Description mlt 2017-02-11 17:10:38 UTC

when the virtual keyboard is activated it shows on the lock screen but takes no input.

The non-virtual keyboard works but the password entry window is obscured

Are you using Wayland?

Comment 2 mlt 2017-02-12 11:17:00 UTC

yes I am.

Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-03-19 12:48:16 UTC

We now have built-in virtual keyboard support in the lock screen on both X11 and Wayland.
