Dictionary suggestions are not working properly in avro phonetic layout. Distro- linux mint 19 cinnamon

[kuntalkundu]

While using avro phonetic layout the drop down suggestion menu is displaying only the current word which has been just written, there are no any other suggestions of probable words are displaying. Suppose if I write 'soumen' the dropdown menu will show সউমেন but what we actually need is সৌমেন as first suggestion and rest are later. I did everything in openbangla settings to solve it but result is same.

[mominul]

Actually, you are typing wrong. You should type sOUmen because according to Avro Phonetic layout you would need to type OU to get ৌ kar and it is also a case sensitive.

Thanks!

[kuntalkundu]

it's just an example. yes, to write সৌমেন it's important to care the case sensitive letters while typing it with Avro phonetic, but I want to tell about the probable words suggestions which are being shown in Avro suggestion list. Like ঐক্য if I type "oiky" Ibus avro will show me atleast 3 suggestions in drop down menu including ঐক্য but openbangla phonetic only shows me just অইক্য. I'm attaching an example - https://mega.nz/#!jSAhlapI!h-Hqin4aBIt9vB9ujkMUJgbCPVrDIWLePYTae35pUW0

Can you give the screenshots when writing oiky with ibus-avro and openbangla? I want to see the difference.

[kuntalkundu]

Ibus Avro by Mateen- oiky https://mega.nz/#!ObZFGKTK!mBKkvoZM8mc7i6uTWIdLcBrwc5WBooClFYiweuEHb3w
openBangla- oiky https://mega.nz/#!GKQVjYBJ!bWKPaAuWB19Ta01P68dxKvLsP1Ig1X_j0zxcpd_PG28

[mominul]

Seems fine to me 🤔

Can you try with a different editor eg. gedit?

[kuntalkundu]

Mint is come with xed, fork of gedit, is this issue related to text editor? I'm confused! Ok I shall test it too asap. What is the result on LibreOffice 6? I too can remember when I did install ubuntu 18.04 openbangla phonetic works fine at that time. But this issue I have noticed since Manjaro Kde and now on mint 19 which is built on ubuntu 18.04!

[kuntalkundu]

yeah, I just tested openBangla keyboard in gedit installed on linuxmint and as expected result remained same. I also installed ubuntu 18.04 on a VM and install OpenBangla there and now it's phonetic suggestions are working fine! I think it's a bug of OBK. Ubuntu came with ibus IM as it's default input tool but other distros like mint or manjaro never come with ibus as default. OBK is an ibus based app and it works great with ubuntu but when ibus being set up manually in other distros result became slightly different (phonetic suggestions not working).

[kuntalkundu]

in between time I have tested OBK in Ubbuntu MATE 18.04 too. OBK phonetic suggestions are working correctly also there. So I can guess that OBK shall run much better on Ubuntu or on it's official derivatives. What about Manjaro or Arch version of OBK? I think this is a bug and wish soon it would be fixed for rest of distros based on debian or ubuntu.

[mominul]

Can you uninstall and then install latest OBK and report again please? Does your OS(cinnamon) requires a .deb or .rpm file for installation of a package?

[kuntalkundu]

Ok I will, linux mint cinnamon 19 is based on ubuntu 18.04 so it's a debian based os, need the .Deb packages.

[kuntalkundu]

What is the lates version of Obk? I have installed 1.5.0 already. Is there any new release? I just copied and paste the command lines provided in obk website for auto install. Should I use deb file?

[mominul]

Oh, no worries then. First uninstall OBK and then install it by pasting the command line provided in the website in your terminal. Can you also paste here the terminal output of the installation command?

[kuntalkundu]

how can I do that? little bit knowledge about that. I already finished the installation. this time I used .deb file for 18.04. now checking...

[kuntalkundu]

after reinstall obk the result remains same https://www.dropbox.com/s/aej62npbuz9x35m/%E0%A6%A6%E0%A7%87%E0%A6%B8.png?dl=0 now I am checking the 16.04 .deb package..

[mominul]

Oh thanks! I think I have gotten the root of the cause. Somehow OBK is being unable to load the database.

[kuntalkundu]

oh... that's great!! I suspect something like that somehow obk can't get it's database. here I too test the 16.04 deb package in mint19, result is same. Now how could we get the solution?

[mominul]

can you follow these instructions, please?
At first, run this command in your terminal:

$ /usr/share/openbangla-keyboard/OpenBangla-Engine

After then open a text editor and press some keys. Afterward press Ctrl + C in the terminal to exit that command. There should be some debug information printed to your terminal, copy them and paste it here.

Thanks!

[kuntalkundu]

wait... I am doing

This is a missing dependency error. Can you install qt5-default package? You can install it like this:

sudo apt install qt5-default

Then can you again try running /usr/share/openbangla-keyboard/OpenBangla-Engine?

[kuntalkundu]

sure, wait few moment

This is quite an irritating bug 😬 I'll install cinnamon to kill this bug 😈

[kuntalkundu]

thanks for the promise <3 yes this is very irritating. Please check the AUR package too, I am not using arch based distro now, so can not tell you the updates on this bug but last time I had installed Manjaro KDE and what I can remember the bug was also there most probably.

[mominul]

I have committed a fix in the master branch. If you want to try it, I can give you the compiling instructions.

[bdeshi]

@kuntalkundu @mominul let me know if I need to update the aur pkgbuild recipe. :)

[shakib609]

thanks for the promise <3 yes this is very irritating. Please check the AUR package too, I am not using arch based distro now, so can not tell you the updates on this bug but last time I had installed Manjaro KDE and what I can remember the bug was also there most probably.

I am not facing any issues in Manjaro KDE.

[kuntalkundu]

Could you provide a screenshot of Obk phonetic suggestions in manjaro kde?

[mominul]

@shakib609 @kuntalkundu This bug is some kind of missing dependency error. As @shakib609 has said it shouldn't happen in most scenarios but for some unknown reason QT seems unable to load the SQLite library sometimes. The fix I have pushed completely removes the use of SQLite database, so there is no need for QT to load SQLite library anymore. Thus this issue can be called fixed. 🎉

I am thinking to make a new release with the fix included.

[kuntalkundu]

that's great... countdown for 1.5.1 is now starts 💃

[mominul]

Released version 1.5.1 with the fix! 🎉
