restarted

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659641

           Summary: ibus: following a system reboot, some ibus components
                    do not work till ibus is restarted
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 14
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW

                    shawn.p.huang(a)gmail.com
    Classification: Fedora
    Target Release: ---


e.g. 1: Steps
1) In IBus Preferences, set "Show language panel" to "When active"
2) Reboot your system
3) Relogin, activate your default IM
4) The panel will not appear

e.g. 2: Steps
1) Reboot your system
2) Select the XKB "Sinhala; Sinhalese - Sri Lanka" layout
3) Activate the aforementioned XKB layout
4) Typing results in English letters

Workaround: Restart IBus and both problems are solved.

I have my panel set to autohide, so the screenshot will not be helpful. I'll
describe it for you, the gnome panel icon shows the IM logo when activated, but
the language panel that usually appears at the bottom right hand corner when
the IM is activated does not appear. After a IBus restart it will appear when
activated.

No, I don't think so.
Do you see your problem on fedora 14?

Please observe how to reproduce your bug with the reproducing steps.
Do you mean the autohide is required to reproduce the bug?
Sorry, I don't understand your problem exactly. I would be still interested in
the screenshot how your panel icon is not shown.

Hmm.., it's curious.
I guess you might not explain the important steps or you have some special
settings.

OK, currently I have the same settings you described but don't reproduce your
problem.

Or if you provide a vnc session with root account, I can check your problem

No, that's not an option. :-)

How about we do this slightly differently. Can you tell me how I can tap and
monitor the communication between:

1) IBus and the GTK language panel
2) IBus and ibus-engine-xkb

Thanks,

Hmm.., I think I showed how to debug ibus.
If you doubt your problem is a timing issue, it would be good to add the
logging in comment #3.

If you want to run ibus panel directly:

% env IBUS_PREFIX=/usr python /usr/share/ibus/ui/gtk/main.py

You could add some print command.
Let me know if you need more helps.

1) Did you try to reproduce this on bare metal? i.e. not in a VM?

2) If I can reproduce this in F15 when it releases, I'll reopen this BZ.

Yes, I did.
Also it's useful if your problem can be reproduce in a VM.
Probably it's good to provide the access on your hosts since I cannot reproduce
your problem and you don't proceed the debug.

OK. Currently I have F15 at office and F14 at home. Others are VMs.

Note: still reproducible in F14 with:

ibus-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-anthy-1.2.5-3.fc14.x86_64
ibus-devel-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-gtk2-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-libs-1.3.9-2.fc14.x86_64
ibus-m17n-1.3.1-8.fc14.x86_64
ibus-pinyin-1.3.11-1.fc14.x86_64
ibus-pinyin-db-open-phrase-1.3.11-1.fc14.noarch

This bug can be reproduced consistently after a reboot. Can you please suggest
any useful debugging techniques for capturing communication to the "GTK
language panel" immediately after a reboot? I've read over the BZ again, so far
there has *not* been any useful debugging techniques suggested.

Hmm.., I'm not sure what you try to do.
I think I already gave the suggestion or read the document of gdb.

Probably file io could help the debugging if that would be a timing issue.
Probably it's good to provide the access on your hosts since I cannot reproduce
your problem and you don't proceed the debug.

On the other hand, I guess your issue might not be ibus since I cannot
reproduce it.
I'll try again your situation today after I go to home.

The original description
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659641#c0) contains the exact
steps followed to reproduce the problem.

As I said earlier (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659641#c7).
Direct access to my system is "not an option."

As I've stated earlier, this is only reproducible immediately after a reboot.
So restarting and directly running the GTK language panel doesn't make sense. A
useful debugging technique would be a way to tap the IBus communication and
observe the communication to GTK language panel. Is there an easy way to do
that?

I think this does not include the required steps to reproduce your problem.
I tried the steps yesterday again but I still cannot reproduce your problem.

Then I think it's good to just wait for another bug report which will include
the proper steps or provide the access.

Not sure since I don't see any problems. Maybe I think it would not be your
task.

Basically I have thought if it's a good bug report:
 - Report the exact steps and software & hardware environments which the bug
evaluators can reproduce it
 - Provide the access of test environments
 - Report the root cause
 - Report the patch

Otherwise I'd think it would be a low priority.

Since you can't reproduce it and I can, it makes sense for me to do the
debugging if you are able to suggest appropriate debugging techniques.

I can NOT reproduce both the problems in F15. I have tested multiple times. As
far as I'm concerned this is CLOSED - CURRENTRELEASE.
