I know you mostly do Java, but if you are motivated C++/QML is actually a nice way to program and I am sure all LXQt denizens would welcome a fully functioning true synaptics config tool... otherwise it would be pretty easy to write a program that gets values and simply send them via the system() command. I am also sending this to the list in case anyone around is really interested in making something, and to have it in the mail archives if anyone ever is looking for it again :D The caveat is that this is Xorg specific... no idea how Wayland will/does handle this... though my experience with Wayland so far has been a bit underwhelming. Though... it may replace X eventually kinda like systemd did with the old init system. -- Regards -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
Re: [lubuntu-users] [lubuntu-devel] lubuntu 32-bit 18.10
Hi Walter, Doing my best to reduce the workload of the bug fixers... Yesterday I printed and studied the notes you recommended. There was a typo in the notes, however, it contained a link written as "How to Write Bugs Effectively". It should read "How to Report Bugs Effectively". As an on and off programmer, I have never needed a guide to introducing bugs :) This evening I downloaded and installed the 18.10 32-bit release of lubuntu via USB flash drive:- 38e0bf05b6bfc3faa700f779e94cc1b7 lubuntu-18.10-desktop-i386.iso *In a nutshell:* I don't think it is a calamares bug - from what I understand, calamares is the installer. The problem is something to do with window management. When a window is created, whatever is creating the window does not take into account that the taskbar takes up vertical pixels. The result is that you sometimes end up with some windows that have some of their contents hidden by the taskbar. *Hardware details:* Samsung NC10 Netbook, hostname: hawking Intel Atom N270, 1.66GHz, 32-bit, 2GiB RAM, 149.05 GiB hard drive, no optical drive, Ethernet and WiFi connections, lubuntu typically installed via USB flashdrive https://gist.github.com/21b61903871ee685fc79 Screen dimensions: 1024 x 600 pixels, 270 x 158mm Resolution: 96 x 96 dots per inch *Notes from this evening's install of 18.10* Installing from USB flash drive onto netbook. The "Welcome to the lubuntu installer" window's buttons - e.g. "Next" & "Cancel" are obscured by the taskbar. Maximising this window not only fixes the problem for this screen but for quite a few following screens (that is "Location","Keyboard", "Partitions","Partitioning"). When I chose to edit a partition, the resulting subwindow had to be maximised for me to see the "OK" and "Cancel" buttons which appeared to be obscured by the taskbar. *Conclusion* I don't know whether this is a window manager (openbox) issue or if it is a problem with the display manager (sddm). What do you think?

I personally have a FLTK based application that I use to fine-tune synaptic touchpad settings. open a terminal and type synclient This will list all your current settings if your touchpad is supported by the synaptic drivers. Then simply run synclient again when you find the setting you want with the name and value probably you want something like: synclient TapButton1=1 But, you can try each setting that you want to explore and it will instantly change your settings. You probably need to save these to a script to automatically be run each time you start your session. -- Regards Israel: Thank you for providing a work-around for the problem. Fortunately for me, the systems with the problem are only test-systems. Hopefully, this problem will be solved before I am to the point of considering migrating my production systems to Lubuntu 19.04. Though some people like command-line-interfaces, I hope this work-around isn't the permanent solution to the problem. -- Sincerely, Aere -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
