Use fallback X11 socket. Enable input method when ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto #685

pm4rcin · 2024-07-05T21:15:24Z

It requires testing from people on different DEs but also checking if IMEs work.

@codewiz since you mentioned that it worked for you in chrome #577 (comment) it would be nice if you could check setting flag --enable-wayland-ime in desktop file. @czhang03 would you try that too?

czhang03 · 2024-07-15T12:54:17Z

Hi, IME still doesn't work on my machine. AFAIK this is not new, IME is completely broken with electron gnome and wayland, because of the mismatched text-input implementation.

System Info:

OS Name: Fedora Linux 40.20240714.0 (Silverblue)
OS Type: 64-bit
GNOME Version: 46
Windowing System: Wayland

Hi, IME still doesn't work on my machine. AFAIK this is not new, IME is completely broken with electron gnome and wayland, because of the mismatched text-input implementation.

Did you try both IBUS and fcitx? Sorry I'm not an expert on IM but I think IBUS supports wayland in newest versions with GTK or smth.

czhang03 · 2024-07-15T14:30:31Z

Hi, sorry I was not being clear earlier, I am using the default input method that comes with Gnome, which I believe runs on ibus.

I believe this is also the most common way people install IMs on gnome.

czhang03 · 2024-07-31T19:40:17Z

It seems like both the chrome side and gnome side are moving forward on the issue of IM:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/3751
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/5690113

Gnome already have a working implementation of text-input-v1 (an old protocol that chrome supports) with experimental packages for both fedora and AUR. And chrome is starting the implementation of text-input-v3 (the newer protocol that is supported in Gnome and other DEs).

At this point, given the discussion, it seems that the text-input-v1 is unlikely to get merged in Gnome, since it has been deprecated for a while. And people might want to wait until chrome has text-input-v3. But obviously it depends on what the developers think. I am just here to spread the good news :)

For a bit of update on the electron+wayland IEM issue, since people mentioned it.

Starting with chrome 129 (which is the current version), wayland IEM can be enabled by enabling the text-input-v3 flag in chrome:flag or with the following command line flag --enable-wayland-ime --wayland-text-input-version=3.

The current version of electron (32, based on chromium 128) still doesn't support this feature. However, electron 33 which is based on chromium 130, will probably support this feature; and electron 33 is set to become stable tomorrow (Oct 15th). https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines

I have tested that the latest version of signal (version 7.32.0) can use IME in wayland mode.

Here are the command line arguments:

flatpak run org.signal.Signal --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-wayland-ime --wayland-text-input-version=3

I think it is important to at least provide an environmental variable for people to enable input method --enable-wayland-ime --wayland-text-input-version=3, it can also automatically be on when ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT is set to auto or wayland

Somehow input method is not working in the test version... Maybe we want to put in some debug message in the script. I will do more testing later.

czhang03 · 2024-11-11T08:06:32Z

There are two problems I have with this current commit

the IME should also be enabled when ozone platform is set to wayland instead of auto
I am not sure the electron environmental variable is case-sensitive, i.e. does electron treat AUTO also as auto. If so, our detection should act accordingly.

czhang03 · 2024-11-11T12:10:48Z

This is very unexpected, even if I added the command line parameter, the current test build still doesn't work with IME:
