Adding On screen keyboard to FullPageOS

Open Linkek opened this issue 2 years ago • 9 comments

I would like to ask you @guysoft if you want me to add my project keyboardTriggerServer to FullPageOS. Maybe we can make it an optional thing on first "boot"?

I'm not sure how that will be done.

Maybe we could talk about that somewhere? Discord?

Hey @Linkek First thanks for putting the effort in making FullPageOS better! It warms my heart each time I see people building on top of it.

At the very basic I think we could ship a script that you run and does all the install steps. I saw though there is a manual step in the install process to set the browser in to developer mode and install the extension manually. I am not sure how you can install an extension automatically on chromium. If you can figure out how to have a script that installs it I'd gladly ship it.

Also if you have any other suggestions would be happy to hear. Keep in mind that I rather not ship nodejs and npm for every installation since most people are not likely to use it.

@Linkek I have been trying to get this to work to no avail. posted an Issue. Would love to talk to you about it! @guysoft I know it has been around a long time, but cant thank you enough for FullPageOS! I do have 2 things I need to figure out.

  1. I need a popup keyborad to input user names and passwords
  2. I need the OS to ask for WIFI SSID when expected one is not available. I am not a coder AT ALL but have been muddling through it. If ya have any advise, it would be greatly appreciated!! Cheers!

Hey @ShaunThrives

  1. There are a few projects. take a look at what @Linkek , its special for FullPageOS. There is also a report of another method here https://github.com/guysoft/FullPageOS/issues/489#issuecomment-1999987576 . I have not tried neither of them so I don't know what is better.
  2. The question is "how would it ask for an SSID?" FullPageOS is used without a keyboard in most installs, and you can't expect a user to input an SSID. Moreover some installations would consider it a security issue and try to disable any kind of keyboard at all. There might be solutions, but you would need a coder, or find a coder to do them for you (for example you could write your own systemd service, or web ui that talks to NetworkManager).
