Yes, this is occurring in Unity. I haven't tried any of the other UI options to see if it does it there. I may have some disagreements with Unity and prefer Gnome 2 + Avant Window Navigator, but I like Unity a lot better than Gnome Shell, at least :p > > The "led is blinking" seems like it could be gnome-settings-daemon > getting "confused" or fighting with something else on keys status, I've > seen a bug report where it was setting numlock to off and on in loop > before > > you can try to run "gsettings list-recursively> log" twice and diff the > log files, or to attach gdb to gnome-settings-daemon to "pause" it and > see if that stops it I'll try those and see what I can get, thanks. > > not sure what you describe as "lock", is that the same issue? does it > happen in a gnome classic or guest session? seems like a compiz issue, > or maybe something flooding compiz (gnome-settings-daemon doing it?) > with events... Yes, it's all the same issue. When the white/orange blinking starts, the UI becomes completely non-responsive. Activity indicators (progress bar in Update Manager, etc.) all freeze until the episode passes, the mouse cursor will move, but I lose all control over the system. If I don't find anything, I'll do a reinstall once 12.04 final is out and see if it goes away, and also because I'm hoping to get fglrx installed through Jockey so I don't have to manually manage it. BTW, I'm running everything the system off of an encrypted LVM, just in case you might have heard of any weirdness surrounding that. My partition layout is /boot, / (encrypted LVM), swap (encrypted LVM), /home (encrypted LVM). These were set up at install time using the beta 2 AMD-64 alternate installer disc.

The settings it causes to be used are: syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R -t This only disables taps, which causes the cursor to run wldly around the screen while typing. "Not a problem!" you say? Try using focus follows mouse, especially with auto-raise, then come back and tell me that :-) The correct settings are: syndaemon -d -i 2.0 -K -R This completely disables the touchpad while typing, for two seconds. My workaround was to uncheck the box and add syndaemon, with my parms, to the Startup Applications. This is maybe not a blocker, but I think getting a bug fix out on this sooner rather than later would be good. Putting the workaround in the release notes might also be a good idea. It could save others the hours of research I've put in. 2 seconds also seems a bit long, I'm going to try 1.5 and 1.25 and see how that works out. Let me know if there's any other info you need or anything you'd like me to test. Thanks!
