xachab / ipakeyboard Goto Github PK

Should be ɻ j ɰ but instead ʋ ɹ ɻ

Hello there,

I hope you still answer my newbie-like question. I tried to install your programme, but I didn't manage to get it working.
What I did (not sure about the terms though):

• downloaded the repository via git clone https://github.com/XaraB/IPAKeyboard.git
• copied the two folders as said in the readme (I had to create the folder "onboard")
• ran the command "onboard", but it didn't found the command.

My assumption is that I lack a programme called "onboard", but I couldn't find it anywhere (neither in the official debian packages nor on github).

If you could help me with this one, I would really appreciate it, as I find your programme quite useful, especially as you arranged the symbols according to their place of production.
Best,
undermaster

After inputting one syllable, the keyboard always returns to vowels, which is inconvenient for users. Please make it stay where users already choose.

The first click to choose one syllable does not work.

Getting the following error:

(onboard:2747728): Gdk-ERROR **: 10:21:59.689: The program 'onboard' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 3983 error_code 2 request_code 135 (XKEYBOARD) minor_code 9)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Trace/breakpoint trap

When I launch the keyboard it looks as expected (I've configured it slightly w/ re to background transparency):

Each of these keys appear to work fine.

The i and y keys work, but the next key over (close + central) crashes the program with the above error. The pattern appears to be any 'standard' letters (i.e. ones that I find on my English Keyboard) seem to work, but any of the IPA special characters cause the above error.

I can go to the other screens (C1, C2, etc.). They look a little different (although this is just cosmetic as far as I can tell):

I didn't have a font selected in the settings, so I thought maybe it was that I didn't have an appropriate font. I've tried several which all show the symbols in the font so I don't think this is the reason. Here are some possibly relevant screen shots of the settings:

Happy to grab anything else if needed. Any insight/help is appreciated!

Misc. Info
My system is Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS. I'm using whatever the default GUI is for the system.
Onboard is version 1.4.1-5build5

I have launched a fork v1.4.2 https://github.com/dr-ni/onboard.git since the launchpad repo seems to be dead.
If you are a developer and want to help to solve old and new problems you are very welcome to join it. We should resuscitate it again...

The opened vowels in front, central and back are wrongly arranged.
