[Bug 421660] Re: gksu's and gksudo's modal password prompt prevents OnBoard's virtual keyboard input, causing accessibility issues

2019-06-11 Thread TJ
Had a user in IRC #ubuntu today re-rporting this for 18.04 when trying
to use Onboard. The user was asked to create a new bug report for their
issue but may not do so.

Adding this link which may be useful for other users caught by this:

2013-02-07 Thread Oliver Grawert
The nexus7 issue is fixed (update-notifier does not pop up gksu anymore
but uses pkexec which is usable with onboard).

While gksu is still broken in this regard (so leaving that bug task
open) and xdiagnose still uses it (leaving that open as well) you will
not get into a situation on the nexus7 where xdiagnose runs (and even if
... you wouldnt have any input method at all)

For the nexus7 i consider this issue solved (we will solve it harder by
dropping gksu from the default install though)

Keyboard issues with ubuntu 13.04 on Nexus 7 16gb wifi
I have stumbled upon a temp fix that worked for me;

when the keyboard comes up click the small 123 button on the keyboard should be 
bottom right
then far left, click the red button with wrench and screwdriver
this will bring up a menu for the keyboard settings
click the last option advanced 
then touch input should default to multi-touch 
change this to single-touch

REBOOT

should be good to go!

A while after boot and every now and than something crashes (I think it
is cups) and then System error occured window appears, I think you
call it whoopsie. When I click the report button, it asks for password
using gksudo, and I can't enter anything.

i found a little work around for this... if you touch/hold your finger
somewhere else on the screen you can usually (not always which i don't
understand) then type with another touch input.

just in case i'm not being clear - touch screen with left hand then
right hand type.

for fixing the remianing issues in raring (where the plan is to get rid of gksu 
in favour of using pkexec everywhere), it would be good to know when exactly 
users get gksu prompts.
we need to fix the apps using it to instead use pkexec. 
people seeing this issue on the nexus7, please tell us where/when exactly gksu 
pops up

2012-11-20 Thread marmuta
Well, we'd love to add this as a feature, but I'm not aware of anything
that would allow us to generally exempt Onboard from pointer grabs. If
this exists, I'd be interested to learn about it.

Back in GTK2 times Onboard used to have a toggle for Password dialogs
as normal windows, which basically toggled the disable-grab key. This
fell by the wayside with the switch to GTK3 and gsettings. We could
possibly bring it back, though going by the age of this bug and
duplicates, I'm not sure if we should. Is this still an issue today?

Since no one has mentioned it yet, gksu's grab can be turned off:
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/gksu/disable-grab --type boolean true

or for a little gui run
$ gksu-properties
and select Grab mode: disable

You should then be able to type passwords with Onboard.

Re: [Bug 421660] Re: gksu's and gksudo's modal password prompt prevents OnBoard's virtual keyboard input, causing accessibility issues

2012-11-19 Thread gabrielbenjamin
Certainly that's a workaround; I'm glad you mentioned it. I found out after
submitting this bug that prompts can be made not to grab via one of the
options in the Assistive Technologies section of Ubuntu Preferences (the
one below Enable assistive technologies). My only thought is that if
OnBoard is supposed to be a genuine keyboard substitute, it seems like an
overly broad solution--either gksu grabs focus from everything, including
OnBoard, or from nothing at. I wonder if it's possible to choose some
applications that are excluded from gksu's grab behavior? Seems like the
most satisfactory fix for the bug to implement that, and put OnBoard on
that list by default. I guess that makes this a feature request?
