--- Comment #4 from Lohan G lohang@gmail.com --- (In reply to Mike FABIAN from comment #3)
There are two ways to use the Sinhala Wijesekera keyboard through ibus:
- using ibus-m17n (m17n:si:wijesekera)
- using ibus-typing-booster
So using si-wijesekera through ibus-typing-booster might be a workaround for you until we figure out what the problem with ibus-m17n is.
Thanks very much Mike. I am trying to get ibus-typing-booster going following the instructions given here https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/documentation.html and here https://fedoramagazine.org/master-typing-ibus-booster/ But I don't see Sinhala (Typing Booster) or something similar among input sources. Other (Typing Booster) doesn't seem to work with Sinhala. Do I have to remove m17n to use typing booster?
Another detail that might be relevant is that my system is not a fresh installation. It has been upgraded through Fedora 27 > 28 > 29.
I can confirm that gedit works with ibus-m17n
