Title: Ubuntu Linux ( with ibus ) keyboard does not work - Solved
Post by: Vermind on June 12, 2010, 21:27

Hello,
I tried mule today, and noticed that keyboard keys do nothing on both my 32 and 64-bit Ubuntu Linux. I dug a little deeper, and found out that if I disable ibus, the Chinese and other languages input system, keyboard works in mule. So, I modified the mule startup script to not take advantage of multilingual keyboard input.
So now keyboard works in mule in a standard multilingual Ubuntu setup, and multilingual input works in other apps.

To make this work, insert this:

Code:

. /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none

on a new line after the LD_LIBRARY_PATH line in mule.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
cd data
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/none
...

So, question for Peter, is there a way to make sure the script is preprogrammed appropriately so this bug doesn't baffle future users? It has come up again. Thankfully the poor fellow found this post.
