Revert your theme to an "official" (Nokia NSeries, Digital Nature)

What did finally restore the functions was using dpkg to purge the mscim and scim configuration files. The configuration files remain even after you remove applications using the application manager. To see if you still have them, open a terminal and type

Code:
dpkg -l | grep -i scim
If the start of each returned entry has the letters rc, it means that configuration files still exist (if there are the letters ii, it means the applications are still installed, you should remove them first using the app manager, apt-get or dpkg)

If you have these configuration files,
Code:
dpkg --purge x
replacing x with scim or mscim or whatever (I purged libscim8c2a as well just to be thorough, even though just purgin mscim and scim solved the problem).

Reboot, and hopefully your virtual keyboard etc are restored.
the first code can't written by the physical keybord no sraight line

Open this page in the n900. Activate browser copy mode by swiping from outside the left side of the screen into the inside of the screen - an arrow icon should appear. Touch that icon, then drag to highlight the command text and press Ctrl-C on the physical keyboard to copy. Paste into xterm with the xterm top menu.

The dpkg --purge solution worked great for me.

sudo gainroot

This lets you get a root (superuser) shell. Install rootsh if you haven't already.

I lost my Virtual Keyboard after the recent update. I fixed it by following this from Nokia Support Discussions:

Download this file onto your N900:

http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/fixkbd.sh

save it into the documents folder

In an X term run this:

sudo gainroot
sh MyDocs/.documents/fixkbd.sh



Sudo gainroot might fail if you don't have rootsh installed.
