Description of problem: When I upgraded a Japanese installed machine from F10 to F11, scim seems to stop working. I think this is the second time I have noticed this issue so reporting it here. How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. From a F10 install upgrade to F11 2. start desktop 3. try to use scim 4. run im-chooser Actual results: 2. scim applet is running 3. nothing happens 4. imsettings seems to think IM is off and unresponsive to enabling IM from im-chooser Expected results: scim to be working as normal Additional info: If I turn off IM in im-chooser and restart the desktop and turn on IM in im-chooser again scim starts normally and works again.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
imsettings-0.107.2-1.fc11 has been pushed for updates. in this release, the process management and the status tracking should be somewhat improved. since scim is capable to bring the process up from immodule, if you don't see any logs to restart scim in .imsettings.log but just fails, it's totally out of the management under imsettings. I'll reassign to scim or scim-bridge then. Please test it. Thanks.
I tried upgrading from F10+updates to F11 and scim seemed to work fine. However after updating to F11-updates, scim didn't work on first login but after logging out and in again it seems ok.
To clarify, you tried to update from F-11 to 11-updates and restart the desktop or reboot your machine. you saw this issue after logging in right?
just tried the following: 1. install F-10 2. create a new account and check if SCIM works 3. yum upgrade to ensure the latest packages installed. 4. upgrade to F-11 with anaconda 5. log into the desktop with the account created at the step 2 6. yum upgrade to ensure the latest packages installed. 7. see current status on im-chooser and .imsettings.log It works for me.
After some discussion with Jens, I guess this might be a kind of the race condision issue since the immodule brings up the scim process if it's not running yet. which is totally not managed under imsettings. so I have no idea to solve this issue on imsettings. it would rather makes sense to get the fix in scim (or scim-bridge too perhaps). This issue should be gone if we get rid of that feature from scim. reassigning.

Out of curiosity, did you restart the desktop after the yum upgrade?

Not really. no packages updated with yum upgrade.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. 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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. 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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
