iBus Errors

[whatthefunk]

I just did a fresh install of 14.04. When running ibus-setup I get the following:

@Homebox:~$ ibus-setup
/usr/share/ibus/setup/main.py:70: PyGIDeprecationWarning: Using positional arguments with the GObject constructor has been deprecated. Please specify keywords for schema or use a class specific constructor. See: https://wiki.gnome.org/PyGObject/InitializerDeprecations

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Its a bit over my head Is there anything I can do to get it going?

Just a thought... but I noticed that trusty thar had a bunch of python related updates released a few days ago. Did you try to download and reinstall from the daily build?

No, I didnt use the daily build. My system is up to date though.

I still cant get it to open, but found a work around that gives basic functionality. If you install all the necessary packages, you can set the engine through the terminal with:

ibus engine engine-name

I havent found a way to alter hotkeys or anything yet, but at least I can switch languages now.

There was an earlier post about lanugage support being incomplete... perhaps this is related.

Glad to hear that you found a work around though...

If we're thinking about the same post, the problem there was a missing library in 13.10. That problem seems to have been resolved in 14.10.

yeah, that was the one I was thinking about....
