bn-bijoyUnicode.mim seems to work fine for me on Fedora 40, ibus-m17n-1.4.29-1.fc40.x86_64,
ibus-1.5.30-5.fc40.x86_64.
bn-bijoyClassic.mim in your repo looks broken to me, I don't know what this is supposed to be, maybe it has been destroyed by some encoding conversion?

[abirabedinkhan]

bn-bijoyClassic.mim you have to use specific fonts for that
Yeah it works on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine too but not working on Debian Buster Xfce arm x11

none of them work for me on Debian Buster Xfce arm x11

And what happens? Can you give more details what doesn't work?

And what happens? Can you give more details what doesn't work?

normally normal ibus input works but any of the inputs from m17n don't work. It just spits out the key, which I'm currently typing, rather than giving me the Unicode fonts.

[abirabedinkhan]

Is there any place where I can find the logs of m17n??

[mike-fabian]

ibus-m17n doesn't write any logs unfortunately.

Do any ibus input methods work for you at all? Do you only have problems with bn-bijoyUnicode.mim in ibus-m17n or do other ibus input methods not work either?

is ibus running? What does ps aux | grep ibus show?

Can you try to install ibus-typing-booster as well please?

ibus-typing-booster supports all m17n-db input methods supported by ibus-m17n and has a lot more features and it writes a log file where we can look if there are problems.

Here is the user documentation for ibus-typing-booster:

https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/docs/user/

Especially look at the Setup chapter https://mike-fabian.github.io/ibus-typing-booster/docs/user/#2 to find out how to setup ibus-typing-booster to use bn-bijoyUnicode.mim

Here is a screenshot of the ibus-typing-booster setup tool when it is etup to use bn-bijoyUnicode.mim:

So please try ibus-typing-booster to find out whether ibus works at all for you and there is only a specific problem with ibus-m17n or whether it affects all ibus input methods.

Yeah IBUS works normally with other options but not working with m17n.

When I try to open the setup for the ibus-typing-booster it doesn't show an interface like yours that is given in the screenshot.

[mike-fabian]

The setup tool shown in your screencast is the setup tool of ibus-m17n, not the setup tool of ibus-typing-booster.

There is no ibus-typing-booster seen in this menu:

So you probably need to add ibus-typing-booster with ibus-setup as described here for Xfce:

Yeah it works on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine too but not working on Debian Buster Xfce arm x11

Is your Ubuntu 22.04 machine also using the arm architecture? Could the problem have something to do with the arm architecture? I have no arm machine available and have never tried ibus-m17n on arm.
