That confuses me. I see that you use an XFCE desktop, and the only icon you should have AFAIK is "IBus Preferences" which starts a GUI for certain settings. Quitting that should only quit "IBus Preferences" while ibus-daemon should keep running. If you have something else, can you please take a screenshot to show us what it looks like. ibus-daemon is not an application. It's a background process, and on Debian/Ubuntu it's started silently at login while a few related environment variables are set. If you want to use some other IM framework, e.g. Fcitx or uim, you can tell the system so in "Language Support", and after next reboot it will start Fcitx or uim at login instead and assign other values to the related variables. > However, in crashes in 18.xx I remember that `ibus restart` would > simply tell me "there is no running instance" and do nothing. Right, if the ibus-daemon process is not running, "ibus restart" won't help. But there are 'crashes' which don't kill ibus-daemon, and then "ibus restart" often helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922186 Title: ibus very difficult to restart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/1922186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
