IBUS(5)

💖 IBUS(5) — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick: this is section 5 of the manual, filed under User Commands, and it's all about IBUS — your fave input bus's dconf database file. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

IBUS — the dconf database file for IBus. that's it, that's the whole name section, slay 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

/etc/dconf/db/ibus

one path. one vibe. iconic.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so IBus? it's an Intelligent Input Bus. no cap. it's a brand new input framework for the Linux OS, and it serves up a full-featured, user-friendly input method user interface. literally the whole package 💖 and it also lowkey helps developers develop input methods easily, which is giving generous of it honestly.

now the main character: /etc/dconf/db/ibus is a database file for dconf, and it's where the IBus default settings live. it can be generated from /etc/dconf/db/ibus.d/00-upstream-settings by the dconf update command — but only if you have write privilege in /etc/dconf/db, so mind your permissions bestie 👑

and the keys and values it saved? you can read them with the dconf command. like so:

env DCONF_PROFILE=ibus dconf list /desktop/ibus/

go off, dconf list 🎀
