Now it should work just fine. If not make sure your Keyboard Input Method System is > IBus

Avro Stops writing Bangla. Try to restart ibus.

ibus restart

That seems to be some steps which apply to the GNOME desktop environment on Debian or Ubuntu. Do you suggest that the README.md file should include a specific section for that combo?

Users who want to make use of ibus-avro often encounter problems since they don't know how to set up IBus on their desktop environment. The docs for respective distribution is often poor in this respect.

Yeah, thats a shame :( I once planned to ask community to make video / blog tutorials of their respective distro/DE and make a collection of those available in website.... Maybe I'll do that sometime in future.

@sarim: I packaged another IBus plugin, ibus-typing-booster, and noticed a rather good attempt to explain how to set it up on different DEs:
