On screen keyboard won't show up!
 

For some reason my 770 running 2007he stopped displaying the keyboard when I'm in text fields. Pressing the hardware 'enter' button doesn't cycle through the regular and large on-screen keyboards anymore either; it just produces a carriage return.

How do I get it back?

I need to fix it ASAP because I'm leaving the country tomorrow morning and really need to get it working again before then!
Thanks in advance

Bump? My 770 WSODd while I was in Prague, right when I really needed it... so I've been out of commission for a while. I got my replacement from Nokia and reinstalled the boot menu to boot off of my MMC.

So now I'm still stuck with the problem:
The on screen keyboard won't display.
I do have a USB keyboard but can't use it all the time. I am a linux noob but am a programmer, so if you can give me some debugging tips I can certainly follow them.

Thanks

With an app open, try pushing the Dpad button (the button in the middle of the directional pad.)

Actually, last night after a reboot, it spontaneously started working again.
Prior to that, though, the center dpad button didn't work either.
Next time it happens I'll putty into it and do a dmesg. I'd forgotten that command until now. Maybe the output will show something useful.

One thing I did during my last session on the 770 was to uninstall the GPE calendar and contacts. Running apt-get -f install showed that they had some missing dependencies and subsequently failed, so I decided to just uninstall them. I suppose it's possible that they were causing a problem, but who knows.

There's no sense in speculating now, but if it happens again, I'll be sure to post a dump of dmesg and/or let you know how I resolve it.
