That confuses me. I see that you use an XFCE desktop, and the only icon you should have AFAIK is "IBus Preferences" which starts a GUI for certain settings. Quitting that should only quit "IBus Preferences" while ibus-daemon should keep running. If you have something else, can you please take a screenshot to show us what it looks like. ibus-daemon is not an application. It's a background process, and on Debian/Ubuntu it's started silently at login while a few related environment variables are set. If you want to use some other IM framework, e.g. Fcitx or uim, you can tell the system so in "Language Support", and after next reboot it will start Fcitx or uim at login instead and assign other values to the related variables. > However, in crashes in 18.xx I remember that `ibus restart` would > simply tell me "there is no running instance" and do nothing. Right, if the ibus-daemon process is not running, "ibus restart" won't help. But there are 'crashes' which don't kill ibus-daemon, and then "ibus restart" often helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922186 Title: ibus very difficult to restart Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After closing ibus by task bar -> icon -> rightclick -> `Close` it seems to be impossible to restart it. Here some ways that should work and how they fail: 1) Menu -> ibus ----------------- - opens iBus settings - starts ibus service Problems: - No keyboard input is actually processed; I.e. cannot use keyboard then. - Service is not daemonized; I.e. as soon as the iBus settings window is closed, the services quits. Suggestion: - No keyboard input possible seems to be a bug -> should be fixed. - Service should be daemonized at this point 2) terminal -> `ibus start` --------------------------- Problems: - This command does not exist. One has to know, that `ibus-daemon` is the one they are searching for. Suggestions: - Implement this command to start the daemon from here 3) terminal -> `ibus-daemon &` / `ibus-daemon -d` ------------------------------------------------- - brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good) Problems: - As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits 4) terminal -> `nohup ibus-daemon &` ------------------------------------------------- - brings up ibus with usable keyboard (good) Problem: - As soon as terminal gets closed, ibus-daemon quits (very strange. something I wouldn't expect from a `nohup` call, by the way).
