Re: [tlug] Japanese Input - Kubuntu 12.04 LTS

[Lyle H Saxon <llletters@example.com>]

Some stuff found on-line:

- Short answer: sudo apt-get install gnome-icon-theme

Longer answer: ibus ui need certain GNOME/GTK icons that is not
installed on Kubuntu by default. This is a packaging mistake actually.

- If you just want to have Japanese input and don't mind a rather
"Japanized" system, then using the version compiled by the "ubuntu
Japanese Team" would be the easiest way to get what you want. They
only provide ubuntu, i.e. no k/l/xubuntu, but even after installing
the KDE desktop on top of it, the Japanese input works flawlessly.
Looking at the amount of still unsolved problems with ibus and other
language input systems on previous (k)ubuntu versions I wouldn't count
on a soon available solution for the "normal" (k)ubuntu. As you have
seen most questions related to these problems remain either unanswered
or get closed because of too little interest for the crowd (aka "too
localized").
