Here some ways that should work and how they fail: 1) Menu -> ibus ----------------- - opens iBus settings - starts ibus service Problems: - No keyboard input is actually processed; I.e. cannot use keyboard then. - Service is not daemonized; I.e. as soon as the iBus settings window is closed, the services quits. Suggestion: - No keyboard input possible seems to be a bug -> should be fixed. - Service should be daemonized at this point 2) terminal -> `ibus start` --------------------------- Problems: - This command does not exist. One has to know, that `ibus-daemon` is the one they are searching for. Suggestions: - Implement this command to start the daemon from here 3) terminal -> `ibus-daemon &` / `ibus-daemon -d` ------------------------------------------------- - brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good) Problems: - As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits 4) terminal -> `nohup ibus-daemon &` ------------------------------------------------- - brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good) Problem: - As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits (very strange. something I wouldn't expect from a `nohup` call, by the way).
