Re: Hebrew

[Paul Gesting]

Just following up. I did a brand new install of 20.04 LTS and got the same problem. The m17n Hebrew kbd layout is not an option in the ibus preferences. So it does not look like it was an issue with the upgrade from 18.04, but looks like it is an issue with 20.04. Any help would be appreciated! If you could point me to how to debug why ibus doesn't read the he-kbd.mim file correctly maybe I could try to help!

Thanks

Thank you very much for the m17n library! I have been using it for years. 

I have been on Ubuntu 18.04LTS and just upgraded to Ubuntu 20.04. I upgraded through the do-release-upgrade script instead of a fresh install.

However, now ibus cannot kind the m17n Hebrew language. The file he-kbd.mim is in the /usr/share/m17n directory, but it is not showing up in ibus preferences. I tried uninstalling and re-installing both ibus and m17n. It looks like this option is not in the xml file that comes out of "ibus read-cache" so maybe there is  something in the file that ibus does not like? Is there a way to see the output of what ibus searches for? Maybe there is a parsing error or something?

It looks like it is using ibus 1.5.22 and ibus-m17n version 1.4.2-1.

Perhaps the language code for Hebrew changed? Any help that you can give would be appreciated!

Thanks
