I cannot get the onscreen keyboard to come up. I already turned it on in the Universal Access settings. I also opened up Onboard settings to have it auto hide at the bottom of the screen. When I tried to get it running from terminal, it got.


Traceback (most recent call last):

I am also unable to get finger touch enabled, though the stylus input seems to be working fine. Any ideas?
