Onboard on Fedora

You're still missing dependencies. Post #10 in
https://answers.launchpad.net/onboard/+question/221655
is the closest I have to a recipe for Fedora, unfortunately. It's probably outdated a by now, though. You would have to figure out the missing packages from debian/control, or simple from the error messages you get.

> setup.py: sdist needs libgtk-3-dev, libxtst-dev, libxkbfile-dev, libdconf-dev, libcanberra-dev
> and libhunspell-dev
Look at the "-dev" package names and try to figure out the corresponding package names on Fedora. Then install these. Some might simply end in -devel instead of -dev, bur others might have slightly different names or multiple might be stuck together in one single package. It's a bit of trial and error, but probably not too hard to do.

If I had more time I would install Fedora here and figure it out for you, but we're a bit under pressure to get a release out in the next two weeks. Sorry about that.

I got it to work by installing packages and help from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/1yafli/how_to_get_onboard_onscreen_keyboard_working_in/

I can't get the text prediction to work yet. I have a log of the output here: http://pastebin.com/9WB3mmuB

This line:
22:25:14.996 WARNING Onboard.WPEngine: Failed to find language models in '/home/jer/.local/share/onboard/models': Bestand of map bestaat niet (2)

"Bestand of map bestaat niet" is dutch for file not found. The file doesn't exist so it's right but how do I get the file?

The files showed up, I don't know why.

Some other issues, I can't get it to start on boot. The option to start in the background is greyed out. Also it won't launch on the login screen.

I followed your advice from: https://answers.launchpad.net/onboard/+question/284488 but that didn't work.

I enabled the Fedora keyboard on login so it's only a minor inconvenience.

The warnings from your pastbin are benign, but most should go away with the latest Onboard from trunk.
bzr branch lp:onboard
cd onboard
./setup.py build

"Failed to find language models" in /home is harmless too and should only happen the first time you select a new language. After a while auto-save will create those files.

If gnome-shell's default keyboard shows up for gnome-terminal, gedit, etc., then auto-show and word suggestions should work in Onboard too. On Debian derivatives we usually suggest to install
libgail-common libatk-adaptor qt-at-spi libreoffice-gtk libreoffice-gtk3
and
libatk-wrapper-java
if you need Java support.
That should make it work with a few more applications, like libreoffice, Firefox, etc. Again, I don't have Fedora packages, unfortunately.

> The option to start in the background is greyed out.
Only if auto-show above it is enabled.

> Also it won't launch on the login screen.
If you use GDM as display manager then I don't have a solution yet. It used to start up fine there in the past, but apparently something changed.
