<pre wrap="">Hi all,
After the upgrade to 14.04, control-space was missing in action in emacs
(both terminal and X) for setting a mark and in LibreOffice for entering
a non-breaking space.
Keyboards vary from computer to computer (Mac laptop or generic 101). I
could not find any application shortcuts for the keyboard or window
manager keyboard commands tied to control-space.
But, Keyboard Input Methods (aka ibus), had assigned control-space as
the shortcut for switching keyboards. Removing that shortcut restores
control-space to emacs and Libreoffice.
Someone previously indicated that iBus is from prior versions and can be
safely removed.
Using
sudo aptitude search ibus | grep 'i '
(the i is a marked for installed) here's what I have installed for ibus
(note that this search also listed libusb packages that most likely
should NOT be removed):
i ibus - Intelligent Input Bus - core
i ibus-gtk - Intelligent Input Bus - GTK+2
support
i ibus-gtk3 - Intelligent Input Bus - GTK+3
support
i ibus-pinyin - Pinyin engine for IBus
i ibus-table - table engine for IBus
i python-ibus - Intelligent Input Bus - Python
support
i libusb-0.1-4 - userspace USB programming library
i libusb-1.0-0 - userspace USB programming library
i libusbmuxd2 - USB multiplexor daemon for iPhone
and iPod
i libustr-1.0-1 - Micro string library: shared
library
Any warnings before I remove the above six ibus files?
Thanks,
Victor

I've got ibus-gtk and ibus-gtk3 installed here only in Utopic, a
clean install of Trusty has no ibus packages installed, you'll have
them left from an upgrade.<br>
<br>
As long as you've no need for ibus you should be safe to remove them.

dpkg -l ibus*<br>
