[07:20] <prabuinet> hi there, anybody using tamill99 layout in ubuntu?
[07:35] <jokerdino> hello prabuinet
[07:35] <jokerdino> i am using the phonetic layout
[07:35] <jokerdino> hi there Logan_
[07:35] <Logan_> Hi jokerdino. I was just helping prabuinet out (I don't know Tamil at all).
[07:36] <jokerdino> oh alright then. welcome to our IRC channel.
[07:36] <prabuinet> jokerdino: i like to use 99 layout
[07:36] <jokerdino> so, what's your question about?
[07:37] <prabuinet> jokerdino: i can't find it in ubuntu
[07:37] <jokerdino> oh that.
[07:37] <jokerdino> one sec.
[07:38] <jokerdino> http://askubuntu.com/questions/126871/how-to-make-tamil-fonts-work-in-a-chat-client
[07:39] <jokerdino> that should give you a basic idea of what you should be doing.
[07:42] <prabuinet> jokerdino: under "select an input method" combobox i have only chineese
[07:43] <jokerdino> hmm weird.
[07:43] <jokerdino> sudo apt-get install m17n-db m17n-contrib ibus-m17n please
[07:43] <jokerdino> everything other than please
[07:44] <prabuinet> jokerdino: will try
[07:55] <prabuinet> jokerdino: நன்றி
[07:56] <jokerdino> you are welcome.
[07:56] <jokerdino> i take that as you are able to use the layout :D
[07:56] <prabuinet> jokerdino: actually the ibus-m17 was missing in my machine
[07:56] <prabuinet> after installing it i can get the layout
[07:56] <jokerdino> oh
[07:56] <jokerdino> nice to hear.
[07:56] <prabuinet> one question,
[07:57] <prabuinet> why this layout is not included in normal layouts
[07:57] <jokerdino> not everyone uses tamil and as such, they want to cut down on default packages.
[07:57] <prabuinet> i mean why this is supported only through ibus?
[07:58] <prabuinet> ok
[07:59] <jokerdino> by the way, we have a meeting this saturday
