Virtual keyboard by default #2

Closed DraGiuS closed 5 years ago

DraGiuS commented 5 years ago

Hello, Why a virtual keyboard is set by default instead of the default setting ?

MarianArlt commented 5 years ago

Please could you be more specific? Are you sure it's not related to https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/952?

I have the same issues. When you click on the textarea to enter your password. The virtual keyboard grow up But I'm on a desktop computer with a physical keyboard

Could you please check your /etc/sddm.conf file and the default /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf file for InputMethod? If it has virtualkeyboard set, remove it. If there is no entry for InputMethod in any config file or it is empty, I would recommend uninstall qt-virtualkeyboard if you don't need it...This is an incredibly annoying issue with SDDM itself.

Okay I will try, but if do that I will never have the Virtual keyboard ever.

Why we don't add a button like your other sddm theme ?

There's a lot of coding involved in getting the virtual keyboard to work correctly. This is clearly an upstream issue, as SDDM has no default means to handle this relatively new function. We theme creators are held responsible when in reality this should have a sane default in SDDM itself.

I might adapt the Sugar themes in the future to work around this. Until then I'm sorry there is little choice when it comes to this subject. It's a major annoyance and I apologize but really, it shouldn't be the themes responsibility. It makes it look like a bug in the theme when it's a lack in the functionality of SDDM.

I fixed it by doing the following command :
sed -i 's/InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard/InputMethod=/' /etc/sddm.conf
