Onboard keyboard issues... - Eric Rikkinen - 10-09-2025

Hello...

I have a Surface Go tablet onto which I installed Linux Lite v. 7.6.  The issue is as follows; When attempting to use Onboard onscreen keyboard it simply vanishes off the screen the instant I tap it.  I wish to use this device while mobile and do not want to attach a full keyboard every time I need to type something.  Has anyone encountered this situation before?  Any suggestions would be helpful. 

Thanks>

I've noticed this too. Will look into a fix and advise a solution.

Please try the following:

Code:
gsettings set org.onboard.keyboard input-event-source 'GTK'


Code:
sudo apt install mousetweaks

Code:
sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

then try onboard.
