Public bug reported: Skype 4.0.0.8 is 32bit qt application. Input method should be done with qt-immodule, ibus-qt and arbitrary ibus input method engine.
It works well with 32bit(i386) environment but there is a issue in 64bit, amd64 environment. ibus-qt4 is not multi-arch supported. There cannot co-exist libibus-qt1 :amd64, i386. so I cannot install libibus-qt1:i386. It make Skype cannot connect with ibus input method engine in amd64 environment. In 12.04, dependent icu48 also don't support multi-arch, but it support m-a in 12.10. An attachment is a patch for ibut-qt4 to suport m-a and co-installable i386/amd64 libraries. I can use input-method in Skype 4.0.0.8 on amd64 environment with this patch and libicu48:i386/amd64 from 12.10. ** Affects: ibus-qt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "m-a support of ibus-qt4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077490/+attachment/3429922/+files/ibus-qt-multiarch-2.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1077490 Title: Input method in Skype on amd64 after 12.04 breaks To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-qt/+bug/1077490/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
