[SOLVED] Suggestion: On-Screen Keyboard For Ubuntu MATE Installation

Development Discussion

Suggestion: Can you add an on-screen keyboard to installation setup? This feature is available in installed operating system. I think it’s a good idea to do it either in installation. Definitely, may help someone who doesn’t have an access to a USB keyboard or something else…

Goto Applications, Systems tools, Mate terminal. (or use terminal from startup) then type;

sudo apt-get install matchbox-keyboard

reboot the pi and then under Applications, Accessories you should find a keyboard!
