Keyboard bug in Intellij under Ubuntu

Filed under: computer, Java, linux — Tags: , , , , , , — guilleml @ 3:09 pm

If you’re using intellij under Ubuntu you probably noticed the keyboard stops working sometimes just in the IDE.
This is very anoying and there is an open issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-78860
If you want to enable again the keyboard execute this command on any terminal:

ibus-daemon -rd

This seems to work in versions 14.04 and 14.10.

  2. Still broken in Ubuntu 20.04, Pycharm versión 2020.1.1 and this still fixes it

  3. `ibus-daemon -rd` doesn’t seem to help anymore, Fedora 33.
