ibus is easy to install indeed, but it is too hard to remember what you 
often type! And it is a little ugly!
So I change it to fcitx!  I use pinyin , sunpinyin ,googlepinyin(a little)!
At last , I change to Sougou pinyin!
This is very good and very beautiful, I recommend it for you!

It is my blog in sinaapp! If you can read Chinese well, I have one tutor 
for you to install ibus or fcitx(sougou)!
If there are something you don't understand , you can leave a message 
for me!

I have to say something honestly , I never use this input method before!
