could you make this usable under asahi?

ghost commented 11 months ago

I think you would have to compile it from source.

Ashir-Abrar commented 11 months ago

I'm new to linux and using fedora and kde desktop. please guide me how to do that

Ashir-Abrar commented 11 months ago

besides the latest support for fedora for this app is fedora38 but I am running fedora 39. would it still work?

You have to compile OpenBangla Keyboard by following these commands:

sudo dnf -y update
sudo dnf -y install @buildsys-build rust cargo cmake qt5-qtdeclarative-devel libzstd-devel fcitx5 fcitx5-devel ninja-build
git clone --recursive https://github.com/OpenBangla/OpenBangla-Keyboard.git
cd OpenBangla-Keyboard
git checkout develop
git submodule update
mkdir build
cmake -Bbuild -DENABLE_FCITX=ON
ninja -C build
sudo ninja install -C build

After that, you have to follow the instructions from step 2 of this page

@Ashir-Abrar I must also warn you, in Fedora KDE 39 on Wayland with KDE Plasma 5.27.9 I recently encountered a bug where despite installing fcitx and openbangla properly, Fcitx won't show up under the "Virtual Keyboards" section of KDE Settings Keyboard menu, preventing me from using OBK, this has forced me to return back to GNOME, although I donot know if it has been fixed after that or not.

I had it working perfectly fine on KDE Plasma 5.27.8 but the .9 point release broke it for me, it is very much unlikely to be an OBK issue and more like a KDE issue.

Also kinda offtopic but I recommend you stick with GNOME for sometime as a newcomer to Linux, as KDE is notorious for being buggy and glitchy.

@larina3315... I am using KDE Plasma 5.27.9 in Void Linux and fcitx5 & OpenBangla Keyboard just works fine in wayland session. I think it is more of a Fedora 39 issue rather than KDE Plasma.

thank you for informing me about this, I always did find Fedora's KDE spins to be moderate in quality but didn't expect this level of breakage.

Please feel free to comment if you have anything to add, for now, I am closing this issue.
