It exists to replace the old Scim, and most Linux distributions have replaced SCIM with it.

IBUs is a framework that supports multiple input methods.

Problem 1:ubuntu System Select the Pinyin input method is wrong, it can not enter Chinese and Chinese phrases by default, please install other IBUs based input method independently
Problem 2:ubuntu system with a IBUS1.2.0 version of the bug, after using the BACKSPACE key to remove characters after the input method will not continue to work, please use the third party source of PPA to upgrade IBUs to 1.3.6 and later versions. (Ubuntu's official software source has not been updated to the latest version)
