[SOLVED] Default Input Method Reseted each time after boot

Hello, is there anyway to force default input method once and works between boot? I really having hard time to understand why it doesn't persistent between boot? is that intended to be like that? Is there anyway to force iBus as default? Thank you

Hey, I'm not sure what might be causing the default input method to reset.

I'm currently using IBus as default input method system.
You can set it through Settings Manager → Language Support → Keyboard input method system

I did, and when reboot, it will kept using old with no ibus... so I need to manually select ibus each time I login, which is frustating

Re: [SOLVED] Default Input Method Reseted each time after boot

What distro are you using? Probably the Language Support app (gnome-language-selector) is not integrated well in your system.

You can try to start IBus manually upon login.
Add  the following to your ~/.profile file:

GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus

Then add the following as a startup command on login (Session and Startup):

ibus-daemon -drxR

I'm using Fedora 36, I will try this first. There are selector, and I need manually select it each time login, haha..

Tb exact, it ask each time I login, if I disable it, I need manually fire up the selector, and close it.

EDIT: I don't know why, but seems the IM Selector just got updated from Fedora, and it work as intended, I think this can be marked as solved!
