Hello everyone,
I upgraded my opensuse TW yesterday, and I find the ibus-daemon can not autostart when the system start(wayland). That cause the input method can not be used.
The only solution is typing “ibus-daemon” at ALT + F2 command line when login the system.
You did root-cause the problem already and found a work-around, good!
On https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IBus I read that the ibus-deamon is not started by systemd but is running it runs as an ordinary user and will be started upon login.
I think ibus-deamon is started by /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus.desktop
> cat /etc/xdg/autostart/ibus-autostart.desktop

I am running not Gnome but KDE.
I have a question about that .desktop file. On Mate, that file generates journalctl errors because of the _ in front of Name, GenericName, and Comment. Is that a bug in Mate or the .desktop file?
