Description mattias.eriksson 2025-12-03 07:00:31 UTC

COSMIC doesn't use Ibus, this causes it to show an error on login. The fix is to disable it for COSMIC-wayland sessions the same way it is disabled for KDE.

In the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf
Edit line to be:
IMSETTINGS_IGNORE_SESSION=KDE-wayland,COSMIC-wayland


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install COSMIC
2. Login

Comment 1 Ryan Brue 2025-12-03 17:20:33 UTC

Created a PR in IBus: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ibus/pull-request/42

Comment 2 fujiwara 2025-12-05 07:51:54 UTC

I'm not sure how you used imsettings but I think COSMIC Wayland does not use X11/xinit.

Did you try the IBus configuration?

Comment 3 mattias.eriksson 2025-12-05 08:14:52 UTC

No, I tried this on a fresh Fedora COSMIC install. And from what I understand from https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-session/issues/110 , ibus is not supported by COSMIC atm. Hence, I think it should be disabled out of the box to avoid errors. A possible more desirable solution would be to fix the root cause and make sure cosmic can start ibus correctly on Fedora, but it sounds like that is a larger fix.

> ibus is not supported by COSMIC atm

COSMIC does not support the autostart and the configuration as I liked should work.

Comment 5 fujiwara 2025-12-05 08:28:30 UTC

Ah, ok probably I understand %ibus_xinit_condition should not include the Wayland only sessions in ibus.spec.

Comment 6 fujiwara 2025-12-05 08:31:14 UTC

This is a candidate fix:
