    Trouble enabling Japanese input

    Hello. I'm new to KDE and kind of... long time no see to Linux and Ubuntu.

    Anyway I am following this forum's How To: Japanese Language on my fresh install of Kubuntu 13.10 (amd64). However, because this wasn't the first solution I tried I might have installed and uninstalled some packages so that now my installation differs from the default.

    Here is what I have installed presently:

    Code:
    $ dpkg --get-selections | grep ibus
    gir1.2-ibus-1.0                                 install
    ibus                                            install
    ibus-anthy                                      install
    ibus-gtk:amd64                                  install
    libibus-1.0-5:amd64                             install
    libibus-qt1                                     install
    libusb-0.1-4:amd64                              install
    libusb-1.0-0:amd64                              install
    libusbmuxd2                                     install
    libustr-1.0-1:amd64                             install
    Going to Applications->Settings->Input Methods gives this output
    Code:
    Current configuration for the input method:
     * Active configuration: missing (normally missing)
     * Automatic configuration: ibus (normally ibus or fcitx or uim)
     * Number of valid choices: 2 (normally 1)
    The configuration set by im-config is activated by re-starting X.
    Explicit selection is not required to enable the automatic configuration if the active one is default/auto/cjkv/missing.
      Available input methods: ibus xim
    Unless you really need them all, please make sure to install only one input method tool.
    Anyway my problem is that I get stuck on step 3:
    > 3. In the Application Launcher, go to the Applications tab, and click Settings. Click on Keyboard Input Methods.

    When I do this, the small window asking me to launch ibus settings doesn't appear. On the lower panel, in the task manager, a new button appears that says Keyboard Input Methods, and its icon spins for a while, as does the cursor's "working" spinner. However, the button simply disappears and the window doesn't open, and I can't get any further.

    Help! Thanks.

    Here's a link to the How To guide I'm using. I couldn't post a link before because it was my first post and the forum doesn't allow that.

      Hi there. That guide is out of date. The version of ibus in Kubuntu 13.10 is drastically different than previous versions. To get the ibus preferences menu, type ibus-setup in a terminal. Also, you are missing the qt4 ibus package plus the gtk3 package which might cause problems for you. Heres what I have installed:
      Code:
      ibus                                            
      ibus-anthy                                    
      ibus-gtk:amd64                                
      ibus-gtk3:amd64                                
      ibus-qt4                                      
      libibus-1.0-5:amd64                        
      libibus-qt1
