<prabuinet> hi there, anybody using tamill99 layout in ubuntu?
<jokerdino> hello prabuinet
<jokerdino> i am using the phonetic layout
<jokerdino> hi there Logan_
<Logan_> Hi jokerdino. I was just helping prabuinet out (I don't know Tamil at all).
<jokerdino> oh alright then. welcome to our IRC channel.
<prabuinet> jokerdino: i like to use 99 layout
<jokerdino> so, what's your question about?
<prabuinet> jokerdino: i can't find it in ubuntu
<jokerdino> oh that.
<jokerdino> one sec.
<jokerdino> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126871/how-to-make-tamil-fonts-work-in-a-chat-client
<jokerdino> that should give you a basic idea of what you should be doing.
<prabuinet> jokerdino: under "select an input method" combobox i have only chineese
<jokerdino> hmm weird.
<jokerdino> sudo apt-get install m17n-db m17n-contrib ibus-m17n please
<jokerdino> everything other than please
<prabuinet> jokerdino: will try
<prabuinet> jokerdino: à®¨à®©à¯à®±à®¿
<jokerdino> you are welcome.
<jokerdino> i take that as you are able to use the layout :D
<prabuinet> jokerdino: actually the ibus-m17 was missing in my machine
<prabuinet> after installing it i can get the layout
<jokerdino> oh
<jokerdino> nice to hear.
<prabuinet> one question,
<prabuinet> why this layout is not included in normal layouts
<jokerdino> not everyone uses tamil and as such, they want to cut down on default packages.
<prabuinet> i mean why this is supported only through ibus?
<prabuinet> ok
<jokerdino> by the way, we have a meeting this saturday
