Maybe another approach, if you do not have any means at all to type anything: Could you please navigate with nautilus to the folder /usr/bin and check whether the following two files have their executable bit set?

The problem you describe seems to indicate that the executable bit on the onboard file is disabled. But I don't have any idea at the moment about how to enable the executable bit without typing anything. Even if you use the gui to remove and reinstall Onboard, the system requires you normally to enter an administrator password. (I don't know, whether it is possible to install Ubuntu in a way where the administrator does not have a password.)
