First-Start: Logon-Screen - No Keyboard Input

Hi!
Maybe a Bug…
It is not possible for me to type in E-Mail and Password.
My System configuration as follows:

Desktop Environment: LXDE

lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:    Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 15.04
Release:    15.04
Codename:    vivid

uname -a

Linux Entertain 3.19.0-26-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 11 14:16:32 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I’m still testing …

No Chance for me with LXDE. With Unity it works. (Ubuntu’s Default Desktop Environment)
Under Unity I had to type in my E-Mail and Password UNTIL the progressbar is at 100%.

I can also confirm some issues with not having keyboard input in some fields in Unity DE when I have alt-tabbed out of and back into the Unity editor while such a text box was active.

The type of textbox I mean is the one for login and project creation.

I had no problems with email and password, but project name field is not taking input when creating new project.

openbox as WM.

Similar situation here. Could enter login credentials fine, though pasting passwords from a password manager does not work. All other text input following didn’t work until restarting Unity.

I’m also having this problem on Arch with Cinnamon.

Same here, I could enter login information, but could not type the project name. The project was created fine.
But…
Fn buttons (F2 to rename, for example) and some other keyboard keys does not work.

I’ve seen CEF (embedded web views) be touchy about keyboard focus - I haven’t seen it affect keyboard input in Unity itself before, but maybe it’s related to WM, or maybe I haven’t performed the wrong sequence of events yet. We’ll investigate.

Ubuntu 15.04:
1st startup - hangs at “Connecting”
2nd startup - no keyboard input at logon
3rd startup - no keyboard input at project name/location
4th startup - everything works fine

Restarting Unity would get me one step further in the process each time. Now it seems to work fine.

Had a similar problem - no keyboard input at project name/location, but worked after restart

Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
Linux slik-computer 3.13.0-49-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 20:11:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Keyboard focus works otherwise but I couldn’t get the initial survey to accept any keyboard input.

Ubuntu 15.04
Linux superstation 3.19.0-26-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 11 14:16:32 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I had the same imposibility to type user/pass, and likewise a couple of restarts fixed that. Now I am stuck at the survey, I cannot scroll down and hence not advance any further. I am running this on ubuntu 14.04 with openbox as the windowmanager.

Login with unity than it should work. If Unity3d starts without problems you can switch back to your favourite window manager as I did (LXDE).

About login page on LXDE, if you click anywhere - you won’t be able to type. Even if you click inside the input field.

So if you want to login don’t click anywhere, type your username, press TAB to go to the password field and type your password.

using Lubuntu Desktop
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
3.13.0-67-generic x86_64

I had the same problem. Using only keyboard (use TAB to switch to password field) helped.

I have this with the search box in the asset store, too. I find if I switch foucs to another program and back using focus-follows-pointer it starts working every time.

YMMV

Not able to type in login screen.

No methods mentioned above helped:

  • Multiple restarts of operating system

  • Multiple restarts of Unity editor

  • no clicking in window, just tab-ing (nothing changes)

  • focus-follows-pointer trick (losing edit box focus when window is focused again)

I’m having trouble with input in unity on ubuntu 15.10, multiple restart have not been able to login so far. Copy-paste does not work ither.

same can’t log in Linux Mint MATE 17.2 ubuntu based

Same on arch/x86_64 on Intel HD, fields get focused but no input nor paste is working.
