hello, big fan of Manjaro. ty for all your hardwork
For work I need to input Japanese and Korean characters frequently.
The default IBus under Gnome the input works perfectly everywhere,
browser, even terminal window-
BUT totally unresponsive in Electron APP
(I researched that its an Wayland thing-
Also to my own experience because under PopOS(Xorg) there is no problem (same APPs)
May I have a noob-proof solution to this under manjaro?
thank you very much
Please list the specific electron based applications you are having trouble with, and indicate whether they were installed from the official Manjaro repositories, or as Flatpaks, or from the AUR.
Please also provide system information as described (below). I’m sure someone will help further when they are able.
Regards.
Welcome to the Manjaro community
As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:
Update Announcements
The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.
System Information
While information from *-fetch type apps might be fine for someone wishing to buy your computer, for Support purposes it’s better to ask your system directly;
Output of the inxi command with appropriate parameters will achieve this (naturally, formatted according to forum guidelines) and will generally be more useful for those wishing to help:
Be prepared to provide output from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
In the login-screen GDM, after you select the user to login, there is a settings menu in the lower right corner of the desktop. There you can select “GNOME with X11”.
This will stay selected even if you reboot your system.
Even if you have autologin enabled you just need to log out of GNOME once, select X11 as described above, login again and this works if you reboot as well.
But please remember: This is a workaround - not a solution
thank you very much for the quick replies.
Quick example would be simply the note typing APP Notesnook under flatpak.
I do appreciate the switching to X11 workaround, but it’s not like I couldnt type anywhere-
in fact I can type Anywhere Else but that window…
i dont want to lose the snappiness of Wayland over this-
Currently Im simply logging in Notesnook in browser and zero problems.
If there is currently no solution, please also let me know.
(from google it looks like its difficult problem)
I just thought I’m using Linux- and above all Arch-
there might be some tweaking possibilities
You may want to try changing permissions for flatpak apps. In KDE plasma there is under system settings a dedicated tab for flatpak permissions.
If you can’t find something similar under gnome, try flatseal in AUR.
