Well, it still isn't fixed in karmic... Oddly enough, the thing about remembering settings used to work until I upgraded to karmic, so it's probably an otherwise misconfiguration issue that exposes the bug, not a fresh install. -- gsynaptics-init won't load settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70525 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

the bug is present in gutsy $ gsynaptics-init ** (gsynaptics-init:18215): WARNING **: Using synclient Unknown parameter CoastingSpeedThreashold it is very easy to fix this error, just modify the string containing CoastingSpeedThreashold maybe replacing it by just the first part of the name: CoastingSpeed that appears to be just a typing mistake in the source files for: $ grep -ir CoastingSpeedThreashold /usr/ Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/gsynaptics-init matches Binary file /usr/X11R6/bin/gsynaptics matches I dont know how to modify that files in the repository, also I uninstalled thouchpad before reporting the bug. neither I am 100% shure that the name replacement I suggested above is the intended behavior, because I haven't seen the source code. I just browsed the object code discovering the string: "CoastingSpeedThreshold %s", thus I inferred that this is part of a string format used to issue some code like char format[]="something CoastingSpeedTreshold %s"; int value = some number; sprintf(command,format,value); system(command); or some of the exec family I hope this helps to fix the problem.

The name of the attribute causing the error is (apparently) CoastingSpeed. Note no "Threshold" or "Threashold" or any other spelling at the end, just "CoastingSpeed". After changing this in gsynaptics.c, it works properly and can save and restore settings with gsynaptics-init. (finally!) This is for the synclient binary which comes with the package xserver- xorg-input-synaptics, which has the version 0.14.6-0ubuntu7, which is included in Feisty. -- gsynaptics-init won't load settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

0.9.7-3 does not fix this problem. The debbugs #401637 fixes only the spelling error in the error message, but does not fix this bug (#70525).

The odd thing for me is that it does work... sometimes. I'll log in to find the scrolling not working, but then after a while of normal usage, I'll suddenly note that the scrolling has started working. It seems really random to me. The CoastingSpeedThreshold misspelling has been fixed, but I still get: ** (gsynaptics-init:21589): WARNING **: Using synclient Unknown parameter CoastingSpeedThreshold -- gsynaptics-init won't load settings https://launchpad.net/bugs/70525 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 70525] Re: gsynaptics-init won't load settings
I noticed something new (now on Fiesty also): Although the misspelling seems to have been fixed, my setting still don't reliably load. ** (gsynaptics-init:10682): WARNING **: Using synclient Unknown parameter CoastingSpeedThreshold When I first log in, the circular and vertical scrolling don't work, but if I try again some arbitrary time later, it DOES work. I've even put the CircularScrolling options directly in xorg.conf, yet the same issue remains. Another suggestion: The synaptics driver with SHMConfig enabled should be set up, and gsynaptics should be installed, if a touchpad is detected during setup. If it is made automatic, people won't have to deal with it manually, and it'll be far easier to disable tapping [assuming the other bug about the synaptics driver ignoring that setting has been fixed]. If the touchpad is made CorePointer and any other mice are set to use evdev with SendCoreEvents, then the secondary mouse will be hot- pluggable! -- gsynaptics-init won't load settings https://launchpad.net/bugs/70525 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
