Description Stuart D Gathman 2018-10-31 16:15:51 UTC

Description of problem:
On a cinnamon desktop install, onscreen keyboard option on lightdm login screen does nothing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lightdm-1.28.0-2.fc28.x86_64
cinnamon-3.8.9-1.fc28.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable onscreen keyboard in cinnamon
2. Restart
3. Select "Onscreen keyboard" option in accessibility dropdown in lightdm

Actual results:
nada

Expected results:
onscreen keyboard

Additional info:
The keyboard works great once you are logged into cinnamon.  I wonder if a different package enables the lightdm keyboard...

It's intentional that onboard isn't installed as it sucks, if you need the function you will need to install it.

sudo dnf install onboard

Comment 2 Stuart D Gathman 2018-10-31 19:13:47 UTC

Some mention of that in the config comments would be very helpful.  The login keyboard does suck, but it is only needed to type a password, so not a very great trial: less so that digging up a USB keyboard to plug in temporarily to login with one hand.

Your welcome to submit a pull request as notes are bottom of my very long to do list.

Onboard doesn't always release it's key grab after login, I call that a major issue.

Touch screen users aren't my target audience, my aim is the desktop or workstation.

Comment 4 Stuart D Gathman 2018-11-01 02:25:16 UTC

The target audience is handicapped users.

Don't bother trying to appeal to me as I have very low EQ!
