In Ubuntu, the wijesekera keyboard is provided by the ibus-m17n package, which I find included by default in Ubuntu 21.04 as well as in Ubuntu 20.04.
While ibus-m17n is present on the Ubuntu desktop ISO, it does not stay after the installation is completed unless you select one of a few certain languages in the installer. Sinhala is (currently) not one of the languages which makes ibus-m17n stay:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-settings-daemon/-/blob/ubuntu/master/debian/patches/ubuntu/keyboard-Use-ibus-sources-from-locale.patch#L22 So you typically need to: * install the ibus-m17n package * log out and log in again and then:
If I go into Settings->Region & Language, I am able to find this keyboard under 'Other' -> 'Sinhala'. Is the problem that selecting wijesekera gives the wrong keymap, or is the problem that it has to be manually selected instead of being the default when choosing Sinhala as a language? Because I cannot find where it was the default input method for Sinhala prior to Ubuntu 21.04.
