I used to install ibus pinyin in 12.04 following steps as belows:




  1. Settings-->Language Support-->Install/Remove Languages, check Chinese item

  2. $ sudo apt-get install ibus ibus-clutter ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-qt4

  3. $ im-switch -s ibus

  4. Restart

  5. $ sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin

  6. $ ibus-setup



It worked. But not in 14.04, and I am facing several issues:




  1. Command "im-switch -s ibus" didn't work, system claimed that I need to install im-switch, but that will make "Language Support" disappear. How to make ibus work?


  2. Text Entry icon existed on task bar, i thought that's because Text Entry affects ibus; So I deleted Text Entry through Ubuntu Software Center, that made most of default system application icons gone in system settings. Am I able to get them back?

Sounds like you messed it up a little. ;)



im-switch has been replaced by im-config.



In 14.04 you shouldn't need to install anything to use ibus-pinyin. It's there by default on every Ubuntu installation.



To restore the stuff you unnecessarily removed, please install the ubuntu-desktop package:



sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop


I also think you should study this page from Ubuntu Desktop Help:
