Re: [Bug 1768166] Re: Random crashes

I tried your ibus-pinyin ppa; the problem still persists. I will explain that in better detail later. Basically, after 18.04 (no problem there), ibus-pinyin fails to update the hierarchy of an "entered" word or phase in the "candidate list". This is one of the most important features of a

Hello, This is a friendly reminder of my "call for testing" about a week ago. Before moving the proposed upgrade of ibus-libpinyin and friends to bionic-updates, it would be highly desirable to get feedback from a few users who speak Simplified Chinese. So if you can help with this, and assuming

I have been hearing this swan song for several years now that ibus-pinyin is being or has been deprecated. Actually it is a miracle that ibus-pinyin still works in Ubuntu--*and only in Ubuntu*. For unknown and very strange reasons, I can never make ibus-pinyin work in Fedora, or even in Debian.

Call for testing I hope for help by both Ping-Wu (the bug reporter) and other Chinese users to test the proposed upgrade of the ibus-libpinyin package in Ubuntu 18.04. I have subscribed the Ubuntu CJK Testers team to this bug report to reach out to more possible testers.

Currently ibus-libpinyin FTBFS on bionic-proposed, but this is unrelated to the changes in our package. There seems to be some SRUs ongoing there (particularly one for libio-socket-ssl-perl) that are causing some installability issues for gnome-common. It's a long dependency chain leading there,

So generally, with my SRU hat on, after a longer discussion with Gunnar I think we should give the backport a spin - but under specific conditions. We would be keeping the SRU in -proposed for longer than 7 days and I'd appreciate some wider-testing during that time (maybe some call for testing?).

As I stated in the Chinese Ubuntu forum, I almost always stick to only the LTS versions of Ubuntu. I made an exception wrt 18.04 LTS and moved up to 19.04 and even 19.10 because ibus-libpinyin 1.11 is not available in 18.04. However, 19.04 and 19.10 have their own problems and are not

I have hesitated about upgrading, since the problem seems to have been present also with version 1.10 according to the crash reports. However, in Ubuntu 19.04 ibus-libpinyin was upgraded to 1.11, and it looks like there is a significant reduction of crashes in 19.04 compared to 18.04 and 18.10.
