Somehow, I activated the on-screen keyboard (Onboard) in the unlock screen and I can't deactivate it now. I've restarted the computer, but it's still there in the unlock screen.
How can I deactivate the on-screen keyboard in the unlock screen?

GUI method
Search for Onboard settings from the gnome-shell overview.
Under General tab and Desktop integration heading, uncheck the option Show Onboard when unlocking the screen.
Command-line method
Thanks to fossfreedom's answer to a similar question
Run the following command in a terminal:
gsettings set apps.onboard xembed-onboard false
If the above is not working, try this one:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver embedded-keyboard-enabled false
worked for me (Ubuntu 12.04).

2Thanks. This is what I was looking for. I'm not sure how I activated these settings in the first place though. – apdnu Nov 30 '11 at 17:02

It's also happens to me, and I did a bug report. Please, go to this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/986843 and tick in the green text "is this bug affecting you?" to indicate that it also happens to you. Thank you =) – Carlos Soriano Sánchez Apr 22 '12 at 13:01

Note that this isn't specific to Gnome Shell. I was bitten by this bug in Unity. – Scott Severance May 02 '12 at 08:36

In the Dash, open Onboard Settings.
Unmark Show Onboard when unlocking the screen.
Done.
