Since I've upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, I can't use the onboard screenkeyboard anymore. I really liked that keyboard, because it is compact, easy functionality (right click for characters etc.) etc... The onboard freezes now to one side of the screen, I can't type with it at all, other programs have strange behaviors. Is there a solution to fix the onboard, so I can use it again? Or is there something similar? I now use the screen keyboard which is available in Ubuntu itself, but I don't like this one. It sometimes presses keys automatic, takes a lot of space at the bottom of the screen, no right click functionality etc...
I am running Ubuntu 19.04 on a Surface Go. There is the default on-screen keyboard which looks exactly like the ones on phones.
But I need (at least sometimes) the extra keys like Alt, Ctrl, and Umlauts.
So I would like either too enhance the default layout or disable it and use Onboard. I couldn't find any useful hints.
Could anyone help me here?
Every odd reboot this volume slider in alsamixer gets reset to max: https://i.imgur.com/YGgk2LQ.png
Which is the slider that controls the recording of my playing audio.
In addition to that, I've disabled my onboard sound in BIOS but Ubuntu still shows it as an available (configurable) device: http://i.imgur.com/DFzLi0P.png (HD-Audio Generic)
Not the end of the world but annoying when using any voice chat! "Dude I can hear your music!"
I've tried setting an XFCE startup script that does "alsactl restore filename" but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
In 16.04 the Onboard on-screen keyboard was available by default, but it looks like it was dropped (because of Gnome integration problems?).
Question 1: Can anyone confirm was onboard replaced by caribou?
Having done a fresh install of 18.04, looking in Synaptic it seems I have neither onboard nor caribou installed and switching on Screen Keyboard in Universal Access does nothing.
Question 2: Is this normal?
Question 3: Given I only use it occasionally when using unfamiliar keyboards (e.g. Greek), which will be less problematic?
I’m also using Budgie desktop, though the base install is the vanilla 18.04 with Gnome.
For some strange reason (i.e. I don't have a tablet computer) Onboard, the on-screen keyboard, starts every time I log in. I've checked Startup Applications, but it's not listed there. What could be making it start like this, and how can I get it to stop?
