Description of problem: Today I went for an install of F12 DVD i386 and I chose not to install input methods group. Once logged in GNOME I realized there was a Input Settings Menu Entry, that wasn't supposed to be there. I issued a yum groupremove 'Input Methods', result attached. I think this happen because ibus gets installed; this package doesn't seem to be in the 'input methods' group Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ??? How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora, select to choose package selection now 2.uncheck 'Input Methods' package group 3.look inside the system-preferences menu in GNOME and Input Settings is there Actual results: ibus package installed, input settings menu entry Expected results: no 'Input Settings' menu entry Additional info: yum groupremove "Méthodes de saisie" ============================================================================== Paquet Architecture Version Dépôt Taille ============================================================================== Suppression: gtk2-immodule-xim i686 2.18.3-19.fc12 installed 26 k ibus-gtk i686 1.2.0.20091024-1.fc12 installed 21 k im-chooser i686 1.2.7-1.fc12 installed 247 k imsettings i686 0.107.4-2.fc12 installed 692 k Suppression pour dépendance: ibus i686 1.2.0.20091024-1.fc12 installed 1.3 M Résumé de la transaction ============================================================================== Supprimer 5 paquet(s) Réinstaller 0 paquet(s) Déclasser 0 paquet(s)
Did you install a particular language support group?
@Bill : nope, french language support group excepted, which should not normally require any input method. as you can see in the groupremove command, ibus gets uninstalled only because the other packages are uninstalled. it has benn pulled in by anther package, but which ? Maybe something gnome-related... What if you simply put ibus in 'Input Methods' group; it won't be installed by anaconda this way, am I right ?
There's nothing obvious in comps that would cause it to be installed, AFAICT.
OK, so maybe you need additional info ? I would be happy to provide any command result or log you need, so as not to have to 'groupremove' the input settings each time I install fedora. I reinstalled Fedora, once again with Input Methods group unchecked and tried this : 'yum groupremove "Méthodes de saisie" --remove-leaves', and this is what got uninstalled : Dec 08 23:49:22 Erased: ibus Dec 08 23:49:23 Erased: libgxim Dec 08 23:49:24 Erased: ibus-libs Dec 08 23:49:25 Erased: imsettings-libs Dec 08 23:49:25 Erased: ibus-gtk Dec 08 23:49:26 Erased: gtk2-immodule-xim Dec 08 23:49:26 Erased: im-chooser Dec 08 23:49:35 Erased: imsettings any gnome-related package that would pull in ibus or imsettings in these ? Sorry but I don't know how to display and investigate in dependencies... ;-( Thanks a lot for your help.
Do you have an anaconda-ks.cfg in /root?

Sorry for the selay, but it was time for me to go to bed ;-)
OK, I'm confused. I've done a yum test with the packages listed in your anaconda kickstart, and ibus et.al. are *not* installed. Pushing to anaconda for if they have ideas where it could have come from.
There is nothing in anaconda forcibly dragging in input-methods or base-system, so I've no idea either.
I did some researches with rpm -q --whatprovides and rpm -q --whatrequires : ibus-gtk --ibus --ibus-libs --ibus-gtk --imchooser --imsettings --imsettings-libs you'll notice ibus-gtk needs ibus which needs ibus-gtk : is this normal ? I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem, but... Any other idea ? I have some free time, if you want me to carry some tests, there is no problem...
