Description James 2013-06-15 20:39:56 UTC
Description of problem:
Unable to activate IBus after a clean install and initial update. A truncated error message (text below) appears in the top-right corner everytime 'Use IBus' is selected.  I was able to fix this by doing 'yum install ibus-setup'. Afterwards the error messages no longer appears.


This was done with a clean install of F19-mate-beta, then 'yum update'.


How reproducible:
Via 'Input Method Selector' click on 'Use IBus'.

Actual results:
An error message appears complaining about a processing dying too many times.


Expected results:
Nothing. Historically a restart is needed to enable ibus.


Additional info:
I discovered the workaround by clicking on 'Preferences' next to 'Use IBus' in the Input Method Selector. This action gives a much more helpful error message regarding the missing ibus-setup.

This is the error message. The title is truncated. The environment variable doesn't exist so the user has no way of locating the path.

"Unable to keep Input Method runni"

"Giving up to bring the process up because main
Input Method process for IBus rapidly died many
times. See $XDG_CACHE_HOME/imsettings/log for
more details."
