This issue occurs in Kubuntu 20.04 even with gnome-icon-theme installed. The panel icon/applet goes missing while ibus-daemon is running. The keyboard shortcut to switch input methods also stops working.
Workaround: ibus-daemon -rxd This restarts the daemon, and causes the icon/applet to appear in the panel and makes the keyboard shortcut to work as intended. This workaround is temporary and has to be repeated every time the issue occurs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/854333 Title: ibus GUI not loading, unable to use input To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus/+bug/854333/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
