I used to install ibus pinyin in 12.04 following steps as belows:
- Settings-->Language Support-->Install/Remove Languages, check Chinese item
$ sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-clutter ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-qt4
$ im-switch -s ibus
- Restart
$ sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin
$ ibus-setup
It worked. But not in 14.04, and I am facing several issues:
Command "im-switch -s ibus" didn't work, system claimed that I need to install im-switch, but that will make "Language Support" disappear. How to make ibus work?
Text Entry icon existed on task bar, i thought that's because Text Entry affects ibus; So I deleted Text Entry through Ubuntu Software Center, that made most of default system application icons gone in system settings. Am I able to get them back?
ibus-setup
I can finally type Chinese now.
