** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
+ If you
+ 
+ * start your computer with a bootable USB stick or DVD with the
+   18.04.2 desktop ISO
+ 
+ * wait until Ubiquity's welcome screen shows up (only possible on
+   systems with legacy BIOS; bug #1766047)
+ 
+ * select a language which requires an input method for typing
+ 
+ * click the "Try Ubuntu" button
+ 
+ no IBus method is made easily available via the input source indicator
+ in the session you enter. If you for instance select zh_CN as language
+ and "Try Ubuntu", you would expect to enter a session with the
+ "Intelligent Pinyin" method included among the available input sources.
+ 
+ The proposed fix should ensure that an IBus method is always available
+ in "live sessions" in languages which are prepared for it.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ 1. Install ibus-libpinyin and make sure that "Intelligent Pinyin" is
+    not included among your available input sources.
+ 
+ 2. Generate the Chinese locale:
+ 
+    sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8
+ 
+ 3. Add to ~/.profile this line:
+ 
+    export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8
+ 
+ 4. Remove the gnome-settings-daemon stamp file:
+ 
+    rm ~/.local/share/gnome-settings-daemon/input-sources-converted
+ 
+ 5. Log out and log in again.
+ 
+ => Find that the "Intelligent Pinyin" method was not added (since the
+ sources already in the list prevented it from being added).
+ 
+ 6. Install gnome-settings-daemon from bionic-proposed.
+ 
+ 7. Repeat step 4 and 5.
+ 
+ => Find that the "Intelligent Pinyin" method was added.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ The proposed upload includes a small change which specifically addresses
+ the issue as described above. I find that the risk for adverse side
+ effects is low.
+ 
+ [Original description]
+ 
  Ubuntu 18.10 iso (2018.8.7), select Simplified Chinese for booting, can't
  input Chinese character. From Settings -> Regions and Languages, selected
  Intelligent Pinyin, also could not input Chinese.
