Suddenly can't type non english characters any more

  • 772

Suddenly my Kubuntu 16.04 refuses to write some characters.

Usually I was able to press ´+a = á but now I just get ´a on some applications like Firefox on some other applications like Konsole or Dolphin the accent isn't even displayed and only the a appears.

The single exception is LibreOffice where the input is working as expected.

I've wiped out my single keyboard input method configuration in System preferences > Input > Keyboard > Layout and configured it up again, also have consulted this question, but to no avail.

These are the contents of my locale:

$ locale
LANG=es_MX.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_MX:es
LC_CTYPE="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="es_MX.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

This is the output of $ im-config -m

default
ibus
none

none
kubuntu

    I see that you have IBus set as the input method framework without having IBus installed. I suggest that you run this command:

    im-config -n none

    and log out and log in again. Doing so might make a difference.
