No touch KB after update(forky)

[biketool]

(snip)

i put some inaccurate info at this point.

probably phosh is switching from squeekboard into stevia. change probably confuses phosh somehow. package name is "phosh-osk-stevia", mobian package may have some differences with debian package.

OK so if I recall correctly I had removed stevia KB last year as it interfered with the great squeekboard terminal keyboard, installed stevia and am rebooting now...

Not working, I am reading my way through https://manpages.debian.org/testing/phos....1.en.html

tried:
In order to be used by Phosh as OSK, phosh-osk-stevia needs to be started from the /usr/share/applications/sm.puri.OSK0.desktop desktop file. On Debian systems this can be achieved by running

update-alternatives --config Phosh-OSK

as root and selecting the entry ending in sm.puri.Phosh.Stevia.desktop.
______________________________________________________________
For the keyboard to fold and unfold automatically make sure org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-im-module is set to the empty string (''). This is the default in most distributions. If unsure check via:

gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-im-module
____________________________________________________________
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled true
_______________________________________________________________
busctl call --user sm.puri.OSK0 /sm/puri/OSK0 sm.puri.OSK0 SetVisible b true
________________________________________________________________

none of these got me any kind of virtual keyboard; not stevia, not squeekboard......
______________________________________________________________
tried purge deleting stevia and squeekboard (be careful squeekboard reinstalls when uninstalling stevia as it is a dep for stevia)then installing squeekboard
_____________________________________________________________
still nothing......
____________________________________________________________
tried(now we only have squeekboard newly installed after and apt purge)
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-keyboard-enabled true
got back
(process:1987): dconf-WARNING **: xx:xx:xx:xxx: failed to commit changes to dconf: Cannot autolaunch D-Bus without X11 $DISPLAY
_________________________________________________________
in settings "Screen Keyboard" is toggled to ON
________________________________________________________
there is a mess where purge removing squeekboard ends up installing phosh-osk-stevia package and it's deps

I am going to have to leave my phone at home and go out with my nokia candybar, this will probably require reimaging back to my 2 week old pre trixie-->forky upgrade as I need a keyboard. This is where I really get angry about my PineKB being stolen and now you cant order them anymore!
