Sb, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and- netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t530 an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.64). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-2.64 ** Summary changed: - "Disable while typing" doesn't work + [Lenovo ThinkPad T530] "Disable while typing" doesn't work ** Description changed: - Hello, - - I run Ubuntu 15.04 on a newish Lenovo Thinkpad T440s. It has the new - large, solid trackpad that is clickable anywhere, with no defined - buttons. It is easily bumped while typing, creating an almost unusable - experience. There is an option in the Ubuntu Unity system mouse/trackpad - settings to "Disable while typing", which would solve the problem. - However, this does not work. I confirm that there is absolutely no delay - between typing and trackpad activation; in fact I can even move the - trackpad while holding a key down. + On my Lenovo Thinkpad T530 there is an option in the Ubuntu Unity system + mouse/trackpad settings to "Disable while typing" which does not work. I + confirm that there is absolutely no delay between typing and trackpad + activation; in fact I can even move the trackpad while holding a key + down. A reported workaround is to run: syndaemon -i 0.8 -d - But this should not be necessary to make users run hacks like this, as it makes Ubuntu look unprofessional. The Ubuntu system settings option should do what is claims. - Thanks for looking into this. - --- + --- ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: - USER PID ACCESS COMMAND - /dev/snd/controlC0: sully 1514 F.... pulseaudio + USER PID ACCESS COMMAND + /dev/snd/controlC0: sully 1514 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-03-29 (110 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" - Beta amd64 (20150326) MachineType: LENOVO 2359CTO Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.19.0-22-generic root=UUID=2fb23a24-4346-48f5-b070-45e81f6ee5cb ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-22.22-generic 3.19.8-ckt1 RelatedPackageVersions: - linux-restricted-modules-3.19.0-22-generic N/A - linux-backports-modules-3.19.0-22-generic N/A - linux-firmware 1.143.1 + linux-restricted-modules-3.19.0-22-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.19.0-22-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.143.1 Tags: vivid UdevLog: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/log/udev' Uname: Linux 3.19.0-22-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 02/01/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: G4ET92WW (2.52 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 2359CTO dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Win8 STD DPK TPG dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrG4ET92WW(2.52):bd02/01/2013:svnLENOVO:pn2359CTO:pvrThinkPadT530:rvnLENOVO:rn2359CTO:rvrWin8STDDPKTPG:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 2359CTO dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T530 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1471804 Title: [Lenovo ThinkPad T530] "Disable while typing" doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1471804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
