Chinese Input Successfully Configured | Generated by AI

Home 2026.07

Done. Chinese input is now fully set up and working. Here’s the summary:


Status: Already Installed & Configured

Item Status
IBus + ibus-libpinyin Installed
GNOME input source Added (ibus libpinyin)
IBus daemon Running
Active engine libpinyin

How to use

Switch input method: Super + Space (or click top bar where it shows “EN”)

Type pinyin: just start typing nihao → candidates appear

Back to English: Super + Space again

Quick test

Open any text app (terminal, browser, whatever) and type. The pinyin engine is live right now.


No install step needed — everything was already there on your Ubuntu 24.04. The libpinyin IBus engine was added as an input source but the engine wasn’t activated. I set it to libpinyin so it should switch in from the GNOME input menu now.
