"ibus-typing-booster quit unexpectedly", problem reported on every login

Ask Fedora Ask in English
1

Hi,

I’m new to Fedora and Linux as a whole and installed Fedora a few days ago as a dual-boot config with windws 10. I used this guide for the dual-boot and then this guide for post install tips. I accidentally did the last step twice so I have a lot of duplicates when choosing which OS to boot into. My problem is that this error occurs everytime I start up the PC and I can’t find any fix online how to fix the ibus-typing-booster. I’ll upload more photos if necessary.

Edit: I had Windws 10 on the laptop and then made the dual-boot config with Fedora

Please try to report what you did and show error messages using text (paste a block of text between lines with triple backquotes). I’m in a room talking with other people, so your video links are not usable. Screenshots often cut off important details and can’t be found in text searches which means other users with the same issue won’t find this thread. Your title is also not helpful for searches.

I see, i’ll be back tomorrow with a better explanation :+1:

Hello @thedinotamer ,
Welcome to :fedora: :slight_smile: !
It would seem gdm has an error due to a command _set_get_functions as seen in the line beginning with reason. Did you make a setting within the ibus typing booster?

@gnwiii Every time I log in a message pops up saying something like “oops, a problem occured. do you want to report it?” and in the problem reporting app it says “ibus-typing-booster quit unexpectedly”

Here’s the report:

@jakfrost I’m pretty sure I had this problem before I did this, but when I tried to fix an extension called “Improved OSK” I found on their github page that if the extension was installed but the layout didn’t change it could be that ibus wasn’t installed. So I typed ibus in the terminal to see the different commands and then typed ibus engine which I think initiated an install of the ibus-typing-booster something?

7

Reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2171140

See comment 11 onwards for relevant discussion. Seems to be related to on-screen keyboard but only affecting some people.

If you don’t use ibus-typing-booster, you could remove it.

If you want to use it, you could try changing something about your OSK or related extension (I don’t know anything about this area to advise, but for a start try disabling the extension).

8

@jn64 I’ve been troubleshooting a bit and it seems like the ibus-typing-booster crashes even when i’m using the normal OSK without an extension, does that mean I should uninstall the ibus-typing-booster? What is the ibus-typing-booster used for?

9

ibus-typing-booster adds completion features while typing (similar to phone keyboards). You can see a demo video here.

10

@jn64 if I want to uninstall the ibus-typing-booster, should I use

sudo apt remove ibus-typing-booster
or
sudo apt autoclean && sudo apt autoremove?

Edit: Obviously it’s dnf instead of apt since it’s Fedora, I forgot to change it after copy/paste:ing from a website :sweat_smile:

Edit 2: autoclean didn’t exist as a command, what is the command I should use?

11

Simply removing a package is enough:

sudo dnf remove ibus-typing-booster

You do not need to run any type of “clean” command routinely. If there was something that should be done after every package change, then it should be done automatically (or be configurable to do so), otherwise it’s bad design of the package manager making you type 3 commands instead of 1.

dnf removes unused dependencies on remove by default (see man dnf.conf on clean_requirements_on_remove).

See also APT command equivalents on Fedora with DNF :: Fedora Docs

@jn64 Ok, thank you for the help :grin:
