Description Julian Sikorski 2009-05-31 11:11:31 UTC

Description of problem:
After an update to ibus-1.1.0.20090423-1.fc10 (hit stable a few days ago), im-chooser is no longer able to start ibus. It still attempts to launch /usr/sbin/ibus, which does not exist any more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ibus-1.1.0.20090423-1.fc10
im-chooser-1.2.5-1.fc10

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update ibus to the latest version found in f10 updates
2. go to system → preferences → personal → input method
3. attempt to launch ibus
  
Actual results:
Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/ibus" (No such file or directory)

Expected results:
ibus starts properly

Comment 1 Yao Wei Tjong 2009-05-31 15:07:21 UTC

I had same problem on x86_64. It appears the file "/usr/bin/ibus" is now missing. Temporary workaround: running "/usr/bin/ibus-setup" as normal user, choose yes to start the "ibus-daemon" when prompted.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2009-06-01 02:30:29 UTC

Apparently ibus package no longer ships /usr/bin/ibus. I don't know if it's expected thing or unexpected. for workaround, update to XIM_PROGRAM="/usr/bin/ibus-daemon" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ibus.conf.

Reassigning.

ibus-1.1.0.20090531-1.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Comment 5 Yao Wei Tjong 2009-06-07 08:58:00 UTC

Not very sure whether it is related with the latest package. Before the upgrade I could see quite a few Chinese input methods. After the upgrade to 1.1.0.20090531-1.fc10, there are now only two Chinese input methods available (pinyin and chewing). All the other installed input methods are gone. The upgrade solves the im-chooser problem described above though.
