Installing Wijesekara layout in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Since I'm a huge fan of Wijesekara layout sinhala keyboard, I struggled little bit to get it running from the guidelines given by Siyabas (http://www.siyabas.lk/sinhala_how_to_install.html#lin) site.

Even after setting the universe settings from the ubuntu software sources, it always gave me a message saying ibus-m17n package is unable to locate.

Then I found this thread (http://askubuntu.com/questions/105544/install-sinhala-unicode-pack) from the ask ubuntu site and there was a answer given by Maduka Jayalath saying ibus is the solution.

So I followed the link (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus) and installed ibus-m17n separately.

sudo apt-get install ibus-m17-n

Finally I executed the instructions given by Siyabas site again and it successfully enabled Sinhala unicode Wijesekara layout in my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
