onboard middle click simulator doesn't work as in prvious versions such as 0.93

True, Onboard 0.93 allowed for dragging with right and middle buttons. Unfortunately, the ctypes code used for that caused enough grief that we had to drop it. The button remapping was replaced with a more robust C-based solution, but from then on we could only do one-shot clicks on button down. I'd like to try, but I'm not sure we can change this.

Thank you for clarification. I managed to replace 0.9 with 0.93. I can bare with theme. I ll use it till you correct it.

Kenn, the old click behavior has returned, dragging with middle and right click should be possible again. There is still a risk of 0.93 style trouble, in particular buttons getting permanently stuck remapped, but I believe it is less likely to happen this time. Also no ctypes involved.

I've asked Francesco to prepare a package in our snapshot PPA. He'll let you know when it's ready.

The package is available in our Snapshots PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~onboard/+archive/snapshots

Marmuta, thank you very much for your efforts. You managed to fix it. Unfortunately I haven't tested it yet. I added the repo but i can not install it, I think it's related to repo or my software updater. I hope it runs as in 0.93.

I tried to install it manually. At first I removed onboard and I installed some dependencies, python3.2, python3.2-minimal, libdconf0.
But it gives me foolowin error that I can not solve :The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 onboard : Depends: python3 (< 3.3) but 3.3.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
I have already python3 installed.

What distribution is this?
cat /etc/issue

I'm not 100% sure, but If you are on Ubuntu 13.04 or later, I would remove python3.2 and friends and let apt install onboard's dependencies. This will probably install python3.3. Onboard itself only requires >=python3.2, though.
sudo apt-get remove python3.2, python3.2-minimal, ...
sudo apt-get install onboard

Besides, we'll need to prepare a new snapshot for you. There have been changes due to Bug #1210575 that resulted in yet another new click strategy. The previous one I described above is still there, but only as a fall-back. The behavior should still be the same, though, right/middle dragging works here in either case.

I uploaded revision 1559 of trunk to our Snapshots PPA. It should be available as soon as launchpad has finished building it.

libdconf0: it seems that kenn is running precise; quantal and later are using libdconf1. Anyway, the Snapshots PPA now has a builds for precise, quantal, raring and saucy.

I use "Zorin OS 7 \n \l", it's based on ubuntu 13.04 32 bit. I just connected to the net, I ll try it again and inform you soon

I downloaded source packege and run sudo ./setup.py install, it gives me "To build Onboard you need https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra" I already installed that package

Make sure you have the python 3 version installed
sudo apt-get install python3-distutils-extra

Also, if you can, better build and install the debian packages. If you want/have to build from source, get it from our bazaar repository to catch all the latest fixes.

Install (most) build dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep onboard

If this fails on Zorin OS you'll have to install them manually. The required packages are listed in debian/control.

Then get the source, build packages and install them:
bzr branch lp:onboard
cd onboard
debuild binary
sudo dpkg -i ../onboard*.deb

"sudo apt-get build-dep onboard" did the trick. I followed Marmuta's guide and installed onboard. It works without glitch, I didn't notice any misbehavior for the time being.
Thank you very much Marmuta and Fumanti. We have a fully functional and exceptional on screen keyboard.
Thank you.
