Ubuntu – Upgrade IBus or “export IBUS_ENABLE_SYNC_MODE=1” to fix IntelliJ/Android Studio input issue

You can run the command ibus version to see which version you are running. I'm still personally trying to figure out how to update it myself

edit: I found a post that breaks down installing the newest version of ibus, link.

Also in case you run into the same error I did when attempting to install it, if you run into the error saying your intltool is too old run:

sudo apt-get install intltool

When you run the make command stated in the above link, you might get a lot of missing packages. For the most part just install them one by one and if need be google to find the source package for some.

In the recent android studio updates, google use a libstdc++ that is incompatible with the intel driver installed on the system

You first have to install the following packages if there not on the system lib64stdc++6 and mesa-utils

sudo apt-get install lib64stdc++6 mesa-utils

Then symlink the libraries to the android sdk tools path

## For the /Sdk/tools path

cd ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++
# making a copy of the file
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.og
# symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 ~/Android/Sdk/tools/lib64/libstdc++

## For the /Sdk/emulator path

cd ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/libstdc++
# making a copy of the file
sudo mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.og 
# symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 ~/Android/Sdk/emulator/lib64/libstdc++
