Bug 859264

I added some debug “print” statements to /usr/share/ibus/setup/main.py
like this:

         setup = str(engine.get_setup())

         if len(setup) != 0:

         libexecdir = os.environ['IBUS_LIBEXECDIR']
         setup_path = (libexecdir + '/' + 'ibus-setup-' if libexecdir != None \
             else 'ibus-setup-') + name.split(':')[0]

             args.append(path.basename(setup_path))
         return args
 
mfabian@ari:/usr/share/ibus/setup

And when I now start “ibus-setup” from the command line, I see:

    mfabian@ari:/usr/share/ibus/setup
    $ ibus-setup
    mike setup=
    mike name=en_US
    mike name=en_US setup_path=/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-en_US

I.e. engine.get_setup() returns nothing and then it falls back to
what engine.get_name(), which is just “en_US” and then tries
/usr/libexec/ibus-setup-en_US as the path of the setup binary, which
doesn’t exist.

What exists is:

    mfabian@ari:~
    $ ls /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-typing-booster 
    /usr/libexec/ibus-setup-typing-booster*
    mfabian@ari:~
    $ 

I.e. either engine.get_setup() should return the correct binary,
or alternatively, engine.get_name() could return
something like

    “typing-booster:en_US”

then it works.

Apparently this problem appeared for me on f17 because
I had the following obsolete packages installed:

ibus-european-table
english-typing-booster
ibus-typing-booster
hindi-typing-booster-inscript
marathi-typing-booster-inscript
bengali-typing-booster-phonetic
gujarati-typing-booster-inscript
marathi-typing-booster-phonetic
bengali-typing-booster-probhat
hindi-typing-booster-phonetic
bengali-typing-booster-inscript
gujarati-typing-booster-phonetic
tamil-typing-booster-inscript

After I deleted all these packages and installed
*only* the latest version of ibus-typing-booster

ibus-typing-booster-0.0.9

the setup button works for me.

Created attachment 616462 [details]
preferences-in-ibus-setup-for-ibus-typing-booster-work-on-f18.png

Also works on f18.

So this bug seems to be invalid because I saw it only
in old packages which are deprecated anyway.

bug#858980 remains on f18 though.
