For Debian based Linux distributions including Ubuntu the Dzongkha XKB package
(Dzongkha & Tibetan input method) is available from:
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115503&package_id=183806>
if it is not already included on your system.

[You can also download the whole Dzongkha Linux (Tibetan script - but localized 
for Dzongkha not Tibetan) from: 
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=115503>.]

BTW I'm supposed to be in charge of localizing GNOME for Tibetan - but so far 
nothing much has happened. If you know anyone who would be interested in 
participating in this please ask them to contact me. Since all the technical 
stuff for supporting Tibetan script in Linux has already been done as part of 
the Dzongkha Linux project the main thing left to do is to translate GNOME 
desktop and applications into Tibetan.
