The keys are in gsettings, at org.gnome.desktop.screensaver. To have Onboard show up when unlocking the screen they need to be set to embedded-keyboard-command = 'onboard --xid' embedded-keyboard-enabled = True
The lightdm greeter (unity-greeter) has "onboard --xid" hard-coded into the greeter code. I believe there's nothing to configure (yet). Onboard can set the screen-saver keys on user action, as Francesco wrote above, or automatically and silently on startup (since 0.96.1). The latter requires to have xembed-onboard = True in onboard-defaults.conf. 'xembed-onboard' is the key behind the checkbox in preferences. Basically this enables the toggle by default. Francesco has added this to the patch for the Ubuntu package. This is not a 100% solution though. If Onboard has never been run before, it won't show up in the unlock screen either. Also, if any other on-screen keyboard has set itself to be the unlock keyboard, Onboard won't stay silent, but pop up one of two message boxes asking the user what to do. It's a bit like the default web browser setting. it wouldn't be polite to set it silently in this case. For testing, you could do gsettings reset-recursively apps.onboard gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.screensaver then run (Ubuntu's) onboard once and lock the screen -> it should show the keyboard Or, to simulate some other app grabbing the unlock keys gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver embedded-keyboard-command 'some-other-osk' running onboard should then pop up a message box to either overwrite the setting or disable the checkbox in Onboard's preferences. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/857813 Title: onboard doesn't show on lock screen in 11.10 beta 2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/onboard/+bug/857813/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
