im trying to set my kubuntu to accept Japanese input, I followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkwgyevmSGk#t=95

I clicked ibus, But it does nothing, I cant see anything ibus on my system tray. Later I did this and it fixed the issue, ibus now showing on my tray properly

sudo im-config

and change the input method from default to iBus. Then log out and login.

but whenever I right click the tray -> preferences -> it does nothing, nothing pop up on my side, it just does nothing. The other menu, (About, Restart, Quit) is working, but whenever I try to click "Preferences" it does nothing. Anyone can tell me what I missed? Thanks

I'm on : Kubuntu 13.10

  • You should not use sudo when running the im-config command. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Mar 01 '14 at 16:26
  • what should I do to fix it? – user252612 Mar 01 '14 at 16:32
  • I'm not a Kubuntu user, but you should be able to access the IBus preferences dialog by running the ibus-setup command in a terminal window. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Mar 02 '14 at 00:00
  • hey I have this error, is there something wrong with my ibus installation?

    RROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Gtk Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/ibus/setup/main.py", line 29, in from gi.repository import Gtk ImportError: cannot import name Gtk

Seems like you run into https://launchpad.net/bugs/1258867, so

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-gtk-3.0

should do it.
