Libra Can't input my WiFi password on the keyboard

iNVerter · 12-07-2019, 08:35 PM

Hi all,

I have a long and complicated WiFi password at home and it seems Libra's keyboard lacks at least the symbols { and }.

No way to connect to my Wifi.

Of course, I can change the password, but it means all other devices need to get it. Another problem.

I've tried to sideload a txt file with the password, but no copy/paste... of course.

My router doesn't have a guest network feature, so I tethered to my phone to update the firmware. Of course, I can do it again in a few weeks/months, but I would like to find a solution. I've skimmed some threads about Kobo's hacks and mods, but no mention about the possibility to edit /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections or whatever other location.

Any ideas ? Thanks.

If you long press on a lot of characters in the keyboard, extra characters pop up. In this case, the "{" and "}" characters are available on the matching "[", "(", "]" and ")" characters.
