can't remove on-screen keyboard through config

[iDmple]

I'm using xpra-html5 on a headless server inside a docker container, and the on-screen keyboard shows up. I can't find a way to deactivate it via the config file.

Could you please let me know how to do that?

I can't find a way to deactivate it via the config file

Which config file are you referring to?
The html5 client options are described here:
https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra-html5/blob/master/docs/Configuration.md

The on-screen keyboard is configured using the keyboard option.
The two commits above fix mobile device detection, so the on-screen keyboard will no longer be shown by default unless you're browsing from a mobile or tablet.

I'm referring to xpra.conf. Options in there have no effect on xpra-html5? I see that there is https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra-html5/blob/master/html5/default-settings.txt, I'm going to see if I can somehow remove it from there.

The URL parameters work for now.

Do you know if those commits are included in the xpra version packaged for ubuntu-20.04?

I'm referring to xpra.conf

That's only used by the server, though some of these options will apply to all clients. (but not the on-screen keyboard, which only exists in the html5 client)

The URL parameters work for now.

OK. I'm closing this ticket then.

Do you know if those commits are included in the xpra version packaged for ubuntu-20.04?

The 4.2 release will be out soon and will be packaged for Ubuntu 20.04 in the xpra.org repositories.

Ok for xpra.conf. Changing default-settings.txt did not seem to have any effect.

I will wait for the 4.2 release, thanks for answering me and clarifying those points this fast!

Hi,

I'm now using these versions on Ubuntu 20.04:

• xpra 4.2-r0-1
• xpra-html5 4.2-r1-1

and the on-screen keyboard still appears.

Is this normal?

Thanks for your help.

[totaam]

Is this normal?

No. Sorry. I had missed one location.
This is now fixed and will be in the next update. You can apply the trivial change above.

[iDmple]

Perfect many thanks :)

Hi again,

The keyboard is still showing in groovy (xpra repos). The versions that are installed are:

• xpra 4.1.3-r1-1
• xpra-html5 4.1.2

Would it be possible to get newer versions?

Thanks!

[totaam]

A new release of the html5 client will happen quite soon but you will not get packages for groovy anywhere:

Whoops, somehow I missed that!
I'll go to 21.04 then!

Thanks
