I've managed to put together a reasonably usable daily driver tablet computer using a Fujitsu Q572 tablet and Elementary OS. I am using Onboard as my on screen keyboard. I can't seem to find a way to make either the keyboard to pop up, the activate keyboard icon, or even the universal access icon on the logon screen. Suggestions?

You might need to tweak my quick search for what display set yours is, one is lightdm-gtk?: https://askubuntu.com/questions/3696...ppear-on-login

e.g: x.xx screen keybord at log in

Thanks. The display manager is lightdm but for some reason the recommended edit doesn't seem to work.

There is a file in /etc/lightdm called io.elementary.greeter.conf with the value #onscreen-keyboard=false.

I tried uncommenting it and (1) changing the value to true, (2) changing the value to onboard, (3) leaving it alone and adding the keyboard=onboard line. No luck. For some reason the universal access icon never appears on the logon screen like it does on Ubuntu.



This is the directory

user@user-STYLISTIC-Q572:/etc/lightdm$ cd /etc/lightdm/
user@user-STYLISTIC-Q572:/etc/lightdm$ ls
io.elementary.greeter.conf lightdm.conf lightdm.conf.d users.conf



These are the contents of io.elementary.greeter.conf

[greeter]
#activate-numlock=true
#default-wallpaper=/usr/share/backgrounds/elementaryos-default
#high-contrast=false
#onscreen-keyboard=false
#screensaver-timeout=60



These are the contents of lightdm.conf

[Seat:*]
autologin-guest=false
autologin-user=user
autologin-user-timeout=0



I've managed a temporary workaround by automatically logging in and turning off locks from suspend in the security and privacy settings.

onscreen-keyboard=false lightdm
