This question is very similar to the question asked here. In fact, this is the way I installed Avro earlier.

Recently I have installed Ubuntu 17.04 in a new laptop, and followed the same process given in the link. However, after installing (and following the steps) the font is not showing up as Bengali. In n fact, it started typing in Arabic!

Any idea what went wrong? I have followed all the processes multiple times.

  • Describe the steps you followed to install ibus. There were two answers. Did you restart after installation? And were you using Unity or GNOME? – Anwar May 20 '17 at 12:13
  • I tested it in 17.04 and worked perfectly. You need to restart the pc or ibus-daemon command – Anwar May 20 '17 at 12:40

This happens because of a bug in avro. I don't know what causes the bug, but to fix this, open your terminal and follow these steps:

cd /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols


sudo mv bn bn.bak

So, the first command will change your direcory to "/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols". And the second command will rename the file named "bn".

Thanks!!!

  • "This happens" what happens? I tested it in 17.04 and worked perfectly! – Anwar May 20 '17 at 12:39
  • @Anwar: The bug is real for those who have encountered it, but it seems to have been fixed in master. If it worked for you: 1. Which version of the xkb-data package are you using, and 2. How did you install ibus-avro? – Gunnar Hjalmarsson May 20 '17 at 12:54
  • @GunnarHjalmarsson In 17.04, xkb-data version is 2.19*. In 16.04 it is 2.16. It's working in both platform without any problem. I think OP didn't restart or didn't tell us everything. There might be something wrong with his configuration which may have been skipped from the description – Anwar May 20 '17 at 13:03
  • @Anwar: Ok. I could reproduce the problem a month ago, which led me to answer the duplicate question. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson May 20 '17 at 13:10
  • @GunnarHjalmarsson That's interesting. Let us see what OP has to tell – Anwar May 20 '17 at 13:54
