I can get onboard to show at login but it does not work. It would be really nice if it did because I am using a tablet PC. Does anyone else have this problem and solved it?
Hi clay,
try installing “kmag” and use that if it works!. 
sudo apt-get install kmagThank you, I’ll try that.
I’m afraid that didn’t work.
Hi Clay,
my bad sorry, when I typed "kmag" I was thinking about screenreaders and not keyboards!.
Try installing "gok":
Onboard is pre-installed and can be set to auto start in System - Preferences - Accessibility, or some like that 
I think “sudo apt-get install kmag” command screwed up my curser. Onboard is installed and works after login. Onboard also opens on the login screen but does not function. I can click on the keys but they do not fill in my password.
Press Ctrl + Alt + t (terminal) and use the following command to rid yourself of “kmag”!:
sudo apt-get remove kmag
