NO BRO
I THINK THEY HAVE REMOVED THE m17n sinhala from the repository. i wonder how people type sinhala with wijesekara layout on ubuntu.Google is your friend....... try searching for it ... it will be there somewhere.......NO BRO
WS is on my xubuntu... the way i told you have to set.......
WS layout is available on my xfce...... it has to be there in you gonme... try your 'ibus' settings........
the reason is my already familiar with wijesekara layout. thats why im looking for it.

ඔප්ෂන්ස් ටික ඔක්කොම තිබිල - නමුත් හැන්ගියා තිබිල තියෙන්නෙ ඒව නැවත පේන විදියට හදාගෙන ibus restart කරන්න තියෙන්නෙ
මෙන්න කරන විදිය....
Since ibus-m17n and m17n-db are fully up to date, the underlying files are already present on your system.
If Sinhala still isn't showing up in Settings, GNOME is either filtering out extra input sources or IBus hasn't refreshed its layout cache.
Here is how to resolve it:
Bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
Bash
ibus restart
(If you are on an X11 desktop session, press Alt + F2, type r, and press Enter to restart the desktop interface).

If Sinhala still isn't showing up in Settings, GNOME is either filtering out extra input sources or IBus hasn't refreshed its layout cache.
Here is how to resolve it:
1. Unhide Extra Input Sources
GNOME hides specialized m17n layouts by default. Enable all sources by running this command in your terminal:Bash
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources show-all-sources true
2. Restart IBus and GNOME Shell
Force IBus to clear its cache and rescan installed engines:Bash
ibus restart
(If you are on an X11 desktop session, press Alt + F2, type r, and press Enter to restart the desktop interface).
3. Add the Layout from Settings
- Open Settings > Keyboard.
- Under Input Sources, click + (Add Source).
- Click the three vertical dots (or search bar) at the bottom to expand full search results.
- Type Sinhala.
- You should now see the (m17n) options (such as Sinhala (wijesekera (m17n)) or Sinhala (phonetic (m17n))).
