Chinese Input Successfully Configured | Generated by AI
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.
