When I try to search anything in XBMC the onscreen keyboard has not letters. Only empty boxes.
I tried rebooting but for nothing.
Thanks for your help.

Official23, try linking to a debug log so we can see what OS, XBMC version and skin you use.
Screenshots wouldn't hurt either.
The mantra is: if you provide no info, you will get no answers

Go to system/settings/appearance/international. Choose a keyboard layout (eg:english qwerty).
By default there is no keyboard selected

Yes that will fix it Its also been fixed in nightlies (partially) only happen now if by any chance either a user selects no layout or when you select some language other than English and the layouts aren't automatically populated with the one from your language...

I have this problem in Helix and it's the one that released just the other day. No letters on the keys, typing on my external doesn't work and to top it all off - I can't close it without exiting Kodi.Selecting a layout in the options doesn't change anything. Could this be a skin issue?
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a Asus EEE Box, nVIDIA ION, Intel Atom and the skin used is reFocus. The keyboard, not that it matters, is a Logitech K400.

Well if it is a skin issue, you can answer your own question by reverting to default skin and testing. I bet you will find the answer is a very likely yes.

Refocus hasn't been updated for Helix yet. There is a helix mod in the refocus forum that you can manually install in the meantime if you'd like.
