IBus - Cannot change language/doesn't work

[dudumomo]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use IBus to be able to type in Chinese (ZhuYin) but it doesn't seems to work with gnome3.

It's a fresh Sabayon Gnome 3 install with the latest IBus version (1.4.1) at this date.

After installing and adding the chinese language, I had the message: "No Input window" that I've sold with going to the Ibus settings --> Advanced and tick "Share the same input method among all application"

I see now the list of input language but cannot select any of them.

What should I do?

Thank you for your help !

Any idea on how to do that?

Thank you !

Could it be due to the USE flag?
-gtk3 (http://packages.sabayon.org/show/ibus,7 ... 5,standard) has been use for Ibus.

It seems that some people on Gentoo had the same issue:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-9 ... art-0.html

So I will need to give a try I guess.

Bingo, after compiling with USE = GTK3, ibus works.

But know, I have a problem with one of the input language: Chewing.

Ibus works well but I cannot type anything wih Chewing (Eng module of Chewing works well too)
With another chinese input, no problem
It is actually the same problem than this user: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77801

However I do have a error message when I try to type, asking me to check the .imsettings.log
Which contains:

Code: Select all

Any idea to solve that?
