Need help with Kali on Raspberry PI 3 Model B with Touchscreen Virtual Keyboard

Greetings,

As the title tells you, I have Raspberry Pi 3 Model with a Raspberry Pi 7" Display Touchscreen.
The display as well as the Touchscreen are working properly. I have Florence Installed already.
Now the Question is how to invoke Florence Automatically on startup so that I could Log In using the On Screen Keyboard instead of a Physical Keyboard?
And how to make Florence shows up every time I work with an input control?

I've search the forum and google it without any success...

I Need Help!

Thanks & Regards

Hi Relianz,

edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf and add:

show-indicators=~language;~a11y;~session;~power
keyboard=florence --focus

That'll add an "On Screen Keyboard" entry to the indicator menu

Works like a charm

@re4son:

Greetings,

I have managed to make the Keyboard Shows up on the Login Screen by following your instruction.
But this is making me unable to login, every time I clicked log in after I entered my credentials using OSK it stuck at the login screen, never goes into the desktop.
Can you help?

Thank & Regards

Hey Relianz,

i think that Florence isn´t very good @ the Raspberry. Yesterday i bought a external Bluetooth Keyboard because i´ve some Problems with Florence on the original Raspian image. I tried also the Matchbox Keyboard but with this i´ve the same Problems. Think your Problem is that the Keyboard gives the false letter to the System.
I´ve the same configuration as you. Hope to have the time to install Kali this eve ( with my new external Keyboard ). Can you tell me what Version you downloaded that the original Pi7 Display works ? There is a Version with TFT (but not DSI i think ) and the normal one. Did you load the normal one? Is there any known issue with the onboard Bluetooth Connection or the onboard Wifi?

Thanks for reply and sorry that i used your Thread for my questions too ;-)

@Hotbird:

I downloaded "RaspberryPi 2/3 v2.1.2" from https://www.offensive-security.com/k...ux-arm-images/
Not the TFT ones. And there are no issues with either the bluetooth or the onboard wifi - The only problem is the onboard WIFI doesn't support Injection & Monitor.
I've managed to Install the original Pi7 with no problem using the instruction that i found in a YouTube video

Up till now I still haven't succeeded in making my Raspberry as a Touch Screen device as I still have to use my Portable Keyboard Device.

@Relianz,

Thanks for the answer. I´ve an portable Keyboard too. But it´s not work with the onboard Bluetooth and it doesn´t work with a bluetoothdongle... Is this also shown in the YouTube Video? If yes, could you send me the link over PN ?
