Description of problem: I use ibus-m17n for my language kk - Kazakh. Because our country plans migration to latin script I created a new m17n layout table for phonetic entry. I add my new mim file to /usr/share/m17n and my new phonetic input works. However, in the language selector on the top panel, the short name (symbol) of the language shows as an arabic letter. It should be "kk", like e.g. "en" for English. I found a fix for it. The package ibus-m17n contains a wrong config file. /usr/share/ibus-m17n/default.xml It contains the following lines: <engine> <name>m17n:kk:*</name> <symbol>قا</symbol> </engine> The lines are wrong because it sets the arabic symbol for all custom keyboard layouts while the correct symbol is "kk". Those lines should be changed to the following: <engine> <name>m17n:kk:*</name> <symbol>kk</symbol> </engine> <engine> <name>m17n:kk:arabic</name> <symbol>قا</symbol> </engine> This way it only shows arabic symbol for the arabic layout. Please advise what I should do to have it fixed in Fedora permanently.
I created a Google Code issue 1781 in the upstream project. https://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=1781
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle. Changing version to '25'.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 28 development cycle. Changing version to '28'.
I fixed it upstream: https://github.com/ibus/ibus-m17n/pull/1 The fix is in ibus-m17n-1.4.1
The fixed package is already in rawhide. I just submitted an update for f29: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-b10cae47d5
