I'm using Anki to create flash cards for Japanese words. It worked last time I've checked, but now it doesn't even if I set input mode to hiragana. I've followed instructions in this question, but to no avail, even after I've rebooted my system.

QT_IM_MODULE is set to ibus.

Can anybody help?

  • Is the `libqt5gui5` package installed? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Sep 18 '19 at 12:33
  • It's already installed. (version 5.9.5+dfsg-0ubuntu2.3). Interestingly, in CopyQ (clipboard manager I use) which also uses QT japanese input works. – Negirno Sep 18 '19 at 14:23
  • If you don't mind to switch IME engine, there are many other choices, e.g. uim-mozc and fcitx-mozc. You can install all of these and switch it when you need it. Report the error to the Ubuntu/Linux community someone will fix it. – Sadaharu Wakisaka Sep 18 '19 at 22:21
  • This was most most likely due to [bug #1844853](https://launchpad.net/bugs/1844853), so I voted for closing the question. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 14 '20 at 19:55

Try/choose to install as many as possible japanese IMEs for ibus:

  • Mozc: sudo apt install ibus-anthy, and/or;
  • Anthy: sudo apt install ibus-anthy, and/or;
  • SKK: sudo apt install ibus-skk, and/or;
  • KKC: sudo apt install ibus-kkc.

Switch between them. Maybe one can be used to input your japanese content.

    No, no, the question is most likely due to [this bug](https://launchpad.net/bugs/1844853) which has been fixed. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 14 '20 at 19:40

    I thought it was a generic problem with ibus, so I came with these alternative input solutions. Thanks @GunnarHjalmarsson for point out that was a bug and was resolved. – paulolimac Jun 14 '20 at 21:34
