  2. Check the current process ID of ibus-daemon with pidof ibus-daemon command with the current user account
  3. Run ibus restart command with the current user account
  4. Check the current process ID of ibus-daemon again
  5. Run gnome-control-center keyboard in GNOME or ibus-setup in non-GNOME desktop with the current user account and check the available input method engines
  6. Add the new IME

Expected Results

  • For GNOME
    • It may depends on the order of the input source, 2 letter language or a symbol for engine should appears at the panel.
