I have written my own IBUS table in a .mim file, and copied it to /usr/share/m17n
Unfortunately, it doesn't show up on the language list.
I based it on an already existing and working mim file, and it was working until Kubuntu 19.10 (even then, it refused to work for a long time, and then suddenly showed up)
I have checked the permissions
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6176 Apr 25 10:41 si-ralla.mim
and it is the same as the ones that work.
I am at my wit's end right now. Does anyone have any ideas on what's wrong, or a way I can debug this to find where I am screwing up?
Thank you.
** EDIT ** Literally 15 minutes later
After writing this post, I opened the file as root, and deleted all the multiple tabs between the string and the comment, and it worked!
All of a sudden, it showed up.
And now I am left wondering what it was that did that?
Was it the removing of the multiple tabs? But there are many .mim files that have multiple tabs in them
Was it writing it as root? But all writing as root does, is change the ownerships and permissions to what they were already.
Does anyone have any ideas?
