Title:
gnome-settings-daemon input "hotplug-command" not working in 13.10
Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have always used this method in ubuntu to enable 3-finger tap on my
synaptics touchpad (and by the way, 3-finger tap works out of the box
in every non-ubuntu distro /rant):
create a file called touchpad_settings.sh.
chmod +x touchpad_settings.sh
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.input-devices
hotplug-command "/home/brandon/touchpad_settings.sh"
This way 3 finger tap is working and gnome always respects the setting
and doesn't reset it on suspend/resume. This worked perfectly in
12.04, 12.10, and 13.04. In 13.10 it just does not work. I double
checked, made sure I had the right path to the file, and that the file
was executable. If I manually execute touchpad_settings.sh it works,
but when I boot my computer it just does not seem to run the hotplug
command, and if I manually run the script and then suspend/resume,
gnome disables the 3 finger tap upon resume, again not respecting the
hotplug-command.
This is a big issue, this is the only way to get 3 finger tap working
on a touchpad in ubuntu.
