A Work Around."},"content":{"rendered":"

When I’m using Linux I use IBus<\/a> to write Korean. A few days ago when I updated my Manjaro<\/a> installation writing Korean stopped working. After booting everything looked fine. The IBus tray icon was there, switching languages with Win+Space seemed to work.<\/p>\n

\"OK!\"<\/a>

OK!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Win+Space=OK\"<\/a>

Win+Space=OK<\/p><\/div>\n

However, when I started to type the IBus icon suddenly changed and it wrote in English. I didn’t know that icon and it seemed strange. There was no error message. IBus just always switched to that icon and then wrote in the English alphabet.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>

What is this?<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, first I searched the Internet without success. I found only old entries which did no help. So, maybe there are logs? I couldn’t find any IBus log in \/var\/logs or something like that. However, the IBus man page told about a –verbose flag. So, I used that and tada, there were error messages:<\/p>\n

[gamlor@gamlor-t470p ~]$ ibus-daemon --verbose -r &\r\n[4] 13270\r\n[gamlor@gamlor-t470p ~]$ \r\n(ibus-daemon:13170): GLib-WARNING **: 21:33:08.140: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid().

Oh…’assert failed’ doesn’t sound good. And whenever I tried to write Korean, the `bus_bus_call_sync…No global engine` message got printed. So I searched for that error message and found this Github issue<\/a>. There is a work around: When configuring an Emoji selection key, the issue goes away. Strange. So, I did that and everything worked again. Here’s how: IBus Preference -> Emoji -> … Button -> Select a impossible key combination -> Add -> Done!<\/p>\n
