ibus-avro is crashing after using for few min

[kmondal]

After I switched the input method to avro phoenetic, a few min later no more bengali typing is possible. Whatever I type, it remains in english though the input method is still on avro bengali. I tried to debug. Here is what I got. Gjs-Message: 19:44:07.775: JS WARNING: [/usr/share/ibus-avro/main-gjs.js 39]: reference to undefined property 0

P.S.: I am using avro on Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit

Can you please show us the output from this command;:

ps ux | grep ibus

when it has stopped working. Also, does the command

ibus restart

help?

In the mean time I found this fix from 12Nov2020 https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro/issues/156#issuecomment-726378060 Have applied it. Then it avro failed again a few times but later worked fine. I will post an update later if I face the issue again. To my experience it seems like problem with ibus, rather than avro. For some reason the ibus is automatically getting reset from time to time. Though I am not sure, but may be it is a problem of Ubuntu 20.04. I have another machine where I have Ubuntu 18.04 and I have never faced this problem there at all.

That's one reason why it would be useful if you could answer the questions I asked.

Here is the output of ps ux | grep ibus after avro stopped working.

With ibus restart fixed this issue a couple of times. But also failed a couple of times.

Thanks! I notice that you have an ibus-memconf process, while I have an ibus-dconf process instead. If I understand it correctly, ibus-memconf was added as an alternative with Chromium OS in mind. So why is it made use of on an Ubuntu 20.04 install?

Can't tell the significance of that, though. @sarim, does it possibly ring a bell?

AFAIK dconf <-> gsettings is the default setting api in gtk/gnome land. Presence of memconf is indeed weird. Though I have no idea if it any way affects the crashing behavior. Ibus-avro itself uses gsettings to store its own config.

@sarim I have the same issue in ubuntu 20.04.

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.Firefox browser. I am experiencing crashing of Avro frequently. Sometime restart of ibus also fails. I got the following result.
