How to install Avro Keyboard since developer's instruction doesn't work smoothly.
I have to manually start ibus each time I have to boot in to my kubuntu 20.04. I have tried several methods including adding the ibus-daemon into my start up application. I also followed this links.
How to add iBus to start up applications?
I have also included these lines in my ~/.bashrc
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
and relogged in. Still it does not work out for me. Anybody have a suggestion on how to resolve this issue?
To mention, I have installed ibus avro in my kubuntu 20.04.
I downloaded avro_2.1-3_all.deb from this page, but when I tried to install it I found that it depends on the ibus-qt4 package which is not available in the Ubuntu 19.04 archive.
How can I install Avro on Ubuntu 19.04?
I'm on Ubuntu 18.04. To install Avro I first downloaded the latest version(avro_2.1-3_all.deb) from github using command
$ wget "https://github.com/ugcoder/avro/releases/download/v2.1/avro_2.1-3_all.deb"
Then installed:
$ sudo dpkg -i avro_2.1-3_all.deb
Then finally ran these command:
$ sudo apt-get install -fy
$ ibus restart
Before these download and installation, I entered "Language Support" and ensured that the box for Bangla is ticked in "Installed language". Also ensured that Keyboard input method id IBus.
Now once avro is installed, I went to settings and added Bengali(Avro Phonetic)" as input source.
Now I opened LibreOffice Writer switched to Avro using super+space. Everything was set, only all that is coming are English letters. Same happened on gedit, same happening now: I wrote this whole question with Avro selected!
What's happening?
To enquire, I checked to keyboard layout of Avro Phonetic. Surprisingly avro's keyboard layout is identical to English(US)! I then manually downloaded the avro fonts and copied them to /usr/share/fonts/truetype and restarted my PC. The result is same. Now what can I do to write Bangla with Avro?
How can I install Avro in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release? I have tried with this method but not working (previously worked in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS).
Edit: This question is not a duplicated version of this one. Seems like installing Avro in 18.04 LTS needs some additional steps.
