How to add iBus to start up applications?

Question

I use Keyboard Input Methods program for inputting Tamil. I need to manually start it everytime I need to use it. How can I add it to start up?

I don't want it asking me this everytime I start it:

"Keyboard Input Methods (IBus Daemon) has not been started. Do you want to start it now?"

and also this dialog:

"IBus has been started! If you can not use IBus, please open System Menu -> System Settings -> Language Support and set the "Keyboard Input Method" to "ibus", then log out and back in again."

Answer 1

You need to add ibus-daemon to your startup applications:

• Open startup applications from the power cog
  
• Add ibus-daemon
  
  

Answer 2

Similar to the previous post adding ibus to Startup Applications..., I used

ibus-daemon --xim 

as in the file /usr/share/applications/ibus.desktop.

Answer 3

I think a better way of enabling ibus should be the following

im-config -n ibus

In older versions of Ubuntu, the following command worked, but it does not work anymore in recent versions of Ubuntu.

im-switch -s ibus

There is no need to manually add startup entry for ibus-daemon
