Oops forgot about this bug , splitting the bug as per chat with mpt a while ago. This bug is only about the message.
mpt, I'v read the wikipedia page too earlier and had done an informal user testing of the name with 2 people who dont use Ubuntu and neither could recognize the function without digging deeper into the options in the tab. Before exploring the "input method" tab one replied it was "option for onscreen keyboard" while the other just gave up trying to guess what it meant. On the plus side, Both were *very* surprised that the language input could be done in Ubuntu by default though ;-) ** Description changed: Binary package hint: ibus Karmic recently(?) added an "iBus Preferences" item to the Preferences menu. If you click it, you get a dialog saying "IBus daemon is not started. Do you want to start it now?". How is a user supposed to know if they want to or not, when there's no explanation what an IBus daemon is? + + --- + This bug is only about the message when Ibus was *not* started. + --- + Rename Menu item Ibus preferences to "Keyboard Input Methods" > Bug #596058 + "IBus has been started!" message is incorrect and geeky > Bug #485174 + ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Sep 3 15:09:10 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: ibus 1.2.0.20090723-1 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/zsh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.30-9.10-generic SourcePackage: ibus Uname: Linux 2.6.30-9-generic i686 -- "IBus daemon is not started" message unhelpful https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/423525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
