In what scenario does the keyboard appear? Do you mean the virtual keyboard in sddm?

louis-frayser commented 5 years ago

Yes, SDDM. I have the same problem. The virtual keyboard covers the login dialog. Every time I try to login, the keyboard pops up and blocks the view. I enabled it once and don't know how to disable it.

Ah, I know that problem. My workaround is the following:

  services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.extraConfig = ''
    [General]
    InputMethod=
  '';

The manpage (sddm.conf (5)) tells the following about this option:

InputMethod=
    Set the Qt input method for the greeter. Tablet users with Qt Virtual Keyboard installed can set this to "qtvirtualkeyboard" for the on-screen keyboard. Other known values are "ibus" for the Intelligent Input Bus, or "compose" for dead keys support. Leave this empty if unsure.

Thanx Richard. I'm back in business.

InputMethod=

did the trick.

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

This is still relevant. Disabling my fix still opens up the keyboard by default.

I marked this as stale due to inactivity. → More info

Still happens 2024 with sddm if I set a custom theme.

Edit:

To fix with newer versions of sddm settings I had to add this to configuration:

  services.xserver.displayManager.sddm.settings = {
    General = {
      InputMethod="";
     };
   };
