How can I install Avro in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release? I have tried with this method but not working (previously worked in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
Edit: This question is not a duplicated version of this one. Seems like installing Avro in 18.04 LTS needs some additional steps.
I have installed mozc (a Japanese input method editor (IME)) on Ubuntu 14.10. It is working fine. I am able to write in Japanese by going to the icon in the upper-right-hand corner of my screen (what do you call this?) and selecting Hiragana or Katakana from the "Input mode" menu, as in the picture below:
However, this is a very slow process. I imagine there has to be a faster way to switch input modes - a keyboard shortcut or something (like on Windows with Google Japanese Input [to which mozc is related], Alt+` switches between Hiragana and Direct Input). What shortcuts are there for switching input modes, and can they be configured?
After running in the terminal ibus exit, it successfully exited in the terminal.
It was interfering with a program where it did not allow typing in that program. Or rather maybe the program was interfering with iBus.
Regardless, now that the use of the program is done, ibus restart was entered into the terminal to reactivate it, but now the only thing that comes out is Can't connect to iBus.
The same thing happens for other functional commands of ibus in the terminal.
Grateful for any feedback for how to turn ibus back on and off at will.
I use Keyboard Input Methods program for inputting Tamil. I need to manually start it everytime I need to use it. How can I add it to start up?
I don't want it asking me this everytime I start it:
"Keyboard Input Methods (IBus Daemon) has not been started. Do you want to start it now?"
and also this dialog:
"IBus has been started! If you can not use IBus, please open System Menu -> System Settings -> Language Support and set the "Keyboard Input Method" to "ibus", then log out and back in again."
Since UIM didn't want to play ball after installing Ubuntu 12.04 from scratch, I tried IBus, since that's the IME framework that's coming with Ubuntu by default.
However, ibus-table-compose is a pain in the butt to use because just to enter one character I need to press the key combination to trigger IBus first, enter the respective compose sequence, then press the IBus key combination again to disable it. Instead of that I'd rather like to keep my compose key functionality as provided by XIM, since that requires fewer keystrokes.
The problem is, though, that when the default input method is set to IBus and IBus is deactivated so that (AIUI, since I started it with ibus-daemon --xim) it is bypassed in favor of XIM, the settings in ~/.XCompose seem to be overridden by IBus's own version, so e.g. Compose c a doesn't give ą (a-ogonek) as I defined in the .XCompose file in my home directory, but ǎ (a-hacek), as defined by some other settings.
I've grown quite accustomed to my own mnemnonics, so is there any way to make my system use my own ~/.XCompose file with the default input method still being set to IBus so that IBus will still work e.g. in OpenOffice and other applications that don't let you choose the input method with a context menu?
Note: This is not a duplicate of the question How can I get compose back on ibus?
