This issue occurs in Kubuntu 20.04 even with gnome-icon-theme installed. The panel icon/applet goes missing while ibus-daemon is running. The keyboard shortcut to switch input methods also stops working.
Workaround: ibus-daemon -rxd This restarts the daemon, and causes the icon/applet to appear in the panel and makes the keyboard shortcut to work as intended. This workaround is temporary and has to be repeated every time the issue occurs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854333 Title: ibus GUI not loading, unable to use input Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ibus package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: I'm using oneiric since alpha3, and despite all the updates and bugfixes, ibus is just not working under ubuntu, nor kubuntu. kernel: 3.0.0-11 (also previous versions) ibus: 1.3.99.20110419-1ubuntu3 (also ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3, ibus-qt4, ibus-pinyin packages are installed and up-to-date, with all dependencies) kubuntu 11.10 The problem is that even though ibus-daemon starts up at login, but it doesn't do anything, the icon doesn't appear in the notificaion area, and I can't seem to switch to a different method with the hotkey either. When I try running ibus-daemon from the command line, i get the answer that it's already running for this session. Also there is no way under language support to install chinese language pack, only the translations, all the other options are greyed out (input methods, etc) since oneiric. There isn't any error messages whatsoever, it just doesn't work, and also the same with scim and uim too.
