[SOLVED] IBUS keeps changing my keyb. layout and won't exit

Postby onlooker » May 19th, '13, 22:45

I just installed Mageia 3 via the installation DVD (32-bit) and I can't seem to get IBUS to work properly. I've installed it and ibus-anthy, but after I pressed Control+Space for the first time, I was unable to switch out of Anthy input and had to close IBUS to get my regular keyboard layout back. Problem is, each time this happens, it doesn't change back to my chosen keyboard layout (which is Slovene), but instead it defaults back to the American keyboard layout. I can fix this by removing and adding the Slovene keyboard layout in System Settings -> Input Devices -> Layouts, but it's a hassle. Also, whenever I attempt to run IBUS again, it runs with Anthy already switched on, leaving me no choice but to close it again, since Control+Space still doesn't work.

I need IBUS working for my studies, so any helps would be greatly appreciated.

I did read and follow the instructions and successfully added Japanese - Anthy. However, it just occured to me that I should add Slovene to the list and now it seems to work fine. Is this how it should work? In Mageia 2 I only added Japanese - Anthy and it worked fine without adding the Slovenian input method.

EDIT: After a day of using this method it seems to work fine so far, so I'll just mark this as solved.
