I’m glad it worked out. Here’s the email I sent to him for posterity’s sake:

Under FrontEnd-Global Setup, make sure your Keyboard Layout is something sane (I wonder if English/US vs. English/UK would make a difference?). Under IMEngine-Global Setup, you might want to disable everything except English/European and Greek (polytonic precomposed) Unicode to make sure there aren’t any problems there. If that doesn’t help, perhaps sending along a screenshot would be helpful.

Just to say that a prompt and helpful reply from Ted has got me sorted. I’m very grateful

Followed the instructions and all seemed to go smoothly, but still can’t type in Greek or Hebrew after rebooting. GRk keyboard option produces some strange Icelandic looking script ( ŋðŋđðŋđŋ µø) and Hebrew I can’t even find.

As a novice I have not a clue what to do next - apart from reluctantly returning to Windows where I know how to get these things working. Would be grateful for any thoughts. Thanks

Thanks. Great instruction. Two notes (by my own trial and error):
1. Make sure and use the gutsy repository, not hardy. I tried hardy and it seems to be working… but nothing happens. My bad.

2. Requires system restart, not just application restart.

Just wanted to let you know that step 6 is not strictly necessary. kmfl will load uncompiled kmn files just fine so there is no need to compile the keyboard beforehand.

Thank you very much, this worked out perfectly! Hope you don’t mind I’m posting this (with a link to you page of-course) to ubuntuforums, as it seems people have problems with getting SCIM and kmfl working together.
