On screen keyboard

[_Aries_]

I just installed Ubuntu on my Asus eee pad transformer. Its a touch pad without a keyboard. I was wondering if there is a way to access the on screen keyboard without a keyboard? I cant get past the login screen.

The other guys that have ubuntu working have the dock with they keyboard, I dont have the money for that right now lol. Thanks in advance!!

Tap the little man figure on the bottom right & select keyboard.
The keyboard is called onboard, you'll need to set it in accessabilty for the desktop to.

type onboard on terminal to bring up the keyboard anytime.

This would work if I had a keyboard. I just have a touch screen, thats it.

So I went to the Control Center and Assistive Technoligies> Preferred Applications> onBoard and I select "Run on start" but it never comes on. Instead, Orca runs in the beginning.

did you select onboard? i think default it's set to dash.

I finally got it, had to use something called adb shell to get into it but it finally worked. I dont think you can access onboard any other way from the initial setup screen. Thank you so much for your help!!
