[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs

2015-02-26 Thread Nobuto Murata
@Cefn,
I'm curious you have installed ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 or not. Because you 
installed gtk2 app(e.g. inkscape) on Lubuntu. FWIW, Ubuntu has dependency to 
ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 by default because it's has gtk2 and gtk3 apps in the 
image.

  I'm running Lubuntu Utopic with LXDE and Compiz (minimal dependencies
  on GTK), so it's feasible that some component is not properly declared

  module available and running anywhere on my system. How can I check?

  Other input issues relating to out-of-order key event delivery to

  think this may be an independent bug, ostensibly resolved by declaring
  IBUS_SYNC_MODE=1

  I should mention as it's kind of in the same subsystem and may be

  I speculate that there is some missing dependency or bad configuration

In answer to the specific question about ibus-gtk3 no, it is not
installed. I guess because it's not a dependency of the Lubuntu Utopic
build. Should it be?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1425510] Re: Default IM configuration causes hangs

2015-02-26 Thread Cefn
Summary: At this point I have a stable desktop where I don't have to
reduce my touch-typing speed by a factor of 20 in order to achieve any
text input at all (which is how it was this morning before disabling
IBUS in my Language Support preferences).

I think ibus-gtk was already installed by default, and selected (at
least that's what shows in the Language Support GUI). However, I don't
know how ibus-gtk relates to xim, and the problems between xim and e.g.
Inkscape remain unspoken.

The assertion that no IM module was installed seems to be an assumption
from @happyaron but it's hard to tell if that's what he meant, or why,
from his very short comment.

However, querying the environment variables by running 'export' in bash you 
see...
declare -x GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

...both before (when ibus was selected) and after selecting 'none' in
the Language Support GUI and logging out and in again.

I have no idea where this is coming from, but I suspect it's to do with
im-config, given it explicitly exports that environment variable I
couldn't find another reference to it in my profile or session files,
but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

I installed SCIM manually, (scim-gtk-immodule) following advice online
that running applications with SCIM was a good way to workaround the
bug/feature interaction/whatever (no-one seems to want to talk about the
actual bug), as described at
http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=29t=18042 which I needed
to resolve because of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/1385009

IBUS seems to also be related to this serious bug I was also
experiencing...
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766  so disabling
it seemed like a good idea.

Given my keyboard input is all in ASCII (as you'd expect from a en-GB or
en-US configured laptop) I fail to see why there's internationalisation
support baked into my desktop anyway, especially if it's buggy and
prevents so many applications on the desktop from operating. However, so
far I would say I have a slim grasp of what the actual bug might be,
despite all the reports I've read. So far, only workarounds and buck-
passing.

Searching the repositories for anything to do with a binary or lib
ending xim gives me the following, and neither im-switch or uim-xim are
installed...

$ apt-file search --regexp 'xim$'

2015-02-26 Thread Cefn
Hi, Aron. Thanks for looking into this bug for me.

I acknowledge what you're saying that it's someone else's fault, but
without more detail about what you actually think is going on, this may
be misinterpreted. I personally have no idea what is going on, and can't
contribute to resolving this through other projects' bugtrackers without
your contribution. What 'kind' of bug is in the applications, that means
an im-config change can workaround it?

Recently, keyboard input problems, including loss of responsiveness and
loss of individual key events, seem to apply to almost all of my
applications actually (even incredibly simple ones like Geany and
Terminal), so if all of these applications have the same problem, I
doubt whether it's an individual application developer at fault.

Regarding the Chrome bug, when you say you have to get GTK2 IM Module
installed that is not a package name, so I can't install it.

Are you implying  that the fault is in not having any IM Module
installed? (I have to read between the lines as your comment was very
terse) I already have both ibus and scim installed, (and ibus was
selected under PreferencesLanguage SupportKeyboard Input Method
System), so this is not the case on my system.

I also can't file an upstream bug to get anyone to package it (either
Chrome OR Chromium - where Ubuntu maintainers can control packaging). Do
you have one or more package names from Ubuntu repositories that your
suggestion might relate to.

For reference, those others experiencing a problem, I've found a
workaround right now (on Lubuntu) is to entirely disable international
input support, by going to PreferencesLanguage SupportKeyboard Input
Method System and selecting 'none', then restarting the system.

I think it would be a good idea.

To confirm it, can you please do these steps:

* install ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3

* switch back to IBus in Language Support

* Re-login

and let us know if it makes a difference?

That's problem in the applications, not input methods or im-config. For
the chrome stuff it's known you have to get GTK2 IM Module installed,
otherwise the XIM support in Aura is broken (and Google is not intending
to fix that).

  Similar behaviours are experienced with Kupfer - minutes of hang with
  apparently no input events being passed, followed by (sometimes)
  unfreezing.

  I'm running Lubuntu Utopic with LXDE and Compiz (minimal dependencies
  on GTK), so it's feasible that some component is not properly declared
  in a dependent package.  I can't find whether there is in fact a xim
  module available and running anywhere on my system. How can I check?

  Other input issues relating to out-of-order key event delivery to
  Chrome-based applications are experienced on the same build, but I
  think this may be an independent bug, ostensibly resolved by declaring
  IBUS_SYNC_MODE=1
  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=456766 but thought
  I should mention as it's kind of in the same subsystem and may be
  linked.

  I speculate that there is some missing dependency or bad configuration
  in the default presentation of IM capabilities, which eventually
  causes a DBUS timeout or similar, eventually causing a fallback
  without any international input, but which is functional.
