I have no idea. The problem is an incorrect dconf setting:

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources
[('xkb', 'us'), ('ibus', 'sunpinyin')]

(i.e. in a live zh_CN session)

Kylin uses Fcitx. Don't know about other flavors, but I have a feeling that they usually don't care much about Chinese typing in their live sessions. This switch from ibus-sunpinyin to ibus-libpinyin is a pure standard Ubuntu thing AFAIK.

Good question. :) I accidentally tried Japanese, and then it correctly set ibus-mozc.

Neither did I. Still, "sunpinyin" is reasonably hard coded somewhere.

Kylin has fcitx-googlepinyin also.
