Installing Avro in 18.04 LTS

Question

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.

Solution 1

I am using Avro in 18.04 LTS and it's working.

Here is the steps you need to follow.

1. Go to Language Support. Click install/remove languages.

   

2. Select Bangla from the list and click apply. After installing Bangla language support you should start installing Avro.

   

3. The resulting window should look like this:

   

4. Download and install avro from here on GitHub. I use 2.0 version

   sudo dpkg -i avro_2.0-1_all.deb
   

5. You will see some missing packages. To install those, run the following command:

   sudo apt-get install -f
   

6. Restart ibus

   ibus restart
   

7. Now go to Settings > Region and language > Add an input source > Bangla > Bengali (Avro Phonetic)

   

8. Enjoy typing Bangla in Avro keyboard.

Solution 2

You may have run into a bug, which now has been fixed.

Avro Phonetic has recently been made available to Ubuntu users via an official package, which includes that bugfix.

To install it:

sudo apt install ibus-avro

After that add input source by following steps:

• Log out and log in again
• Settings > Region and language > Add an input source > Bangla (or Other) > Bangla (Avro Phonetic)

Solution 3

I've installed successfully and found the settings for input source at the top bar.

Have you tried with the latest Avro release on GitHub? What do you mean by "not working"?

The top answer of the linked question recommends nearly the same steps as the accepted answer to this one.

Avro was working perfectly on 16.04 LTS. I could write in Bangla on any window on internet. Upgraded to 18.04 LTS and successfully installed ' avro_2.1-3_all.deb'. Bangla not showing. Tried all recipes mentioned here with no avail. Now I installed a new hdd. Installed 18.04.2 LTS. Did everything like before. Set 'Complex text layout' to 'Bengali (Bangladesh)' in Libre Office. Still no Bangla writing on. Please help me.

@bluepearlsky What exactly is your problem? Avro is not showing up in the list or everything is fine but Bangla is not appearing while typing?

[bluepearlsky]

First I tried the above tutorial.Got this display. ashoke@ashoke-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg -i avro_2.0-1_all.deb [sudo] password for ashoke: dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process ashoke@ashoke-desktop:~$ Then installed 'Avro 2.1-3' from Ubuntu Software. Avro Installed enter image description here Default Avro preferences. enter image description here Bangla script not showing. enter image description here Therefore,the problem. Bangla is not appearing while typing. :-)

Though, I am not an expert but during installation, I have used latest Debian package from GitHub. This method worked for me without any additional step.
