Keybord input not work in Chromium 34 Ubuntu 14.04 aura (260972) [using Fcitx would avoid this issue]

Solution 1:

I think this is a conflict with IBus, in Lubuntu in your indicator applets, right click the IBus applet and quit it, then KB input in chromium should work.

Solution 2:

More and more people seem having the same problem. Here a list of all important discussions I've found so far.

EDIT:

Just as an info I just tried installing chrome (not chromium) and the keyboard issue seems to be resolved (https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/).

Solution 3:

Firstly i was turning off ibus but next i found permanent solution on lubuntu 14.04: preferences->languages and there turn input method from IBUS to none, and that did the trick.
