[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running
the problem also shows in precise. My touchpad suddenly stopped when i (may) accidentally make a gesture which disable my touchpad (not for the click function). When i did, it displays an osd box(looks like a notification) and then my touchpad is disabled. when i run dconf-tools and looks for /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled the value is true. Then i re-enable it by setting it to false, then true. and my touchpad went normal again. i think it's because disable touchpad while type feature's bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi Sebastien, The OEM has already shipped a custom version with the fix.

James, Anthony: do you really need those fixes to land in the official archive? Our resources are limited and at this point we need to focus on precise LTS and quantal rather than Oneiric, having to build and test all those Oneiric backports has a cost. I'm keeping the bug open in case somebody is still interested to sponsor Oneiric updates but I can't justify spending extra time helping on those myself, I would recommend you consider updating to the LTS or building your own overlay ppa with the fixes you need for that project. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I did a clean install of 12.04, followed by a deja-dup restore of a backup of my home directory. I then enabled disable touchpad while typing. Then I began having these symptoms. Previously, (when I was on 11.10 , from which the backup was made) I had created a custom syndaemon launcher startup because the normal disable touchpad while typing didn't work very well (cursor would still jump sometimes when I brushed the touchpad while typing). I didn't realize this would persist in startup applications preferences after the clean install followed by restore. Apparently it did, and so I got this error - two syndaemons running.

[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running
I tried a solution from #107 at HP mini. On that laptop the bug was 100% reproducible, if as a first thing after reboot you open chromium and start typing. After implementing #107 bug did not happened, or at least it is not 100% reproducible any more. If user checks the the disable while typing settings - he ends up with 2 instances of the syndaemon running, but touchpad still works. If you uncheck settings, the later daemon with 0.5 sec disappears.

Just want to make a layman's post on this bug: first, for those like me using unity and don't know where to mess with your touchpad (mouse area) settings, just search 'system settings' in your dash. Then you'll see 'mouse and touchpad'. Now my update: it seems that by unchecking the 'disable touchpad while typing' box the freezing of touchpad (and Skype, interestingly) seems tohave been resolved. I have done about three reboots and have not seen the freeze yet. I'm on an Aspire One Acer 257-1814 with Ubuntu 11.10.

Most of the time when this happens I thought it is a hyper-sensitivity of the touchpad and I am touching it while typing.

[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running
This generally seems to happen when two syndaemons are running. They are being spawned by gnome-settings-daemon. Comment 69 is the case where there are two instances from the user. This could happen if g-s-d crashes and then respawns, as right now g-s-d only checks its internal variable manager-priv-syndaemon_spawned, it doesn't actually check if there is a running instance. This confirms the g-s-d task. Comment 81 is the case where syndaemon gets started from lightdm, and keeps running in the user session. I think the best and easiest solution would be to change g-s-d gsettings in lightdm to not start syndaemon at all, it's not really necessary/useful in the greeter and just overhead. ** Summary changed: - Synaptics touchpad stops working + Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu Oneiric) = lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Confirmed = Triaged ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Precise) Milestone: oneiric-updates = None ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Oneiric) Milestone: oneiric-updates = None ** Changed in: lightdm (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: (unassigned) = Robert Ancell (robert-ancell) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Precise) Milestone: oneiric-updates = ubuntu-12.04-beta-1 ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Precise) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) Status: Incomplete = Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team) = (unassigned) ** Tags added: rls-p-tracking -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running
syndaemon runs on its own, once it's started it does not need to be controlled from outside. So it would work if g-s-d used pidof instead of manager-priv-syndaemon_spawned, then it can also grab the pid to know what to kill if the user changes the setting. ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Precise) Assignee: Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team) = Rodrigo Moya (rodrigo-moya) ** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Oneiric) Assignee: (unassigned) = Canonical Desktop Team (canonical-desktop-team) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working - two syndaemon instances running To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working
Martin, I have actually experienced both of these bugs. I have had the touchpad stop responding with two syndaemons. What I've been doing to fix it is kill the one with the higher PID and then run synclient touchpadoff=0. This has happened under Unity and GNOME 3. The other issue is the touchpad locking up for brief moments and eventually becoming unresponsive and/or going wild. It gets progressively worse as time goes on, until it's become mostly unresponsive between fits of... I don't even have a word for it. It three-finger-grabs a window and rapidly jerks it all over the screen. The more I use the touchpad, the more rapidly the problem progresses, but it's fine with an external mouse if I stay off the touchpad.

Until a complete fix, maybe a trick could make a temporary fix: the
syndaemon should check on start if there is another instance of the
daemon.
Something like (logical scheme, I have no idea how the daemon real code
looks like):

isAnotherInstance(){return;}
else {startDaemon;}

Just to re-affirm Here when the freeze occurs 'randomly' there are always 2 syndaemon instances but NO indication that lightdm is involved. There are however 2 scenarios where lightdm is involved, but they are very limited. One is sometimes on a live session, the other is the very first login after a new install.

[Bug 868400] Re: Synaptics touchpad stops working
I think Sven is right in his assumption that the touchpad freeze is caused by two syndaemon instances getting out of sync. On my system I find consistent correlation between touchpad freezing and two syndaemon instances running. What puzzles me is why I don't always have two syndaemon instances running. I have found that if I cold boot and log in as UserA or UserB I most of the time have only one syndaemon instance and have no problem. If I log out from UserA and then log in as UserB I still (most of the time) have only one syndaemon instance. If I then log out UserB and log in as UserA again, I always have two syndaemon instances and I consistently get a touchpad freeze if my first keyboard activity in the new session is ctrl-alt-T followed by arrow up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/868400 Title: Synaptics touchpad stops working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/868400/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Apologies for being a little direct on the last post. I think that in many cases this bug might just be caused by those two syndaemon instances running, which would make sense as oneiric made the switch from lightdm to gdm, and this does not happen on my laptop if I use gdm (whoch does NOT start its own syndaemon instance).

#Doug McMahon No problem, thanks for trying. Just a thought: bugs like this one make people go to stable and mature OS's; it makes no sense to develop fancy windows managers when basic things do not work as expected.
