[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
IMPORTANT - this contains steps to reproduce the problem. Comment #103 above has the solution - but it's slightly more subtle than this. I can easily reproduce the problem on my Acer netbook which has a dedicated keypress (Fn F7) to toggle the touchpad on or off. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Netbook. It seems like the touchpad is enabled in two different places. The one we know about is at /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled. The other is elsewhere, presumably in the Synaptics device driver. Both persist over a reboot. Normally when you hit Fn F7 the touchpad toggles reliably between the enabled and disabled states. But it's like two electrical switches in series. Provided they both remain in step it works. But if there's ever a glitch that causes one switch to be off while the other is on, there's no easy way to correct it. Hitting Fn F7 will just reverse the existing state. But with one switch on and the other off the touchpad never gets enabled. Steps to reproduce. (1) Use gconftool-2 to monitor the state of the relevant gconf key using the command below. gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled Press Fn F7 repeatedly and each time check the results with gconftool-2. As expected, you can see the key toggle from true to false and back again. At the same check that the touchpad is being enabled and disabled correctly. This is the normal behaviour. (2) Finish up with the key value set to false. Now use gconftool-2 to change the key to true using the command below. gconftool-2 --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true Note that this sets the two flags out of step with each other. After this you can keep on hitting FnF7 and see the gconf key change from true to false. But whatever you do you can't get the touchpad to work. Whenever gconf thinks the keypad is enabled the other flag thinks it is disabled and vice versa. To solve this, the software needs to link the two flags together so they can never have different values. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 Title: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I just upgraded my Lenovo Thinkpad T410 to 11.04 Natty and hit this issue. The solution that worked for me seems a bit simpler than some of the ones offered earlier so hopefully this will help someone. Hit Alt-F2 Type gconf-editor and hit return Browse to desktop/gnome/peripherals key Look for your touchpad - mine looked like SybPS@47@2... Uncheck the disable while other device exists option Bingo! Presumably the problem was that Thinkpads have two built-in pointing devices. While the solution turned out to be simple, it took me a good hour to figure it out and the earlier comments in this thread helped me to start looking in the right place.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I would like to add that I DONT have a trackpad or touchpad installed, and use an MS Wireless Multimedia Keyboard V1.0A (WUR0335).. This issue presented itself and the keyboard would just stop working. The menus in 10.04 would highlight (i.e Applications, Places and System) but no dropdown would occur. I disabled any desktop effects to no avail. At first, I kept hitting the power button on the machine to switch off and on, as the menus would not respond, however, as un-scientific as it is, if i pressed my hands on as many keys as possible, I was given an Ubuntu Notification then my keyboard stopped working. The notification looked like a trackpad, so I looked in the notification folder, found the icon, and found what normally uses it for notifications (BTW - There was no record of the notification in the log!) From there, it led to this bug, and to this fix : gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad ~Which runs at every login. I know, elegant, eh?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I do not now if I have the same problem, but I found very simple solution for mine: When I switch touchpad off with Disable button (physical button near touchpad) and reboot, my touchpad starts working again. The problem reappear, if I reboot with the touchpad switched off again. So it looks like either Gnome or Synaptics Driver dose not save ON/OFF state when you reboot, and another thing (Gnome or Synaptics Driver) does. And after reboot their ON/OFF states are inconsistent.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
Poster #83 got it right. The issue is caused by gnome-settings-daemon. There is, however, no need to adjust/recompile any code. Hi, I was having the same issue. I believe that the Synaptics touchpad driver and Gnome both disable the touchpad individually. For some reason, Gnome (in particular gnome-settings-daemon) fails to re-enable it; which is why you end up with a dead touchpad, once you disable it. Here is what fixed it for me (HP Pavilion DV6730ec): First of all, open a terminal. Press Alt+F1 to open the applications menu and choose the Terminal application from the accessories or use an external mouse to so. To bring your touchpad back to life, enter the following command: Code: gconftool --type bool --set /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true The key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled is where gnome-settings-daemon remembers that you disabled your touchpad. This is the reason, why it is disabled even after a reboot. The issue will re-appear, next time you disable your touchpad. You need to prevent gnome-settings-daemon from disabling your touchpad in the first place, because the Synaptics touchpad driver does this already. To do so, run the following command in a terminal: Code: gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad This dissociates the key to lock your touchpad from gnome-settings- daemon. If for any reason, the latter command breaks the lock touchpad support for you, than you probably have a different issue. To re- associate the key with gnome-settings-daemon, run this command: gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad XF86TouchpadToggle Hope this helps. I recommend rebooting after this procedure and check if this really fixed it for good. I noticed that the error only occurs only once after a reboot. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Dear all, One-and-a-half weeks after my initial reaction (#95) on this bug I can report it solved in my particular case. A couple of weeks ago I tried to flash the BIOS on my Acer Aspire One 150. I followed the official Acer instructions by placing the new BIOS files on a USB stick and then hold three particular keys during power-up. After three attempts the version number still showed the old version. It must have been around that time that the touchpad stopped working too. Today I succesfully updated the BIOS by means of bootable USB stick (unetbootin, FreeDOS).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I too experience this problem since a few days, probably after an update. At home I always use a mouse, so I did not notice until recently. I have an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-22 generic. My touchpad is completely dead for all users. Unlike others it does neither temporarily work at the login screen, nor randomly, nor for a limited period. I tried Fn-F7, gconf-editor (Touchpad is enabled), mouse settings menu, checked outputs from dmesg | grep Touch, xinput list-props SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad and cat /proc/bus/input/devices. Nothing special found. Then I booted from a USB start-up stick with Ubuntu 9.10, with the expectance that touchpad would work again which would allow me to find the differences in settings. Guess what: it did not. I did the same listings and settings check, compared with the previous investigations. Again found nothing weird. Unless the problem was also present in the ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso (I maybe did not notice then since immediately after installation there were many updates), it leads to my suspicion that it the problem is resident in the netbook. Does this help anyone to find the root cause? Can anyone confirm the same behaviour on his laptop? I realise it could even be a hardware problem. Nevertheless, I'm still looking forward to a solution. ** Attachment added: investigation touchpad http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50281119/investigation%20touchpad.odt -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I finally got time to debug on the computer in trouble and these are my findings; It seems some application sets the gconf value to false and g-s-d picks this up and disables the touchpad as it should. Doing a switch to a console (ctrl + alt + f1) and back (ctrl + alt + f7) seems to trigger this - but just once after boot. I think that the offending application is media keys manager in g-s-d in the do_touchpad_action (gsd-media-keys-manager.c ~650) but my debug time is up for now. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

When there is no WiFi connection, the touchpad works better, but still freezes time to time.

Finally, it looks like the problem has gone. At the least, durng the past hour the touchpad works fine.

Experiencing the same issue on an Acer Aspire 6930G, the touchpad works fine at the GDM login screen and then stops working after login. Enabling/disabling the touchpad does not solve the problem. It took a while for me to notice this bug as I also tend to default to a USB optical mouse. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
Confirmed still a problem on Lucid. I suspect the culprit was an updated laptop-detect package, but I have no evidence to back that up. Doing this did solve the problem: gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean true I used gconf-editor to make the change graphically. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
Haksell's fix (#50) works, but only in the strictest sense of the word. It's touchpad functionality at it's most basic, is unaccelerated, and side scrolling is disabled. Further, touchpad configuration becomes disabled in the GUI configuration tool. Have we removed the Fix released status?

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
Yes I do agree, this is not a module related issue... That works, but it's just an huge workaround. The only way I can make my touchpad and my touchpad-button to work is to invert the /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled gconf option; after that the touchpad works following the hardware button status. I guess that this all due to the fact that the above setting is inverted at the beginning of a session (so, using the hardware button you enable the touchpad, but you disable gnome to grab its values and vice-versa). -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
Same Computer as Morten Minke (It's a Co-workers HP dv9000) and same symptoms, including the inability to left click. Fresh install of release version of 10.04LTS (never had any Ubuntu/Linux before, whole hd for Ubuntu), problem not present or not noticed until after doing the updates. Switching to a psuedo term and back sometimes seems to fix it. Also, due to some other problems, the keychain password and login password were out of sync. This seemed to be when the problem started, and seems to have been fixed when either I fixed this, or when I did: gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t boolean true Not sure if the keychain stuff is relevant, but Gnome is so integrated with everything these days. Perhaps it thinks my input device preferences should be secret. Interestingly, I have rebooted, and completely shutdown several times, and it now seems fine without doing the gconftool line again. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 549727] Re: [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login
I just noticed this problem tonight. I'm not sure how long its been going on for, I normally use a USB mouse. Using a HP dv5z-1000 with the 64 bit version of Lucid and all the latest updates. I just tried switching terminals and switching back like Linuxslate suggested, and its working at least for now. Seems like this should be a fairly high priority if its affecting as many different people and systems as it seems to be, especially since on a laptop, you often don't have a way to use a conventional usb mouse. -- [10.04] Touchpad stops working after login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/549727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

To fix this (without startup-scripts) create a file /etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf and put options psmouse proto=imps in it.
