@gunnar, Regarding your proposed fix for input methods not starting based on *session* user language:
Using im-switch 1.20ubunu3.1 from proposed, the issue described in #39 appears resolved. That is, LANG does not control whether ibus-daemaon starts on session start but instead session user-selected language does. There are four main cases, involving various combinations of languages that do and do not imply input methods, I think. I used English/US (en_US.UTF-8) and Chinese/Simplified (zh_CN.UTF-8) to test. 1) LANG=en_US.UTF-8; user selects English (US) at gdm. Expected result: ibus does not start at session start up time Actual result: ibus does NOT start VERIFIED 2) LANG=en_US.UTF-8; user selects Chinese/Simplified at gdm. Expected result: ibus does start at session start up time Actual result: ibus DOES start VERIFIED 3) LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8; user selects English (US) at gdm. Expected result: ibus does not start at session start up time Actual result: ibus does NOT start VERIFIED 4) LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8; user selects Chinese/Simplified at gdm. Expected result: ibus does start at session start up time Actual result: ibus DOES start VERIFIED Based on this, my opinion is the fix works. I hope native Chinese/Simplified can do additional testing to ensure ibus there are no regressions. Note that this is probably NOT, as you noted, the main issue: that input methods do not work in Unity search bar. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663776 Title: [dash] Search field in Unity can not support iBus -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
