same here (Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity or GNOME Shell). The whole ibus system is
broken and the "fix" (e.g. #57, #58) basically just switches it off. Here are
the problems in detail:
ibus does not react, it does not seem to govern the keyboard layout anymore
(xkb vs ibus issue?). Some GUI features might make it look like it's working
(OSD under Gnome, indicator under Unity), but the effect is not there.
Additionally (and possibly unrelated, but occurring wiht the same update), some
key combos (namely opening a terminal with alt-ctrl-T) have no longer effect
(neither on Gnome nor Unity). The "fix" just sets the fallback to what you
might like to work with, but there is no switching layouts (and/or input
methods) anymore.
For me the problem became apparent with the update to kernel version
3.13.0-34-generic. No fix so far solves the underlying problem of ibus being
broken. This problem concerns the essential keyboard input and should have
maximum priority! This goes for this thread as well as the discussed duplicate
bug #1240198. It baffles me how a broken keyboard input system can be tagged
with low priority.
I have updated GNOME to the gnome team version, changed the user id to 1001,
tried all kinds of fixes, ibus remains unresponsive. I will now stick with the
fallback solution from bug #1240198 without the option to switch layouts (no
more Japanese input), until I have time to migrate to Debian. With ibus broken
like this we are back to antedeluvian times where Linux could only be used with
a US keyboard.
