> echo 'exec /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize' >>~/.config/sway/config
Did you run ibus-wayland too in the config?
(In reply to fujiwara from comment #1) > > echo 'exec /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize' >>~/.config/sway/config > > Did you run ibus-wayland too in the config? I tried 3 things, without success: a) running both from sway, the config has this then: exec /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize exec /usr/libexec/ibus-wayland b) Without above 2 lines, and having this in the users .bashrc: [[ $(pgrep ibus-daemon) ]] || ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize -r /usr/libexec/ibus-wayland export IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes export IMSETTINGS_MODULE=ibus export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus c) When sway runs, killing ibus-daemon and trying to run both manually: [chris@космос ~]$ ibus-daemon --xim -r -v & [1] 99796 [chris@космос ~]$ (ibus-ui-gtk3:99807): IBUS-WARNING **: 17:55:01.529: panel.vala:255: If you launch KDE5 on xterm, export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE before launch KDE5. (ibus-ui-gtk3:99807): IBUS-WARNING **: 17:55:01.567: ibus_bus_call_sync: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Failed: No global engine. [chris@космос ~]$ [chris@космос ~]$ /usr/libexec/ibus-wayland No input_method global [chris@космос ~]$ Result seemed same for all of these, ibus-wayland did not get to run, ctrl+space never switched to other methods (these are configured with ibus-setup). Still seeing this. Interestingly, on sway in Firefox or Google chrome, I can use ibus to input Japanese. Just not on xterm or the terminal emulator "terminator". Also seeing this on 35. Seems like the actual switching with hotkey is the problem, as I can switch input method manually using for example ibus engine anthy The hack from https://github.com/mpsq/arewewaylandyet/issues/41#issuecomment-842678375 is a possible workaround, it maps a key combination from Sway to do the switching. With the hack in place, switching is possible as it should, just interestingly for me on xterm no hiragana-preview window appears. GTK apps, firefox, terminator for example work fine with the hack. This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a 'version' of '35'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' to a later Fedora Linux version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version prior to this bug being closed. Solved for me now on Fedora37, nice! Setup details: https://fluxcoil.net/wiki/software/sway#japanese_inputibus Bonus over fcitx5: when using fcitx and firefox in Wayland mode (not xorg emul), then the bookmarks can not be used, the menus do just flicker and can not be unfolded. Works nicely with ibus. |
Created attachment 1635626 [details] strace when running ibus-wayland from a terminal in sway Description of problem: ibus not responsive on wayland with sway as windowmanager Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ibus-wayland-1.5.21-3.fc31.x86_64 ibus-1.5.21-3.fc31.x86_64 ibus-mozc-2.23.2815.102-8.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedora31, select lxde-desktop-environment to get wayland installed 2. dnf -y install sway ibus-wayland ibus-mozc 3. useradd -m chris; passwd chris 4. Use this in the users .bashrc : [[ $(pgrep ibus-daemon) ]] || ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize -r export IMSETTINGS_INTEGRATE_DESKTOP=yes export IMSETTINGS_MODULE=ibus export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus 5. Boot system into multi-usermode, for example in setting it as default target and rebooting 6. login as user chris 7. run sway in executing 'sway' 8. get a terminal in pressing $mod + return (by default, $mod is the windows-key) 9. verify ibus-daemon is running: 'ps ax|grep ibus' 10. try to run ibuswayland: '/usr/libexec/ibus-wayland' Actual results: No input_method global Expected results: ibus-wayland should run, and I should be able to switch input method to mozc as configured with 'ibus-setup'. Additional info: - Might very well be an issue on my side.. but after trying this now for a week, taking that to bugzilla. - fcitx4 from Fedora works under sway. - When setting up ibus as above, I was never able to run ibus-wayland, and ibus did never react to attempts to switch the input method with shift+space or ctrl+space, I tried these combinations after setting them up with ibus-setup - Instead of running ibus-daemon from user .bashrc, I did run it from sway directly. Steps: mkdir ~/.config/sway cp /etc/sway/config ~/.config/sway/config echo 'exec /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --xim --daemonize' >>~/.config/sway/config The result is the same though. - When running ibus-daemon non-daemonizing from a terminal, I get this: [chris@космос ~]$ ibus-daemon -r -v (ibus-ui-gtk3:75725): IBUS-WARNING **: 15:00:43.303: panel.vala:255: If you launch KDE5 on xterm, export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=KDE before launch KDE5.

(and ibus-daemon stays running) - I tried various terminals, for example xterm and terminator
