![]() ![]() Changing the theme with this menu was a one way street though because upon changing the theme button dissapeared. The name of the mdm theme I normally use was not among the choices. None of the names were highlighted or marked uniquely in any way to indicate what the current theme was but selecting a different one did immediately change the appearance of the login screen. I found a theme button which brought a drop down menu of theme names. So I thought I'd look closely at all the buttons and menu entries and logos and such on the login screen that method gave me hoping it would say on there somewhere what the name of the theme was, so maybe I could edit it and change colors, fonts, etc. But that wouldn't change this godawful low contrast, tiny font theme that the changes made trying to get florence working cause to be substituted for the one I'd carefully tweaked to perfection. It's also conceivable there may be an option to the florence command that will keep it from stealing focus from the application I'm trying to type in, in this case the login manager. Well, that's inelegant and certainly not the way it is supposed to work, but I suppose I could live with that if it would behave that way without trashing my theme. The work around in this case is simply to move the pointer somewhere over the gray region containing the text entry box before clicking another key. The vkb is good for one character and then quits working, presumably because clicking any key on it takes focus away from the text entry box for username and password. In that case I get that same inferior login theme but I do get a florence vkb which is partially functional, similar to what I described above but a little simpler. It just causes the login screen to to use a different theme, an inferior low contrast, tiny font theme designed by some sadistic 15 year old farstard with supernaturally good eyesight.Īnd, the same stuff WITH the "florence &" line added to /etc/mdm/Init/Default. etc/X11/gdm/modules/AccessKeyMouseEvents usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libdwellmouselistener.so ![]() usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libkeymouselistener.so I've also tried this, without any modification of /etc/mdm/Init/Default : I know that's kind of vague, but it's the best I can do atm. I went through several rounds of that before I got an error message I couldn't figure a way to solve. I found whatever it was, also from Sourceforge I think, and installed it and next time it went a little further before ending with a different message. Installing it per instructions generated an error message that it was dependent on something else that wasn't installed. I failed to make notes on that and it may be worth another try. I also tried OnBoard, installing from the deb from sourceforge. After logging in a look at all the ttys shows something going on in tty2, which I suspect of being xvkb, but at any rate xvkb isn't visible. In the case of xvkb the virtual kb appears briefly just before the login screen and then dissapears and the login screen works normally. ![]() I would assume this is at least partially a focus issue. Then neither keyboard will cause anything to happen until I do the work-around with the sessions menu button again, after which the hardware keyboard works and the virtual will again work for one character, and so on. The virtual kb will work normally for one key entry. If I click the button to open the sessions menu and then the cancel button the hardware kb will work normally. Clicking inside the username text entry box does not change this. In the case of florence, when the login screen appears, no input from either the virtual or the hardware kb causes any response. rd#p486079 I have already tried adapting it and the equivalent file appears to be /etc/mdm/Init/Default and I have tried making this and several plausible variations with the next to the last line being either: But having seen the same suggestion you make here. There is no gdm in the Mate DE, as that is gnome thing. I should have mentioned what I've already tried. ![]()
