weeks, I work at a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04 - along with KDE Plasma 5.6.5, installed via the Kubuntu ppa backports. Dead keys work in all applications except LibreOffice -

I upgraded from Trusty to Xenial. Before the upgrade, the compose key was working in all applications, except maybe Torchat (which I hadn't used for months before the upgrade). After the upgrade: *Konqueror works properly when I use the Dvorak layout and the compose key. If, however, I switch

I am in the same situation as Rudiger, with the compose key working in Terminal and Dash but not anywhere else I can find. System upgraded to 16.04. All fixes listed above attempted, with no improvement. Not sure if this helps, but I also had a strange behaviour in terminal for a while where the

For me, the behaviour is completely the opposite of those reported by others: Apps with Compose key working: - Gnome Terminal, Dash search field Apps with Compose key ineffective - Gedit, LibreOffice, Chrome, Firefox But when creating a new user and copying my .XCompose to him, for that user

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1573755] Re: Compose and dead keys stopped working with XIM after upgrade to 16.04

This bug report was one reason why I submitted . Considering that XIM currently may cause problems in an unpredictable manner, we'd better stop setting it automatically in certain flavors, at least until the root cause has been spotted and the problem fixed.
