Thanks, Christoph, I wasn't aware that your were testing. There's a fix in trunk now, but that one touches source code. For Utopic we could possibly modify onboard-autostart.desktop only. Might have a better chance to get approved at this late point in time. I'll discuss this with Francesco.
** Changed in: onboard Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1376764 Title: on-screen keyboard requires expert knowledge to launch in 14.10 Final Beta Status in Onboard on-screen keyboard: Fix Committed Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Activating the on-screen keyboard in the settings menu has no effect. Trying to manually execute /usr/bin/onboard via pointing-and-clicking opens up gedit (i.e., it's not recognised as an executable). No other keyboard input is available for the device in question, so further tests via command line (such as confirming that `python /usr/bin/onboard' starts onboard normally) are not feasible. Thus, 14.10 final beta is bootable but completely unusable on some tablet devices (Surface Pro 3 here). (Filing against `onboard' because this might be an `onboard' installation issue.)
