This represents a regression to users that shouldn't be happening in an lts release. - The 'working' method in libinput requires adding to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf a line Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true" ie. - - + The 'working' method in libinput requires adding to + /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf a line Option + "DisableWhileTyping" "true" ie. - + Section "InputClass" - Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" - MatchIsTouchpad "on" - MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" - Driver "libinput" - Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true" + Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" + MatchIsTouchpad "on" + MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" + Driver "libinput" + Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true" EndSection ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.8.2-1ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Apr 29 09:08:56 2016 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-26 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) MachineType: HP HP Pavilion Notebook ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-21-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=92e9d325-bf8c-4f8e-ac29-c469ad75d0a4 ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 09/22/2015 dmi.bios.vendor: Insyde dmi.bios.version: F.54 dmi.board.asset.tag: Type2 - Board Asset Tag dmi.board.name: 80A4 dmi.board.vendor: HP dmi.board.version: 91.19 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: HP dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.54:bd09/22/2015:svnHP:pnHPPavilionNotebook:pvrType1ProductConfigId:rvnHP:rn80A4:rvr91.19:cvnHP:ct10:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: HP Pavilion Notebook dmi.product.version: Type1ProductConfigId dmi.sys.vendor: HP version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.12.2+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.67-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 11.2.0-1ubuntu2 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 11.2.0-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 1:2.10.1-1ubuntu2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.7.0-1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20160325-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.12-1build2 xserver.bootTime: Fri Apr 29 06:51:34 2016 xserver.configfile: default xserver.errors: - + xserver.logfile: /var/log/Xorg.0.log xserver.outputs: - product id 1203 - vendor LGD + product id 1203 + vendor LGD xserver.version: 2:1.18.3-1ubuntu2
