Keyboard Not Work in Chromium [Not an ibus issue]

[dos50]

Hi,

I have an older AMD 64 computer with a keyboard (not USB) that works fine with Kubuntu 14.04 except in Chromium.

I read previous postings re this issue and followed their instructions for removing the ibus. (In Terminal: sudo killall ibus.) I then rebooted but still have the same problem of the keyboard not working in Chromium. In Terminal I again ran "sudo killall ibus" and got a message stating "ibus: no process found."

I have no idea how to proceed from here. Any help would be appreciated.

killall ibus won't do it.

killall ibus-daemon

No need for sudo/

Thanks for trying blackpaw, but after pasting "killall ibus-daemon" from your post into Terminal and then rebooting my keyboard still does not work in Chromium.

Any other suggestions?

[blackpaw]

Don't reboot - ibus will restart each time.

- Close Chrome
- killall ibus-daemon
- Start Chrome

You'll have to do this each time you logon. Its only a workaround till the kubuntu devs create a permanent fix.

Thanks blackpaw! That enabled me to use my keyboard in Chromium.

How can this the mandate to do when opening the computer to automatically run

[sithlord48]

make a script for it and set up to autorun on log in using System Settings -> startup / shutdown ->autostart . use the add script button

the script would be a simple text file that contains

#/bin/bash
killall ibus-daemon

then save it. not sure if it needs to be executable or not for autostarting a script. if it fails make it executables (rt.click properties in dolphin or chmod +x)
