Ok, I learnt a little about bash for this, so don't be cruel. I created a little script that allows to switch the enable/disable state of the touchpad. I hope it helps someone. Once you download it, open a terminal and run (in the folder you downloaded it):
chmod 755 altouchpad 7 to let the owner execute, read and write 5 to let the group execute and read 5 to let everyone else to execute and read then copy it to /usr/bin : sudo cp altouchpad /usr/bin/ ** Attachment added: "bash script to switch the enable/disable state of touchpad" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37263458/altouchpad -- does not disable touchpad in vaio vgn-n330fh karmic i386 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501181 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
