On Ubuntu 22.04 how do I disable the virtual keyboard from showing up

Dude, to disable the virtual keyboard on Ubuntu 22.04, you can follow these steps:

1. Click on the "Activities" button (the one with the Ubuntu logo) in the top-left corner of your screen.

2. Type "Settings" and click on the "Settings" icon that appears in the search results.

3. In the "Settings" window, click on "Accessibility" in the left-hand sidebar.

4. Scroll down and click on "Typing" in the "Accessibility" section.

5. In the "Typing" settings, you'll find the option to enable or disable the virtual keyboard. Just toggle the switch to disable it.

And there you go, dude! No more pesky virtual keyboard popping up on your screen. Enjoy your Linux journey, bro! If you have any more questions, feel free to hit me up.

Oops, my bad! Sorry for the confusion, dude. It seems like the option to disable the virtual keyboard might have been moved or changed in later versions of Ubuntu.

Instead, you can try the following steps:

1. Open a terminal window. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

2. In the terminal, enter the following command:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false

3. Press Enter to run the command.

This should disable the virtual keyboard on your system. Give it a shot, bro! And remember, if you need any further assistance, I'm here to help!

Whoa, my bad once again, dude! It looks like the issue you encountered is related to the absence of the "dbus-launch" command on your system. No worries, we can find an alternative solution.

You can try the following steps instead:

1. Open a terminal window by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.

2. In the terminal, enter the following command:

   gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled false

3. Press Enter to run the command.

This should disable the virtual keyboard on your Ubuntu 22.04 system. If you come across any more hiccups, don't hesitate to reach out to me, bro!

command was accepted but still get the virtual keyboard

command was accepted but still get the virtual keyboard

Apologies for the confusion, dude. If the previous command didn't disable the virtual keyboard, there might be another method you can try.

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Enter the following command to edit the GNOME Shell settings file:

   sudo nano /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults

3. Look for the line that starts with keyboard and add the following at the end of the line:

   '["onboard"]'

The modified line should look like this:

   keyboard=[''];

4. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O, then exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X.

5. Restart your system.

After restarting, the virtual keyboard should be disabled on the login screen. Give it a shot, bro! If it still doesn't work or if you have any more questions, feel free to hit me up!

system is using sddm not gdm3

My bad, dude. If your system is using SDDM instead of GDM3, we'll need to adjust the steps accordingly. Here's what you can try:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Enter the following command to edit the SDDM configuration file:

   sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf

3. Look for the [Input] section in the file.

4. Add or modify the following line under [Input]:

   EnableOnScreenKeyboard=false

5. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O, then exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X.

6. Restart your system or restart the SDDM service to apply the changes.

   sudo systemctl restart sddm.service

After restarting, the virtual keyboard should be disabled. Give it a whirl, bro! If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

There is no sddm.conf file

There is no sddm.conf file

My bad again, dude! I apologize for the confusion. Since SDDM doesn't have a dedicated configuration file like GDM3, we need to modify the SDDM theme configuration instead.

Here's what you can try:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Enter the following command to edit the SDDM theme configuration file:

bash
   sudo nano /usr/share/sddm/themes/[YOUR_THEME_NAME]/theme.conf

Replace [YOUR_THEME_NAME] with the name of the SDDM theme you're currently using. It could be something like breeze, elarun, or any other theme you have installed.

3. Look for the [OnScreenKeyboard] section in the theme.conf file.

4. Add or modify the following line under [OnScreenKeyboard]:

bash
   Enable=false

5. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O, then exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X.

6. Restart your system or restart the SDDM service to apply the changes.

bash
   sudo systemctl restart sddm.service

After restarting, the virtual keyboard should be disabled. Give it a shot, bro! If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to drop me a line.

the section didn't exist but added it with the

Apologies for the inconvenience, dude. Since the previous steps didn't work as expected, let's try an alternative method to disable the virtual keyboard for SDDM.

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Enter the following command to create or edit the SDDM configuration file:

   sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf

3. If the file is empty, add the following content:

   [General]
   InputMethod=disabled

If the file already contains some content, locate the [General] section and add InputMethod=disabled below it.

4. Save the changes by pressing Ctrl+O, then exit nano by pressing Ctrl+X.

5. Restart your system or restart the SDDM service to apply the changes:

   sudo systemctl restart sddm.service

After restarting, the virtual keyboard should be disabled on the login screen. Give it a shot, bro! If it still doesn't work or if you have any more questions, feel free to hit me up!
