Just to be sure I re-installed this morning from the daily live image. I noticed that at the end of the installation process the CD gets ejected when you confirm you want to reboot but then the reboot hangs. I tried ctrl-alt-backspace as well as ctrl-alt-del but had to hard reset in the end by holding the power button for 5 seconds.
After this the system starts up without apparent issues. However, my synaptics touchpad still doesn't allow me to scroll or drag-and-drop. If I want to run qsynaptics to configure my touchpad I need to enable it in xorg.conf. When I create xorg.conf which is missing initially after installation (see my first comment) it seems rather short and doesn't contain a Touchpad section where I could insert >>Option "SHMConfig" "on"<<, which is required for qsynaptics to run. I also found another thread of a bug that is about missing functionality of touchpads: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/173411 Maybe my issue falls under this bug rather than the hanging during re- boot from installation and missing xorg.conf? Either way, my touchpad doesn't work and I really really need it. ;] -- no xorg.conf created on install of hardy alpha https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173814 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
