Have you tried Onboard?
sudo apt-get install onboard
I haven't finished compiling the img yet, so I haven't tried it.
Onboard fails to start and florence crashes when you press any key on it.

The only one I have been able to get to work just from repos is xvkbd.

this is the output for florence:

I don't know about florence but for onboard  install 
Code:
sudo apt-get install gir1.2-atspi-2.0

Then go to onboard settings and in the general uncheck Auto-show when editing text . In keyboard uncheck enabled  under typing assistance. Onboard should start.

You also need to install at-spi2-core if you don't have that already.

gir1.2-atspi-2.0 fixed issues with onboard
at-spi2-core fixed the issues with florence

I also noticed the brightnes on the lcd is lacking but can be turned up with the gpio pin. I just run a small scrip that sets the required pin to high and then sets it to low when it detects xscreensaver running.

Which GPIO controls the brightness? Would you mind sharing your script?

this code is dirty but just checks the state of xscreensaver and writes to the pin. there are better ways but this works. needs root

doesnt actually turn off the lcd though. just dulls it.

Code:
echo 362 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/direction

while true; do
 case "`xscreensaver-command -time | egrep -o ' blanked|non-blanked|locked'`" in
   " blanked")     echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
   "non-blanked")  echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio362/value ;;
 esac
 sleep 5
done

That works! (I just manually ran the 2 echo commands). I had no idea it could get so bright. Thanks!

Is there an image available for down-load anywhere ? My old hardware can't really run Ubuntu 16.04 64bit in a VM and it is only 2 core.

The script runs OK but hangs during kernel compilation.

You can download UbuntuDebianopenSUSE or Fedora (if you are OK with not using a GUI).

Compilation finished (after 325 minutes) on the fourth attempt. The resulting .img file however does not boot. I used the script on the Armbian page, left it at default except for BOARD="pine64" and KERNEL_ONLY="no"

Any hints or tips for a comparative newbie ?

I assumed that the only reason a quad core VM was specified was to cut down on processing time.
