/usr/libexec/ibus-ui-gtk3 --enable-wayland-im system freezes

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub]

Apport captured a system freeze [crash] which required a hard reboot.
However I could not confirm that the report was successfully uploaded.

The /var/log/apport.log entry is as follows.
--------

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Libera.chat.

To change the source package that this bug is filed about visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2043442/+editstatus and add the package name in the text box next to the word Package.

Thanks for your report.

I see Plasma and Wayland, which reminds me of <https://askubuntu.com/q/1490498> and <https://bugs.debian.org/1052005>.

* Have you applied the IBus Wayland virtual keyboard?

* If you have, can you please run this command:

  im-config -n none

  and reboot, and then let us know if that improves things.

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub (luigiwriter2)]

Thankyou for your quick response and question.
I opened the following to check
Settings > Input Devices > Keyboard > Generic 104-key PC is selected there
Then noticed the object of your question.
IBus Wayland is apparently the default with Ubuntu Studio.
Help me, my assumptions are often suspect, thus this question. Is selecting
Settings > Input Devices > Virtual Keyboard > [None] the same as
"im-config -n none" in Konsole
I have selected [None] and will reboot.
Also if you have the time.
Does "im" only concern the Virtual Keyboard, or am I turning off other
features as well?
A point to a source that will help me understand "im" will help me in the
future.

should have read bug #1052005 <email address hidden> first. Looks like
my reading list is already provided. Thanks
 but clarification on the selection in System Settings vs the im-config
command would ease my uncertainty.
   Thanks again

[L. P. Luigi Espenlaub (luigiwriter2)]

Thank you Paul.
I did hit a launchpad problem in that the link
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2043442/+editstatus
returns

"Lost something?

This page does not exist, or you may not have permission to see it.

If you have been to this page before, it is possible it has been removed.

Check that you are logged in with the correct account, or that you entered
the address correctly, or search for it:"

Could you point me to where to report this launchpad.net broken link?

I have returned to bug 2043442 and confirmed I could select to edit it
there so no problem for me. However, I would like to help others not to
encounter the same error by reporting it properly.

Between you and Gunnar I have learned much, Thanks,
