Ah, I didn't get notified of Gunnar's last comment. ``` Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-==============-=============-============-==================================== ii im-config 0.44-1ubuntu1 all Input method configuration framework ```
so im-config is installed. As you'll note in the first comment, the problem is not that `/usr/bin/im-launch` is not avaliable, it's that `/usr/bin/im-launch i3` (including the space character in the filename) is not available. ** Changed in: im-config (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to im-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879352 Title: /usr/bin/im-launch i3 fails Status in i3-wm package in Ubuntu: Expired Status in im-config package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Trying to run i3 in Focal Fossa, login fails. The screen goes black briefly, then returns to the login screen. I expect this is reproducible by just installing `i3`, selecting it on the settings in the login screen, and logging in. I see the following in the log: ``` May 18 11:32:21 hopper /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[4733]: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start: line 5: /usr/bin/im-launch i3: No such file or directory ``` Editing that file to just run `/usr/bin/im-launch i3` works fine. Is this some kind of shell quoting issue, where it's trying to execve that full string? I believe this is in the `x11-common` package: ``` hopper ~ $ dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start x11-common: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start ``` but Launchpad complains that such a thing does not exist. Perhaps I misunderstand "package".
