cannot type in Synapse launcher (ubuntu trusty)

[Gabriel Ortega]

Hi everyone!

I can't type anything in Synapse launcher. I'm using ubuntu trusty and here are the messages when I try to launch Synapse in terminal:

You shoud try to change your input method to use fcitx for example.
apt-get install fcitx
you can chosse your input method with
im-config

[Jérémy Munsch (jeremy-munsch)]

I just saw that on 15.04 synapse tells me its Using cedilla input method. And every thing works

[Gabriel Ortega (g-ortega-solis)]

Thanks for your answer!. I'm using fcitx right now and Synapse is working.
