Post by Osamu AokiHi,
Please do not do TOP-POST.
I do not know if you followed all my points.
(Reordered to make this in logical order.)
Sorry. I am still relatively new at reporting bugs. Thanks for your
patience. Btw, you'll see at the end, my problem is solved now. Don't know
if it was the hard reboot, the reboot after I installed
gobject-introspection and reinstalled ibus-pinyin. Btw, does ibus-m17n
chinese require the ibus-pinyin package? Thanks. I have responded in line
in following comments. You can mark this bug as solved (I guess it wasn't a
bug? I just never realized that gobject-introspection was a needed package).

This means ibus-pinin works on my end. You seem to be doing sopmething
wrong to me. Are you sure you have bug. (At least this is
unreproducible.)
It is finally working. I think what was necessary was the
gobject-introspection package. The Chinese finally works now (using the
m17n:zh:py), but only after I uninstalled ibus-pinyin and reinstalled and
then restart. (I'm not sure what procedure cleared things up, but I did
restart after install gobject-introspection, that didn't work. I did power
down, so maybe that was necessary).

I originally had problems with the ibus-pinyin and the Chinese in
ibus-m17n. But I have
not even got to try it yet, as ibus won't start. Thank you.
You had problem.

Sounds like you have a bit different situation.
Yes, this was an old problem with overriding my original keyboard layouts.
Now, it is okay.
Post by Osamu AokiPost by Dean Chia è´¾å®Post by Osamu AokiI used to use ibus with ibus-anthy. Now I am using it with ibus-kkc
(not yet in unstable).
So we use different enginie.
Actually, I tested ibus-pinyin too. It is OK.

Post by Dean Chia è´¾å®Post by Osamu Aoki==> Can you install gobject-introspection package?
Did you do this?
Yes I did. Perhaps this is what helped. (Of course, when it finally worked,
my locales were switched to chinese, but I logged out, and everything is
back to English after I reset locale).
Post by Osamu AokiPost by Dean Chia è´¾å®Post by Osamu AokiI have both ibus-m17n and ibus-pinyin installed. So they should not
break system foy you.
If you are using ibus-setup to set, it may not be working... I did not
use it.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ibus-pinyin as well as
ibus-googlepinyin.
Wait. You use ibus-googlepinyin, too.
I was being desperate. But it now works without it. I uninstalled it. So it
works, the m17n:zh:py. I want to see ifh

Please test this with and without ibus-googlepinyin.
I uninstalled googlepinyin. It still works.
Post by Osamu AokiPost by Dean Chia è´¾å®However, it seems that there is no engine that drives my
Chinese. All I get is more English.
How do you know? Have you installed required fonts?
I have Chinese fonts. It just didn't work. But after a hard reboot, it
works now.
Post by Osamu AokiBy the way, is this your first time setting up this kind of things or
are you familiar with things?
If you do not know how, please seek help elsewhere. This is bug report
communication only.
Also, have you configured system properly with "apt-get dist-upgrade"?
If you kept using "apt-get upgrade" only, system may get into funckey
situation beyond what we support.
I am familiar with ibus policies, and I have been on sid for quite some
time. I use aptitude (not big difference), and I constantly upgrade. I did
a full-upgrade when I switched from testing to sid. But that was a while
back. It's working now, everything. I will see if I can uninstall
ibus-pinyin (keeping m17n).
