Ubuntu 16.04: No on screen keyboard

[Tinche]

Hi,

been playing around with this, really loving it so far! However I can't get the on-screen keyboard to show up. I've bound 'Special Action -> Display On-Screen Keyboard' to a button but nothing's happening. Do I need to install anything else?

I seem to have the same issue in 14.04, I've installed the prebuilt package. Runing scc-osd-keyboard and scc-osd-menu in terminal will produce and error, missing libXfixes.so, however libxfixes3 package is installed.

missing libXfixes.so

Sounds like good reason for trouble.
What is whereis libXfixes.so output on your machine?

[Tinche]

Can confirm,

> scc-osd-keyboard
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/scc-osd-keyboard", line 20, in <module>
    from scc.osd.keyboard import Keyboard
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scc/osd/__init__.py", line 11, in <module>
    from scc.lib import xwrappers as X
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scc/lib/xwrappers.py", line 10, in <module>

    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
OSError: libXfixes.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libxfixes3 is installed (1:5.0.1-2).

> whereis libXfixes.so
libXfixes:

Also,

> locate libXfixes.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXfixes.so.3.1.0

Same as @Tinche 's response

Ah, Ubuntu, Ubuntu...
It's like they do things different especially to break my code :)

I'm firing up VM...

[kozec]

Ok, fixed and released in latest release.

[Tinche]

can confirm, writing this with the keyboard :)

[Tinche]

Thanks for fixing, that was really fast :)

[kozec]

Luckily, it was simple as well :)
