AFAIK input methods like the OSK require a third-party process to mediate between the toolkit and the shell, telling the shell when to pop up/down the OSK. So not having that intermediary running (and/or with sufficient privileges) is the problem.
Was it content-hub or something else? I can't remember. If it's not UAL's job then Unity8 should have it running already as part of the session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672983 Title: OSK fails to appear with GTK Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Ubuntu 17.04 Unity 8 OSK doesn't work with Xmir or gtk3 enable the On Screen Keyboard (from indicator menu or from system settings) open gedit or terminix (without Xmir) and try to type something, OSK doesn't show, same with running on Xmir To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1672983/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
