14.04 Chinese Ibus Input - No Options

1. I think you need to open Language Support and install Chinese(simplifed or traditional)

2. You can try to install Chinese input method manually

sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin 
sudo apt-get install ibus-sunpinyin

3. Restart IBus daemon

ibus restart

4. Then you can find Chinese(pinyin) input method in Text Entry Setting. enter image description here

Hope this is helpful.


Got it! I am so stupid haha...

Just run ibus-setup, that will get ibus going and you can choose your input method.

So simple...and I will never get that hour back ;-)

But it does seem buggy to be honest.
