I have the same issues like Chris! Using matchbox keyboad under Raspian Jessi on my Raspberry Pi 2011.12 it uses 100% CPU and Florence quits when clicking on any button. I started Florence on the cmd line - here is the output: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ florence Florence version 0.6.2 ** (florence:3470): WARNING **: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any.service files XRecord extension found version=1.13 Your screen does not support alpha channel.

Cdr Software For Avaya. Is at-spi-bus-launcher running? Trace/breakpoint trap I did NOT see any log lines in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog.
How to install on screen keyboard in raspbian without a physical keyboard? I installed the keyboard in the pi. Raspberry Pi Raspbian Web Kiosk Virtual. I bought a raspberry pi2 and 7 inch waveshare touchscreen. The SD card came along with the system already flashed. It turns on and everything works, but how do I. Raspberry Pi Virtual Keyboard by Tony DiCola One great use for the MPR121 is as a capacitive touch keyboard, where pressing a touch input causes a key to be pressed on a Raspberry Pi.
Hi everybody, I think a softkeyboard (virtual keybd) would be very useful on Raspberrypi so you could nicely use a simple RF mouse and a USB WiFi dongle to completely manage the box without the need of any expansion USB hub nor costly Bluetooth Keyboard. I succeded in this right now thanks to Tom Sato () after downloaded and compiled the sources on my Raspberrypi-2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian. I just had to hack a bit installing the required libs: sudo apt-get install libxt-dev libxaw7-dev libxtst-dev xutils-dev Then run xmkmf; make install install.man and the softkeyboard was ready for use. Hope this can be helpful, cheers.
Now I have one of the new Raspberry Pi touch screen displays I need an on screen keyboard. I liked Onboard but it is designed for Gnome and I could not get it working on the pi. Matchbox does work to a certain extent but there is a bug that causes it to use 100% of the processor when running. This is not released when Matchbox is closed so you need to restart your pi or kill -KILL 'process no' from the terminal. The kill command does not always work probably because the processor is working so hard.You can find the process number using the top command.
Interestingly when using with a Pi 2 it only runs the processor at 25% so only hogging one core. Florence is another keyboard that at least installs and does not use 100% of your processor but dissapears when you type something and does not redirect the key to the application. So not much use. Anyone get a virtual keyboard working?
Now we have a proper Raspberry Pi Touchscreen it is a shame we can not actually use it. I am running Raspbian Jessie 2015-09-24. I am happy to provide any more info so that this bug can be sorted. I too have experienced the pcmanfm / matchbox logjam and so switched to xvkbd.
It seems functional but right now the only way I've been able to start it is by connecting a physical keyboard to run the start command. I know I can do a.sh file on the desktop and make it executable but I would much rather start it from the accessories menu like matchbox did. Can anyone point me to an idiot's guide to adding programs to the drop-down start menu? Alternatively, just tell me how to do it. --- I learn, I do, I forget.
