Thomas,
I just tested on a clean new 14.04 install (within a virtual machine)
and repeated the instructions from my first post - all works without
issue. iBus is *already* installed by default and you do not need to
install anything other than what gets installed when you:
"System Settings|Text Entry|Input sources to use: add Japanese if not
there already|click 'Show current input source in the menu bar' and you
should see the language icon on the top menu bar - click it & select
Japanse"
$ apt-cache policy ibus
ibus:
Installed: 1.5.5-1ubuntu3
Candidate: 1.5.5-1ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 1.5.5-1ubuntu3 0

(the above 'ii' means that all are installed (by default).
When you run:
$ sudo apt-get install ibus
you should get the following (on a clean install):
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ibus is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
So you need to purge the whatever the 'online' documentation said to
install and start over.
