This affects the practicality of Ubuntu as an operating system on my Dell Venue 8 Pro. Encrypting just the home directory is not really a satisfactory alternative, nor is carrying a USB keyboard at all times. I found this:
https://github.com/zrafa/onscreenkeyboard as a rudimentary example of what could be implemented as a quick hack. I don't have the experience to modify it in a very helpful way, but in my tests, if I set MOUSEFILE in osk_mouse.c to "/dev/input/mice", I am able to _somewhat_ control it via the touchscreen – emphasis on "somewhat". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1541649 Title: Plymouth needs a safe method to unlock the device on boot without a physical keyboard.
