Mnemosyne 2.0 crashing on ubuntu 12.04 and problem with dead keys

[Ataías Pereira Reis]

Hello!

I've just installed mnemosyne 2.0 on a new ubuntu installation and then I imported my flashcards from mnemosyne 1.2. This was ok, but while I'm using the program, it often crashes. Sometimes faster, sometimes it lasts a little to crash, but all the times I've opened it and revised some flashcards, it ended in a crashing. When it crashes, it stops working and I must kill the process and then try to open it again.

I've just noticed another problem to me, dead keys. I'm using ibus, so I can type in Japanese that I've just started to learn, but my keyboard is a Brazilian keyboard and I always want to write a word with an accent like á, é, ó, ü, in Portuguese and other languages. Anyway, in mnemosyne it appears like ´a, ´e, ´o, ¨u. Well, in version 1.2 there was an option that I think was something like "scim" that I always chose in the menu that appeared with a right-button click when I wanted to use the dead keys. I have a problem with dead keys with my web browser and changed it, now I have the problem with mnemosyne 2.0, unfortunately.

Well, I hope there's a solution to that, but if not yet... how would I uninstall version 2.0?

Hoping some help, and thanks for all

For the crashes, use this version:

http://users.ugent.be/~pbienst/pub/Mnemosyne-2.0.1-RC1.tar.gz

The official 2.0.1 release will be coming in a few days.

Mnemosyne does not implement anything special to allow for alternative
input methods like ibus or scim, it just relies on Qt/PyQt to handle
this.

Are you sure you installed the ibus-qt package? Perhaps the people of
the ibus or the scim project will be able to help you to get these
things working with Qt applications.

Let me know how it goes!

Hello Peter, thanks for your answer!

I've been using mnemosyne 2.0.1 for a while, and it hadn't crashed today, it seems to be ok at least for now, I hope it will keep running like that.

No, ibus-qt wasn't installed, now it is ok, thanks!
