Xvkbd Problem

English Applications
1

Hi

I’m running openSUSE 11.1 on an HP TC1100 Tablet and every time I
logon, I’m presented with the Xvkbd virtual keyboard. I can’t seem to
close this under my account and if possible, would like to disable
completely as I don’t use anyway. How do I go about doing this?

Also, I have two shortcuts, “Online Help” and “openSUSE” which I cannot
delete from my desktop. Any advice on how to get rid of those?

:slight_smile:

If you’re using KDE 4, rightclick on the desktop (or whatever you need
to do on a tablet to bring up the context menu) and select Unlock
widgets.

Then rightclick the icon and select “Remove this icon” and lock the
widgets again again after you’re done.

Hi Axeia

Thanks for your reply :). I’m using Gnome but do have KDE4 installed
also. Should I be able to delete under Gnome or is this something that
has to be done under KDE4?

:slight_smile:

Edit: Under Gnome, “Move to Wastebucket” is greyed out.

Just logged onto KDE4 and I don’t have those shortcuts on the desktop.

Reagrding the virtual keyboard (xvkbd), I now have 4 of them loaded
(taking up the screen) and I can’t close any of them :(.

Double bump :wink: :wink:

Any ideas? Do other tablet users have this problem? (it’s really
annoying). I can kill these windows in Gnome using “Force Quit” but what
is the equivilent in KDE4?

My old Acer C301 did the same thing when I installed 11.1 Live CD. I
just went into the Yast>software, searched for the keyboard
program…dont remember what it was called, but you have it listed in
your post. Anyway, search for it and delete it…no more problem with
that annoying keyboard multiplying like the gremlins…
Take care,
Jeff
