Right, so the current behaviour is not an Ubuntu bug but how current GNOME behaves. They believe it's not possible to "guess" what input method an user for a defined locale is going to need and don't want to have a cluttered menu with a bunch of options which the user is not going to need.
The recommended way to set it up on the installed system is to use gnome-initial-setup on first login (which we don't do in Ubuntu), that wouldn't resolve the installer/live cd cases though where the user is just going to need to use the settings to configure it. That's not a simple fix but something we need to give more consideration to next cycle, I'm lowering the importance and unassigning, it's not likely we change anything for artful now. ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Critical => High ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Artful) Assignee: Sebastien Bacher (seb128) => (unassigned) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719938 Title: 17.10: No input method for CJK languages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/1719938/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
