So i needed to type the pipe key on a UK keyboard and had not yet seen the issue on the tracker telling you to remove the lines form /lib/udev/… as such i have just spent the afternoon buggering my librem v2’s keyboard settings, i have now edited the file but the issue has not been resolved presumably because running im-config loops and runs whenever i try to open keyboard settings. these are the messages i get
Current configuration for the input method:
* Active configuration: default (normally missing)
* Normal automatic choice: ibus (normally ibus or fcitx or uim)
* Override rule: zh_CN,
fcitx:zh_TW,
fcitx:zh_HK,
fcitx:zh_SG,
fcitx
* Current override choice: (en_US)
* Current automatic choice: ibus
* Number of valid choices: 3 (normally 1)
The override rule is defined in /etc/default/im-config.
The configuration set by im-config is activated by re-starting X.
Explicit selection is not required to enable the automatic configuration if the active one is default/auto/cjkv/missing.
Available input methods: ibus fcitx xim
Unless you really need them all, please make sure to install only one input method tool.
Two options, ok or cancel so i click ok
Do you explicitly select the user configuration?
* Select NO, if you do not wish to update it. (recommended)
* Select YES, if you wish to update it.
Select No as its recommended
Keeping the user configuration /home/georgesykes/.xinputrc unchanged as default.
Automatic configuration selects: ibus
Intelligent Input Bus (IBus)
* Required for all: ibus

If a daemon program for the previous configuration is re-started by the X session manager, you may need to kill it manually with kill(1).
See im-config(8) and /usr/share/doc/im-config/README.Debian.gz for more.
then when i try to open keyboard settings i get the same as before.
So far i have undone the changes i made to the various config files, reinstalled ibus and fctix have restarted once (will try again in a moment). Any suggestions?
