Public bug reported:
UK keyboard is NOT available as an input method in uBuntu 14.04 LTS ibus
(1.5.5-1ubuntu3) input method selection.
Please can someone fix this omission by adding the appropriate info to
/usr/share/ibus/component/simple.xml as having the system incorrectly
default to a US keyboard is a real pain - you can't put anything in
quotes or pipe output from one command into another. It makes a UK
keyboard system unusable.
My simple solution is to add the 'gb' keyboard as follows:
<engine>
<name>xkb:gb::eng</name>
<language>eng</language>
<license>GPL</license>
<layout>gb</layout>
<longname>English (UK)</longname>
<description>English (UK)</description>
<icon>ibus-keyboard</icon>
<rank>99</rank>
</engine>
A better solution would be to process files in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols and add ALL available xkb keyboards to
simple.xml as a post installation operation. Doing this would help
people see the advantages of ibus instead of fighting it to try and get
a usable system.
