Hi,

ibus is not loading neither the applet appearing in Gnome Shell wayland session in Ubuntu 17.10. These are the error messages I can find:

:~$ cat /var/log/kern.log |grep ibus*

I tried changing input method using im-config to xim and it did not yield any positive results. Also, I remember one time, there was a segmentation fault happened with ibus which I cannot reproduce again on this system.

Hi,

ibus is not working after months gone by. If I check ps aux |grep ibus shows that ibus is launched. But, there is nothing visible. No panel menu, no input option if I press SUPER+L . Kindly, let me know if anything can be done to resolve this.

:~$ ps aux |grep -i ibus
