Installing in China leads to no Chinese language text input

[KT]

I installed two computers, just with standard process, from within China. They were normal 64 bit images of 14.04 downloaded from the Ubuntu website, English version.

Because its from within China, the install tried to somehow customize. I had Chinese in my list of languages, even before I had installed Chinese, and when I opened language support in settings it prompted me to download several files (which is normal), and all those files were Chinese language.

After installing Chinese, I went to text-input, but there was only a generic "Chinese" option, and that isn't an input method. Although several input methods were installed on the computer, none of them were available options in the text input dialog. I tried to make those options in vain.

I reinstalled with no internet on both computers, and then was able to choose from two input methods, even before connecting and installing Chinese language. Now it works fine.

Thank you for your bug report.

Aron, do you have an idea what is wrong there? Is that the ubiquity configuration?

Would be nice to see if there's installation log, to see if there's something wrong that ubiquity uninstalled ibus related packages unexpectedly. I can't really reproduce the problem and it's not a bug in u-c-c (not a thing of displaying the list, but should be the engine or framework does not exist).
