I upgraded one of my machines to Ubuntu 17.04. May be it is related, may be it is not, but for this machine, Avro Bengali keyboard switched to Malay (Jawi) after upgrade.



My other two machines, running Ubuntu 16.04 are working fine.



Please see these self explanatory screenshots.

I tried removing and re-adding the keyboard, uninstalling and reinstalling the keyboard without any avail.



Whenever, I switch to Avro keyboard, I get texts in Arabic.

  • I installed the thing on my 16.10, and I don't get a keyboard layout chart at all... One thing you may want to do is to install the ibus-m17n package and try the Bengali options provided by that package.

This seems to happen because of the new XKB symbols file bn which was created as a fix of this bug. As far as I can tell that file is redundant, since the name of the layout - Malay (Jawi) - is already present in the symbols file my. Currently there are two entries named Malay (Jawi) in the list of input sources.



Anyway, removing or renaming the bn symbols file seems to fix this issue.



cd /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols
sudo mv bn bn.bak


Edit:



I filed this bug, which has been accepted and will affect version 2.21 of xkb-data.



Edit II:



The issue is also about to be fixed in v2 of ibus-avro.



Edit III:



It seems moving the file make wayland session on latest Ubuntu inaccessible. Also the developers of ibus-avro suggested another workaround which fixes the issue without interfering with wayland session. This is documented here



In short, you need to edit the file at /usr/share/ibus/component/ibus-avro.xml



sudo vim /usr/share/ibus/component/ibus-avro.xml


On line 20, change 



<layout>bn</layout>


to 



<layout>us</layout>


Save the file and restart your session.

  • I think I've found a similar bug, mine switches to Arabic instead of Malay. If I move the symbol, then Gnome wayland session breaks. So, I searched and found the fix here on avro's git repo. It fixed the problem nicely!

    @Anwar: Malay (Jawi) is written using an Arabic script, so it's most likely the same issue. Thanks for letting us know that it's about to be fixed in ibus-avro.

This does solve the problem: https://github.com/sarim/ibus-avro



You can try out my script which automatically fetches everything and installs avro for you. Just download or clone my repository: https://github.com/pavakpaul/ibus-avro-installer-for-ubuntu and execute install-ibus-avro-for-ubuntu-wily.sh

I have also tried reinstall using aptitude. This does not work. My current workaround is to run pylint3 as root, which works, but is bad practice. pip3 $ pip3 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/_vendor/__init__.py", line 33, in vendored __import__(vendored_name, globals(), locals(), level=0) ImportError: No module named 'pip._vendor.pkg_resources' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip3", line 9, in <module> from pip import main File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from pip.exceptions import InstallationError, CommandError, PipError File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pip/exceptions.py", line 6, ...
