Input methods after upgrade to 13.10

Solution 1:

In short, you don't want to use the im-config utility to change input methods.

Set the default input method from System Settings >> Language Support >> Default input method

After that, both input method setup and keyboard layout setup are now in System Settings >> Text Entry.

These changes seem to have caused some problems for Ibus. Assuming you have ibus-anthy installed, if you don't see Anthy in the list of input methods in Text Entry, go ahead and reinstall Ibus with sudo apt-get install --reinstall ibus and reboot.

I had similar problems but Anthy is now working fine after reinstalling Ibus.

Anthy has it's own setting for the keyboard layout that it uses.

1) In Text Entry, make sure your German keyboard is at the top of the list of input methods. This will make it the system default keyboard.

2) Highlight Anthy and click the the toolbox/configuration button that appears down by the keyboard button. This opens the Anthy settings.

3) Go to the tab called Typing Method. Change the keyboard layout to Default (which will now be German).

4) Be sure to hit the Apply button, before hitting OK.
