Ubuntu 18.04 how to input Chinese tone marks? Hanyu pinyin is missing

  • 772

I am trying to have the ability to input Chinese tones directly into text editor in Ubuntu 18.04. I have installed ibus-pinyin and ibus-m17n packages but I cannot find in Region&Language input picker the hanyu pinyin input method, there is only Chinese, Chinese (Bopomofo), Chinese (Intelligent Pinyin), two WuBi variants and that's it.

In here https://askubuntu.com/a/735139/886864 or https://askubuntu.com/a/728506/886864 it is said it should have Chinese (hanyu pinyin (m17n)) but I cannot find it.

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to install something else in 18.04?

  1. The comments suggest to restart the system.

    Actually, there is no need to do that.

    Just restart ibus as follows:

    ~$ ibus restart
