Summary: ibus requires dbus-x11

Summary: ibus requires dbus-x11
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Version: 6.1
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium

Depends on: 666427
Classification: Red Hat
Target Release: ---
Clone Of: 666427
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #666427 +++
Description of problem:
If doing a minimal installation and adding X afterwards, without adding a
Desktop environment, ibus fails to work.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Do minimal installation
2.Install X afterwards, then a window manager, vs. a desktop environmentthen
install ibus-anthy
3.Start X and run ibus-setup
Actual results:
After one selects the input manager, the setting doesn't hold. If one re-runs
ibus-setup, there is no manager selected.
Expected results:
ibus should work without the necessity of installing Gnome or KDE. (Or
possibly other Desktop Environments).
Additional info:
Installing kdebase will enable it to work as expected. This is a package
problem with RH--the same issue occurs in ScientificLinux 6 alpha and therefore
RH6 almost certainly has the same problem.
The reason I believe that this is a RH bug, rather than ibus bug is that it
works as expected in ArchLinux--their packaging apparently includes all
necessary dependencies. By doing things such as installing gnome-terminal,
which will pull in another group of dependencies, one can get it to
semi-work--that is, it will work with some expected applications but not
others. As mentioned, if I install kdebase, everything will work as it
should.

It turned out, upon testing with further installs, that kdebase didn't fix the
issue. However, by comparing it with a Debian installation, where it works as
it should, the missing dependency seems to be dbus-x11. Upon installing that,
it works as expected.
This also holds for Scientific Linux's 6 alpha, based on RHEL6, so perhaps
someone could notify them as well.

Do you mean your problem is fixed when you install dbus-x11?
I guess you use TWM.

Yes, if one install dbus-x11, ibus works with any window manager. For
testing, I redid the Scientific Linux ibus spec file, (taken from RHEL6, as far
as I know), just adding the line Requires: dbus-x11 and it then works with all
window managers.
(I primarily use either openbox or fluxbox, but if one adds dbus-x11, it works
with all of them, including twm.)
Thank you for your quick response.
(Note that this problem occurs not only with Fedora, but also with Scientific
Linux, and, I would guess, RHEL6.)

Thanks for the report.
I will update Fedora 14 & 13.
Probably I think we will not update RHEL6. If you wish, probably I think we can
fix RHEL6.2.

Thank you for your time. Even if it doesn't affect too many people, as it is
just a matter of adding Requires: dbus-x11 to the ibus spec file, hopefully,
the process of getting it into RH won't be too time consuming.
Once again, thank you for your time and efforts.
