Ubuntu-ibus installation of the Chinese Input Method Ubuntu 10.04 recently installed cannot enter Chinese. After several days of unremitting search, I finally found the following solution: First, I would like to briefly introduce Ibus, which is a framework, supports multiple input methods. Problem 1: the built-in Pinyin input method is incorrect in Ubuntu. By default, it cannot enter Chinese and Chinese phrases. Please install other IBus-based input methods independently. Problem 2: the IBUS1.2.0 version of Ubuntu has a bug. After you use the backspace key to delete characters, the input method cannot continue to work. Please use the third-party source of PPA to upgrade IBus to version 1.3.6 or later. (The official Ubuntu software source has not been updated to the latest version.) 1. Use the third-party source of PPA to upgrade IBus: enter [plain] sudo add-apt-repository ppa on the terminal: shawn-p-huang/ppa [plain] sudo apt-get update [plain] sudo apt-get install ibus-gtk ibus-qt4 ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase next, after the taskbar-Input Method-restart, you can use it. 2. Install the commonly used pinyin Input Method ibus-pinyin: Enter: [plain] sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin-db-android or click Applications-> Ubuntu Software Center in the upper left corner to search for ibus-pinyin in the search box on the right and install ibus- pinyin and ibus-pinyin-db-android. After the installation is complete, click System> Preference> Ibus Preference in the upper left corner to switch to the input method tab. Click Add drop-down list box on the left to select Chinese> pin in and click Add. Delete all the items except PINYIN. Then you can press Ctrl + Space to switch between the English and Pinyin input methods. 3. install the commonly used five-stroke input method: enter [delphi] sudo apt-get install ibus-table-wubi on the terminal. Use Alt + Shift on the left to switch between Pinyin and five strokes. 4. install another Pinyin input method, ibus-sunpinyin, which is suitable for a large number of input-supports short sentences. Perform the following steps [plain] sudo add-apt-repository ppa: ibus-dev/ibus-1.3-lucid (this step adds PPA) sudo apt-get install ibus-sunpinyin
