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. Just posting on the off chance others make the same mistake. -- 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
