How do I input text in Tamil?

I would like to type a non-Latin script (Tamil) in Ubuntu 10.10.

I have installed iBUS, added all the Tamil packages in synaptic, and installed Tamil in Languages support and I still can't get it to work.

Any suggestions?

iBus preferences dialog

Language and Text settings dialog showing iBus selected as input method

Synaptic showing Tamil packages

Solution 1:

Please type the following in terminal:

sudo apt-get install ibus-m17n
