dmesg shows:

No problems running onboard-settings
Checked onboard with default settings, and everything disabled

I expected it to run without crashing.

Instead, it crashed.

Ubuntu-desktop 24.04 on gnome @ 6/5/2024

I tested this by installing onboard and it launches correctly at my side

but i noticed a lot of syntax warnings during the install of onboard

Had same issue, I followed jdkatz23's second blog post (thanks!), where I found this solution that worked for me (Kubuntu 24.02 as well). I entered onboard-settings (from Konsole) and went to Keyboard -> Advanced -> Input options and set Input Event Source to GTK

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Leonardo Müller (leozinho29-eu)]

I'm having the same crash on Xubuntu 24.04. Changing the Input Event Source to GTK workaround has solved the issue to me too.
