Re: Gnome, IBus, and Rime: IBus engines are not switched

[Tristan Trim]

I have this problem as well. I'm using us, dvorak, and zh, however all of them when selected are staying as us.

I can switch between us and dvorak by typing :

$ ibus engine xkb:us:dvorak:eng
$ ibus engine xkb:us::eng     

But I can never get chinese to work this way, and the system tray does nothing.

I'll post back here if I figure anything out.

Cheerio,
TT

Hi,

Recently, I stumbled over odd behaviour after installing ibus-rime on a rather

fresh Arch installation. Switching between my two configured input methods

(German, Chinese) works nicely both by keystroke or the menu in the systray of

my Gnome Shell. I expected that this will make IBus change to an appropriate

engine.

However, whenever I switch between the Chinese and German input methods (I can

observe the systray icon change from de to zh or the other way round), IBus

always reports the following:

$ ibus engine

xkb:us::eng

Chinese input does not work (the keyboard changes to US though). When switching

to German, then everything works as expected, even though IBus still reports

xkb:us::eng as the engine in use. I found this workaround

$ ibus engine rime

$ ibus engine

rime

By manually setting the IBus engine, Chinese input works as expected.  Do you

have a clue how to make IBus change to the right engine after switching input

methods? Or is it likely to be misconfiguration in my locale settings?

Here are the versions I am using:

* gnome-shell 3.8.3

* ibus-rime 0.9.9

* ibus 1.5.2

Does anyone experience the same troubles?

Cheers,

Julius

I got the same issue. shortcut super-space does switch en icon to zh icon at system tray, but actually ibus engine is still using xkb:us::eng, unless you manually set it to specific engine.

I finally settled on using ibus-pinyin rather than ibus-rime. It works well enough, and now that I understand the phonetic typing method it actually makes a lot of sense to me. I still don't really know what was causing the problem, unfortunately.
