Need on-screen keyboard to login

Asked by John Van Wallegen

I am using a Fujitsu ST-5020 Tablet PC. I loaded Ubuntu 10.10 desktop and it works well with the pen. My only problem is that I have to attach a physical keyboard to log on. Is there an on-screen keyboard I can use to log in?

Yes, you can use on screen keyboard as you are using touch screen pen. Just go to Application --> Ubuntu Software Center --> Accessories--> keyboard --> install it. That's it.

I have installed the keyboard application. Now, how do I get it active so that I can log in with it? The login screen doesn't appear to have a way to launch it.

I found the way to activate the keypad during login.

Thank you.
