[Solved] Virtual Keyboard - character pasted twice

Post#1 by Oli » 26 Sep 2018, 19:00

Hello,

Iam using Porteus Kiosk 4.7.0 with Chrome and the Addon Virtual Keyboard from xontab.com.
I added following prefs which will be loaded via the config (browser_preferences=)

Code: Select all

"ExtensionInstallWhitelist": [ "pflmllfnnabikmfkkaddkoolinlfninn",],
"ExtensionInstallForcelist": [ "pflmllfnnabikmfkkaddkoolinlfninn;https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx",],
"BookmarkBarEnabled": false,
It works all well, the Keyboard appears right after bootup.
But every key I press will be pasted twice in my login mask.
I have tried various things:

- Different settings in the Config like "Mouse cursor" / "Right mouse click"
- Different settings in the virtual keyboard addon itself

Also I added a Touchscreen Calibration via:

Code: Select all

touchscreen_calibration="eGalax Inc. USB TouchController Pen" "Calibration" -1 4129 12 4068
I figured out, that when I press a key really slow it works, but this can't be handled by other people.

Strumbling arround for 2 days now.

P.S.: Chrome is needed for the page I want to use it for.

Thank you so much for your help. I appreciate

Moved to kiosk section of the forum.

@Oli
Did you setup any keyboard layout different than english? I remember this extension had issues with printing localized characters ...

If not then I think a customized build with proprietary eGalax drivers could solve this problem. You may contact builds@porteus-kiosk.org and i would request to associate your kiosk with my PK Server so i could setup eGalax drivers for testing.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

Thank you very much for your quick response.
It looks like the “de”-Layout occurred the problem.

We investigate in some more tests but it looks good so far.

Thanks for your help!

I may be able to modify the German layout to fix this problem (German characters wont be hidden under other letters) so if you are interested then please contact with builds@porteus-kiosk.org.
