I have uploaded modified versions of im-config and language-selector to this PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/im-config-gnome Please feel free to upload and test. With those changes, im-config (and gnome-language-selector) will default to IBus in Ubuntu GNOME. I added an exception for Ubuntu GNOME, so it will not default to fcitx even if a CJKV language is used as the display language. This seemed to be the most reasonable solution, considering the limitations of gnome-control-center in this respect. I also changed pkg_depends so it pulls IBus IM engines for Chinese in Ubuntu GNOME. (Currently it does not.) It should be noted that you don't need to install language-selector- gnome to switch between IM frameworks (IBus, fcitx, etc.). It can be done from the im-config GUI "Input Method Configuration" or from command line. Let me know if you have any objections on the proposed changes. Personally I think it would make sense to at least try to *allow* the users to use fcitx, even if g-c-c doesn't support it. Possibly it would require that the settings of the IM related environment variables in gnome-session are commented. (im-config sets them anyway as long as IBus is the selected IM framework.) I added a gnome-session task as a reminder. ;) @Nikita: The input source you should use for typing Japanese is "Japanese (Anthy)" or possibly "Japanese (Mozc)". ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => In Progress ** Changed in: language-selector (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Also affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551283 Title: "Region & Language" settings should allow you to set keyboard input method system To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1551283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
