This issue seems to me like it could be related to this issue... > [@Vision Touchscreen Keyboard on Ubuntu 20.04](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/vision-touchscreen-keyboard-on-ubuntu-20-04/51661): > > So we’ve got an Edge Panel project using the Vision client and the Ubuntu OS keyboard looked like it was working well for things (with touchscreen mode disabled) until we got to the password field where the keyboard wouldn’t pop up. So we enabled touchscreen mode, and now we can use the OS keyboard for username and then when we get to the password they have to enable touchscreen mode, type in the password, press enter, then disable touchscreen mode.

I believe it is related to the touch interface and linux somehow. The extension mentioned in the link seems to fix the issue on Ubuntu by making Ubuntu think a keyboard is always plugged in, so it keeps the OSK disabled. You can then use Ignition's touch screen mode to enable the OSK through Ignition. It's only an issue when using the touch interface. Even with the touchscreen being used, it works fine as long as I use the keyboard and mouse. It's only when I use the touchscreen that the OSK has these issues. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-on-screen-keyboard-on-linux/50474)._
