    Unable to use virtual keyboard on login (SDDM welcome screen)

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded from 24.04 to 24.10 and when I tap the "virtual keyboard" on my touch screen, the UI shifts up like it's trying to make room for a keyboard, but none is shown.
    I almost always use x-11 sessions, and I have Onboard installed, but I don't know what virtual keyboard was used by SDDM in 24.04 and before (always worked)...
    I tried installing maliit-keyboard with dependencies, but that would completely hang up Plasma 6 x-11 session (unable to log in), and I had to uninstall it in Wayland session.

    What virtual keyboard would you advise, that's a part of official repos?
    Onboard is OK but it won't come up automatically for text input, despite me configuring it as such. And there are some shortcuts that I don't know how to execute, especially those that involve F1, F2 etc.

    [edit] I also installed qtvirtualkeyboard-plugin but I could not get it to work with SDDM out of the box in 24.10. It seems to be the virtual keyboard that was well integrated in Plasma 5.x

    Thank you!
