Hello,

Thanks for the bug report! Do you been that the moolticute text fields do not allow text input or something else?

Thanks

Right, if executed that way it is not possible to type in text field. Generally all keyboard commands are ignored.

Hello, I'm confused... do you mean that you can't use the mooltipass mini manual credential recall?

[randomisresistance]

That works, but if want to use the credential management mode for example the keyboard is not working in the moolticute GUI.

The workaround for this was kinda easy at it was for me to install the .deb packet on my system and use the binary supplied in /usr/bin/ instead of the appImage.

Same under Ubuntu 16.04. The error message when starting the AppImage is:

zenity, kdialog, Xdialog missing. Skipping /tmp/.mount_MooltiCuDFvg/usr/bin//moolticute.sh.wrapper.
xkbcommon: ERROR: failed to add default include path ././/share/X11/xkb
Qt: Failed to create XKB context!
Use QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT environmental variable to provide an additional search path, add ':' as separator to provide several search paths and/or make sure that XKB configuration data directory contains recent enough contents, to update please see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/ .`

as a workaround I wrote a wrapper script which simply sets the environment variable before executing Moolticute

#!/bin/sh
export QT_XKB_CONFIG_ROOT=/usr/share/X11/xkb
/path/to/app/image/Moolticute-v0.12.7.glibc2.14-x86_64.AppImage

then keyboard input is working.

Cheers Christian

This does apply to openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma as well.
