Philippe Ombredanne, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-bug-exists-upstream. Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: latest-bios-a15 ** Attachment removed: "version.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1480615/+attachment/4437563/+files/version.log ** Attachment removed: "lspci-vnvn.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1480615/+attachment/4437562/+files/lspci-vnvn.log ** Attachment removed: "ProcEnviron.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1480615/+attachment/4437561/+files/ProcEnviron.txt ** Attachment removed: "Dependencies.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1480615/+attachment/4437560/+files/Dependencies.txt ** Description changed: - I am using the very latest BIOS A15, with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and the - latest kernel for this is 3.16.0-45-generic #60~14.04.1-Ubuntu - - This is a kernel that has these recent ALPS related patches : + This is a kernel that has these recent ALPS related patches: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1258837 So after a reboot the touchpad and button work fine, at start. - After a while the buttons, a single tap click , a double tap-click and + After a while the buttons, a single tap click, a double tap-click and the dual finger scrolling stop working on the correct front-most window and work instead on a background window.
