I can't find anything clear of how linux is handling the keyboard. (system based configurations not gui)



My problem is : I installed ibus on a linux mint with several languages but it just doesn't work, despite ibus-setup, ibus-daemon -rx...



Maybe my system is using another input method than ibus ?
Is there a command to know which input method my computer is actually using ?

          The input method used (IM) is actually set in ~/.xinputrc.



          Run the command im-config to choose your input method.



          Or maybe simply add manually run_im ibus inside your ~/.xinputrc : It is what im-config is doing.



          Of course you need to restart X.
