Are you saying that purging libibus-1.0-0 fixed the problem for you? It is possible that libibus-1.0-0 had a bug that would not allow using the system keyboard for ibus keyboards. The weird thing is "Input Bus - rc libibus-1.0-0: 1.4.1-3ubunt i386" indicates that libibus-1.0-0 was not installed on your system but there was still configuration files kicking around. That is what the "rc" indicates. Purging libibus-1.0-0 would delete those configuration files. So it may be that those files were interfering with libibus-1.0-5: 1.5.11 operation. Let me know if I can be of more assistance. Cheers, Doug. |
