Cannot start ibus

[theref]

Hey, im trying to set my kubuntu to accept japanese input, I followed this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkwgyevmSGk#t=95

I clicked ibus


But it does nothing, I cant see anything ibus on my system tray,

can anyone tell me what I missed? Thanks

Run ibus-setup

What version of Kubuntu are you using? There was a major ibus change at 13.10. The video you are following is for 13.04 and probably wont work if you are using 13.10.

Hey, it's 13.10.

EDIT: this one works, ibus now showing
$ sudo im-config
and change the input method from default to iBus.
Then log out and login.

but whenever I right click the tray -> preferences -> it does nothing, nothing pop up on my side,

You probably dont need im config anymore.

Let me see if I remember how I did it...

First, install all the ibus packages. You should have the following: ibus, ibus-qt4, ibus-anthy, anthy, libibus-qt1, gir1.2-ibus-1.0, ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3, libibus-1.0-5

Once youve done that, open up ibus with the command ibus-setup. This should start the daemon. Go to the Input Method Tab and select Anthy if it isnt already selected. Set the shortcut you want. You may have to reboot to get the settings to take effect.

I think thats all I did.....

Try installing gir1.2-gtk-3.0 It should have been brought in with everything else, but it may not have made it.

Thank you, installing the girl fixed this issue!
