[Ac100] [Bug 1035208] Re: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work)
OS: Kubuntu 12.04 HW: clevo p150em notebook - don't know the touchpad manufacturer I have exactly the same problem with my clevo p150em notebook. (no movement, scrolling still possible) It's quite frustrating. It happened several time while I was watching youtube videos, but the reason for this could be that I did spend a lot of time on youtube... I have synaptiks enabled (the tool to control the touchpad). I enabled the disable touchpad for 1sec after button pressed option and the disable touchpad when mouse is present. I don't know how to force this bug. Maybe some dev has to work for 1-2h without a mouse, maybe then the bug will occure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AC100 Team, which is subscribed to AC100_enablement. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035208 Title: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work) Status in Enablement project for the Toshiba AC100 NetBook: New Status in XOrg-Driver-Synaptics - synaptics driver for XOrg: New Status in xf86-input-synaptics: New Status in “linux-ac100” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Sometimes, in my Ubuntu 12.04 system on Toshiba AC100 (ARM), the touchpad doesn't react to movements anymore: i.e., I move the finger, but the pointer doesn't move (it is even being hidden because there are no movements).

@Ivan, the nvec message look normal. Btw, you can get rid of the page allocation failure message by increasing the min_free_kbytes in /proc/something, but this is neither critical nor tp related.

[Ac100] [Bug 1035208] Re: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work)
It just happened right now. I've saved dmesg output and the X's log. (Attaching them.) There are no nvec messages in dmesg. But there are two ec messages. Are they important? I've checked once again the behavior of the touchpad when this happens: movements don't work, but scrolling doe work (at the right side of the pad with a single finger), clicking does work (by hitting the pad, or with the buttons underneath -- both work). I tried to press F9: this turned the tocuhpad competely off. Then I pressed F9 once again: and this resulted in the same errpneous situation: movements don't work, other things do work (scrolling, hitting). So it's not a matter of F9. And it's not matter of complete disconnection. Please tell me: What to do further to diagnose the source of the error? ** Attachment added: dmesg (when this happened once again) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ac100/+bug/1035208/+attachment/3264709/+files/dmesg2.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of AC100 Team, which is subscribed to AC100_enablement. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1035208 Title: touchpad stops working (moving the pointer doesn't work) Status in Enablement project for the Toshiba AC100 NetBook: New Status in XOrg-Driver-Synaptics - synaptics driver for XOrg: New Status in xf86-input-synaptics: New Status in “linux-ac100” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Sometimes, in my Ubuntu 12.04 system on Toshiba AC100 (ARM), the touchpad doesn't react to movements anymore: i.e., I move the finger, but the pointer doesn't move (it is even being hidden because there are no movements).
