I have tested the daily build ISO from this morning UTC. If I enter Ubiquity's welcome screen, select zh_CN from there and "Try Ubuntu", "Intelligent Pinyin" is now - unlike before - active in the resulting session, and I can select it via the input source indicator or <Super>+<Space> and start inputting Chinese instantly. Also tried ja_JP, also with a positive result.
If I enter the isolinux menu, select e.g. ja_JP from there and "Try Ubuntu before installing", it looks exactly as previously, i.e. "Mozc" is available together with one Japanse XKB layout. (No regression, in other words.) Due to these positive results I will submit a bionic merge proposal with this change, and with the goal to have this improvement make it to the 18.04.3 ISO. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786344 Title: Default IBus input method ignored in live session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1786344/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
