AFAIK input methods like the OSK require a third-party process to mediate between the toolkit and the shell, telling the shell when to pop up/down the OSK. So not having that intermediary running (and/or with sufficient privileges) is the problem.
Was it content-hub or something else? I can't remember. If it's not UAL's job then Unity8 should have it running already as part of the session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672983 Title: OSK fails to appear with GTK To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1672983/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
