getting my new 14.04 rig going ;-) Pretty happy with it, everything seems to be working great.



For Chinese input, however, having a problem. I went through the typical steps, open language in settings, let it install some stuff, then add Chinese and choose Ibus. Then, after logging in and out, I see the language icon in my system tray.



However, when I go to add the Chinese into Ibus, it only lets me choose "Chinese", which isn't an input method. It should give me a bunch of choices like pinyin, bopomo or whatever, I only use pinyin so don't know those names.



I saw someone online had a little command which helped people with similar problems, but it did not work for me, even after a re-start.



So, anyone got a solution?



Edit: Here is what it looks like, just "Chinese" in the list, when there should be a bunch of input options like pinyin, potomofo, and so on.
No options for input method

1. I think you need to open Language Support and install Chinese(simplifed or traditional)



2. You can try to install Chinese input method manually



sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin 
sudo apt-get install ibus-sunpinyin


3. Restart IBus daemon



ibus restart


4. Then you can find Chinese(pinyin) input method in Text Entry Setting.

Hope this is helpful.
