Activating ibus-avro

Question

I have installed ibus-avro using sudo apt install ibus-avro

How do I activate it ? I am using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

Apparently i need to change ibus preferences but i could not find the option.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you ask [the manual](https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro/blob/master/README.md#usage) :) — B. du Garay, May 25 '20 at 17:25
[That one](https://askubuntu.com/q/1035875/996009) is pretty explicit also ! :-) — B. du Garay, May 25 '20 at 17:28
@B.duGaray: The first one you mention does not apply to a GNOME desktop, and the second one is far too wordy and includes several unnecessary steps. — Gunnar Hjalmarsson, May 25 '20 at 18:10

After having installed the package, log out and log in again.
Go to Settings -> Region & Language
In the Input Sources section click the + button and add Bangla (Avro Phonetic) to your list of input sources (you find it in the "Other" section or, if you have generated a Bangla locale, by clicking a Bangla submenu)

After that you can switch to Avro Phonetic - either via the input source menu in the top bar or by using the Super+Space shortcut - and start typing.

P.S. And no, since you are on Ubuntu, don't bother with IBus Preferences.

Thanks a lot :) That was really helpful and easy to follow. – rik May 25 '20 at 19:18 — rik, May 25 '20 at 19:18
