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! 16gb wifi aka grouper Running MultiROM v3 Stock 4.2 cm 10.1 ubuntu 13.04 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gksu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421660 Title: gksu's and gksudo's modal password prompt prevents OnBoard's virtual keyboard input, causing accessibility issues Status in Ubuntu on the Nexus 7: New Status in “gksu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-defaults-nexus7” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm loath to report this as a bug, since it is functioning as designed, but I can't really find a better place to submit my complaint. I'm running 9.04 Netbook Remix, and if I run a GUI application and do something requiring sudo privileges, I receive a password prompt that blocks access to any other windows on the screen. Fine and good, but because of a disability, my only means of keyboard input is the OnBoard on-screen keyboard. My only recourse for such basic tasks as installing updates and adding packages is to pull out the terminal, hope I can find the pertinent command, and sudo it so I can give my password via terminal. This rather negates the convenience of doing these things from the GUI. Naturally, the expected behavior is that I be able to use OnBoard to enter my password into the prompt. Any other user who uses an on-screen keyboard or other GUI-based application for keyboard input will be susceptible to this issue. I imagine there are a fair number.
