I am just a user, trying to find out if the problem is due to a change in the Synaptics-driver or to a change in the gnome-setting (or gnome- settings daemon).
In earlier versions of Ubuntu (8.04) the following entry (apparently responsible for the problem) does not exist in gconf: /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad Could somebody please check if the keybinding is set in Ubuntu 9.04 (the last version of Ubuntu where the problem did not appear). I already tried to check this is a live-cd - however Ubuntu 9.04 did not boot on my laptop. If you have a live-CD or install of Ubuntu 9.04 available please: a) boot b) open gconf-editor (e.g. Atl-F2, type gconf-editor) c) check the value of /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad d) report back the answers to the following questions: - Does the entry /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad exist? - What is the value of the setting? Thanks a lot in advance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571638 Title: Keyboard does not work when touchpad disable button pressed -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
