IBus is installed by default, you just need to do the following: 1. in System->Administration->Language Support set your Keyboard input method to 'ibus'. 2. restart your X session, i.e. log out and in again. 3. in System->Administration->IBus Preferences go to the Input Method tab and select Japanese-Anthy. Click Add to add it to your preferred list of input methods. 4. IBus is now usable. Simply hit Crtl-Space to toggle Japanese input method in the application you want.

But I do know that ibus has replace SCIM as Ubuntu's default input method in Karmic. [1] If you did a fresh install of Karmic SCIM shouldn't be installed at all, though it is still availiable in the repos. To activate IBus and set it up, go to System>Preferences>IBus Preferences It can be called with Ctrl-Space just like SCIM. Of course, this isn't very discoverable. I didn't have any idea what an ibus was the first time it showed up in my menus. Luckily there has already been a bug filed and a fix is about to be pulled in from Debian which will give it a more descriptive name.

Japanese Input with Karmic?
Does anybody here use Japanese input as a secondary language? My computer was installed using the default English language, but I need to converse with Japanese people on a regular basis. So, I went into the System->Administration->Language Support just like I did on all the versions of Ubuntu. But SCIM does not seem to be popped up any more. When I press Ctrl-Space... nothing. Right now while in Firefox, scim says that anthy is active... does this look like Japanese. Not to me either. In order to get any Japanese support, I have to go into GEdit. Pressing Ctrl-space does not work, but I can right click and select Input Methods->SCIM Input Method, and presto, romanji is converted into にほんご (Japanese). I can then paste that into my Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, etc. So its not a language support issue, its an input issue. I need to write to our Tokyo office and need this to work. Before filing a bug... Can someone else confirm or tell me how they got theirs to work?
