Hello:

I could not find a package for ubuntu noble, and the one for the previous ubuntu version, mantic, did not work. I had no previous experience tinkering with debian packages, but it turned out to be very simple. I unpacked the deb package for mantic, and in the DEBIAN/control file, I replaced

Since ubuntu noble does includes none of locate, slocate or mlocate, but instead plocate. I recompiled the package and it worked, so I wanted to share the experience. Simply unpacking the software and creating a simlink did not get the correct keyboard layout, but the installation from the deb package did.

Thanks for the great software.
