According to the announcement at https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3-staging/ the GNOME3 Staging PPA is no longer supported for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. If you have the PPA enabled on that release, please ppa-purge. Then you can optionally remain on 16.04 LTS or upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version if you want newer GNOME versions.
Ubuntu GNOME itself does not have this bug. For the remaining issue of GNOME touchpad settings not working correctly when xserver-xorg-input-synaptics is installed on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10+, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1686081 Due to the nature of that bug, I don't think it will be possible to fix that in current Ubuntu stable releases. ** No longer affects: mutter (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586657 Title: Touchpad gsettings being ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gsettings-desktop-schemas/+bug/1586657/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
