Added gnome-flashback since this may also be aflashback problem if ibus works elsewhere, and salty-horse also reported the non-working status on 14.04 LTS.
An upstream flashback bug has been fixed at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759083, but they said it will be a separate problem for Ubuntu. ** Also affects: gnome-flashback (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #759083 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=759083 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1258778 Title: IBus input candidates not shown in GNOME Fallback session Status in gnome-flashback package in Ubuntu: New Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: I was able to add "Chinese (Pinyin)" as input method in Ubuntu 13.10's new "Text Entry Settings". Switching between "English (US)" and Chinese entry works for me, generally. When I'm using the "Ubuntu (Default)" (Unity) session, input candidates are also properly shown (a little floating window that shows candidate Chinese characters while typing). However, when I use the "GNOME Fallback" or "GNOME with Xmonad" session, as I normally do, the candidates do not show up at all. This makes Pinyin input useless.
