[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled
FYI: got a better experience in gnome when opening a terminal and running syndaemon -d in gnome. However, that seem to freeze the mouse slightly too long after I have stopped typing. The unity version works better (not sure what differs yet). https://askubuntu.com/questions/505007/ubuntu-gnome-14-04-disable- touchpad-while-typing-not-working -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled
Hi, the synaptics (libinput also installed) package work well for me in 16.04 (and previous version to 12.04 at least) up to 17.04 on thinkpads (x2XX to carbon X1). Currently using carbon x1 5th gen. There is however some form of instability with settings that affects many users including me. Sometimes the disable while typing feature stops working and reinstall of libinput and synaptics drivers help. I.e, reinstall xserver-xorg- input-synaptics and -libinput as well as running: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Touchpad_not_working_after_login However, what perplexes me is that the gnome desktop (gnome default) does not work with synaptics disable while typing when it clearly works in unity at the same time. I'm testing gnome before 18.04 and login in/out between both desktops, with the exact same settings (gconf, drivers etc). Currently I'm writing this in gnome and the cursor skips with random artefacts that make the keyboard defunct. In unity it works perfectly (two finger scroll, trackpoint etc works).

If you search the web on this topic you will find that hundreds of people have been perplexed by this behaviour for over a decade, patches have been supplied upstream, and yet the problem persists: There is no control evident which allows one to select the widely desired behaviour, i.e. to prevent unwanted pointer inputs while typing. A more aggressive approach to resolving such a wide spread and severe usability issue seems warranted, and the question suggests itself: If not here, then where? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Hmm, sorry about this (I think A number of users were complaining about this but it turns out it was more about cursor movement than clicks (or so combo of the cursor moving then a click on new position after timeout. In any event it was never intended to prevent cursor movement while typing So marking all invalid. ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome/xenial Status: New => Invalid ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1576685] Re: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled
I didnt see that you are using Unity. u-s-d also launches syndaemon with the "-t" option, which means motion won't be disabled, just clicking and scrolling. Perhaps the "Synaptics Off" patch would help, atleast on supported hardware. I am not sure that Unity7 has been ported to use libinput, I suspect not and clearly that would not be an option for LTS. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

However at least on my laptop it is still falling back to using syndaemon. That is launched with "-t" option and has been since 2012. commit c1b2b478ec71b907e4af736d62c1a81ad400f902 Author: Bastien Nocera Date: Mon Jun 18 11:51:09 2012 +0100 mouse: Only inhibits mouse clicks and scrolls with syndaemon Not mouse movements. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673055 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #673055 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673055 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Possibly related to this commit. commit b23917f0a279aba4599cdc7a5b34055f3d8975ba Author: Ondrej Holy Date: Wed Apr 8 12:39:48 2015 +0200 mouse: Do not disable touchpad buttons Touchpad buttons are disabled also if touchpad is disabled using "Device Enabled" property. Unfortunately some touchpads share those buttons with trackpoint, which is consequently unusable. Disable touchpad using "Synaptics Off" property instead to avoid disabling the buttons. Remove also some redundant calls to enable/disable touchpad and make sure syndaemon isn't running if the touchpads are disabled. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747504 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #747504 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747504 ** Package changed: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) => gnome-settings- daemon (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu-gnome Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576685 Title: Disable touchpad while typing is not active nor can it be enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1576685/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
