Public bug reported: I'm running Kubuntu 12.04.1. When I first start a session, I can (and do) deactivate the touchpad with Fn-F6 on my Lenovo laptop. But later on, something -- I don't know what -- reactivates the touchpad and I can't shut it off using normal means. At the same time the Systems Settings section for the touchpad changes and no longer offers the option of shutting off the touchpad if the mouse is active.
Fortunately I seem to be able (so far) to deactivate the touchpad with this: xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0 but that shouldn't be necessary. I have version 1.6.2-1ubuntu1~precise2 of server-xorg-input-synaptics. But I'm not sure that's the program responsible for the problem. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Package changed: update-manager-core (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-input- synaptics (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081185 Title: Touchpad can't be deactivated after a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1081185/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
