Public bug reported: OS: Ubuntu 18.04 Daily Built 2018-03-08.
As reported in the Ubuntu Chinese forum (in Chinese): http://forum.ubuntu.com.cn/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=486823 users cannot input Chinese characters. It appears the daily built uses sunpinyin as the default Chinese input method. But sunpinyin is not included in the iso. Sunpinyin has not been maintained for at least a couple of years; several problems have been reported associated therewith but remain unsolved, and it doesn't appear that the problems will be solved any time soon. Ibus-libpinyin has been working very smoothly inside Bionic. Its frequency table regarding single words can be improved, but it works very well for phrases. I suggest we change the default Chinese input method from sunpinyin to libpinyin (i.e., intelligent pinyin). This is an urgent matter. ** Affects: ibus-libpinyin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756205 Title: Can't input Chinese characters in daily built To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-libpinyin/+bug/1756205/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
