Malayalam Input in debian jessie (Gnome 3.14.4 , Ibus)

I recently updated to Debian Jessie. and found out that my earlier setup of ibus doesn’t work anymore.

After digging a bit, I could fix the problem. noting it down here for future reference.

•  Install ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-m17n libreoffice-gtk

apt-get install ibus ibus-gtk ibus-gtk3 ibus-m17n libreoffice-gtk

• Enable ibus input in “Input Method” app

• Restart x server

service gdm restart

• Go to “Region and language” and add a convenient malayalam input method (swanalekha or mozhi or inscript) in the input section
• Go to “Keyboard”  app and in the Shortcuts section, update a convenient shortcut to switch between the input methods.

And Happy Typing
