Resolving IBus Issue - IBus prior to 1.5.11 may cause input problems

Question

I m using PhpStorm 10 on Ubuntu 14.04. I get the following error when at start :

8:08:47 AM IBus prior to 1.5.11 may cause input problems. See IDEA-78860 for details.
           Do not show again.
8:09:18 AM Platform and Plugin Updates: PhpStorm is ready to update.

How could I solve this, if any solution to upgrade IBus or change it with other library to do the same thing.

Answer 1

This solution is if you would like to upgrade ibus in Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS to the latest version (at the time of writing is 1.5.11).

I recently had to install Intellij on a clean installed Ubuntu machine. These are the steps I took:

1. Install the dependencies

   sudo apt-get install libdconf-dev libnotify-dev intltool libgtk2.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libdbus-1-dev
   

2. Download the ibus 1.5.11 source code (linked from here)
3. Extract the files (tar -xvf ibus-1.5.11.tar.gz) and cd into the extracted folder

4. While in the ibus source folder, follow the instructions from step 1 to install ibus 1.5.11:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc && make
   sudo make install
   

5. Restart Intellij IDE or whichever jetbrain's IDE that is in question
