Debian Hardware :: Toshiba Chromebook Not Detecting Touchpad
Nov 19, 2015
I recently installed Debian Jessie on my Chromebook, and everything seems to be in order but the touchpad is not working.
I tried following the instructions in https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad. However the following command does not yield output:
Code: Select allegrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices
So the problem seems to be that the kernel is not detecting the presence of the touchpad. Is there anything I can do to resolve? My kernel version is 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64

I just bought a recently-released Toshiba CB35-B3340 Chromebook, and I'm trying to install Debian on it (I want to wipe out CrOS and give all harddrive space to Debian). However, I'm having problems booting from USB. When I press Ctrl+U at boot, the screen flashes back, the computer beeps, and I'm brought back to the same "OS Verification is Off" screen. If I press Ctrl+L to get to what is supposed to be the SeaBios screen, the computer beeps twice and nothing else happens.
I followed steps 1-4 and 8 of this guide: [URL] .... and I just downloaded the amd64 netinstall image from the Debian website and dd'd it to the USB stick.
I've tried two different USB sticks and successfully booted another computer from them, but neither work on the Chromebook. I've also tried both USB ports, since I've heard some Chromebooks can only boot from one, but to no avail.
I have looked into things like ChrUbuntu and crouton, but they look like they just set up a dual-boot or chroot system. I want neither of these, my goal being to have a normal Linux laptop at the end.

I've tried the script at [URL] .... modules.sh (via: [URL] .... , step 5) which works for some chromebook owners, but not for me.
Are there any other things I can try to get my trackpad working, or is it simply unsupported at this time? It works with chromeos + crouton, but I'd prefer to just have Debian.

Title says it all really. I can move the mouse around but can't select stuff by tapping the pad. I have synaptics installed which works in Arch and Slackware. Not in F12 though.

Let me preface this by stating that I am a very new Linux user (newb) so I could be missing something very obvious. I have a Toshiba Satellite L645D-S4056 and recently installed Fedora 14 (64-bit GNOME) with all sorts of updates and software. I'm working my way through all of the hardware to get it all running properly. I figured out how to get the RealTek wireless-n adapter working.
The webcam is working even with Skype which is tricky on the 64-bit version. At the moment, my touchpad doesn't work. I see a lot of articles online about the touchpad not double-tapping, but mine doesn't work at all. I've been using a mouse for all my GUI stuff. I went to SYSTEM --> PREFERENCES --> MOUSE and selected the touchpad tab, but I can't figure out how to make it work.

I am trying to setup a debian sid on my Chromebook (Asus C201 / Rockchip ARM).I've followed the howto here : URL.....Debootstrap ok, config ok, kernel repack ok... everything went fine until the first boot.When i boot from the sd card, nothing seem to happen. The screen stay black, no text appear.Back in chromeos, i check the syslog and the kernel did load successfully.
Code: Select allAug 29 16:10:32 armbox systemd[1]: Startup finished in 2.256s (kernel) + 1.798s (userspace) = 4.054s.
It seems after the kernel loads, nothing happen next.
Kernel is on mmcblk1p1
Rootfs is on mmcblk1p2
My kernel config is :
Code: Select allconsole=tty1 printk.time=1 nosplash rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 rw rootfstype=ext2 lsm.module_locking=0

Parted Magic doesn't detect the SSD for some reason. I've been trying to install ANY form of Linux onto my chromebook, wiping the SSD first and then installing Linux to it. For the last few months actively trying to do so, all has failed. I decided to get an m.2 connector that plugins into a gpu slot to connect it to my desktop (the SSD is micro-sized...) and it fits perfectly, but when opening Parted Magic from a simple USB drive, all my devices show up except my SSD.
Previously, the installations of Linux onto my Chromebook have always failed with a "not enough memory" message, trying all solutions found online and responding to other's posts, they suggested me to do this since they can't see the problem either. I never knew a basic wipe on an SSD, and installation of Linux would be so difficult. Everyone online says "it's so easy even without crouton" and is plug-in-play essentially. No, it is not.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS. My laptop is an HP Pavilion TX1210AU (TX1000 series). After disabling the touchpad using the toggle button and reenabling it again, it stopped working. I tried restarting my laptop and the mouse worked again only up to the Login Screen. After logging in to my account, the mouse froze again. I tried making a new account and tried logging into it (I'm using it now) and it's now fixed. Does Ubuntu change any user settings everytime the touchpad toggle (on/off) button is switched? Maybe I could just reenable it myself.

I'm having trouble getting the debian installer to detect an existing LVM
I installed Lenny on LVM on top of RAID 1.
My system looks like this:
I just added two 1.5 TB drives in raid 1 to the logical volume group home 100% added to /home /dev/md3
I went to reinstall the system from the lenny disc and now the installer does not recognize the LVM. It did recognize the LVM before I added md3 to the LVM.
During the partition editor, if i go to a terminal (by going to another window/console) and give the command vgdisplay it says that physical volume with UUID V0S1Yx-361r-NZaE-w1Fy-kCFQ-9MmH-g287vh cannot be found. You will see below that the UUID refers to /dev/md3 (the added 1.5 raid 1 array)
Below is the output of "pvdisplay" and "mdadm --detail /dev/md3"
I don't know if this has to do with it but /dev/md3 is the only array that says local to host yield [yield is my hostname] next to its UUID after the mdadm --detail command.

I couldn't find a place to post Cent OS questions so don't bite if this is in the wrong place
I have a KeySonic 2.4Ghz Wireless Keyboard with Integrated TouchPad which I am trying to get to work.
Now there are some reviews saying it works straight out the box on Linux. This was almost the case for me.
The keyboard works straight away but the touch pad doesn't work at all not even the mouse buttons
I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Kernel 2.6.18-128.el5
I would really appreciate any advice at all, I have checked the output of: cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Which gives:

I just installed Lenny and I was getting settled in. The wireless didn't work, but I have this USB adapter and was going to use it as a stop-gap measure until I get the real wireless going, especially since I could use that connection for downloading, forum search, etc.However, the USB adapter isn't working either. It seems to detect the adapter itself, since the "appendage" that appears on the right-click menu appears, but there's no detected networks. I have Jaunty dual booting with Lenny, and I know both the network and the USB adapter are working, since I'm on the Ubuntu side using both right now

When I connect my laptop to projector, its not detecting. But when I log-off and then log-in it automatically detects the display. I tried function key, but its not working. I am using Debian Lenny also. Also several others with different version of ubuntu running on different laptops reports the same problem. I tried searching net, but couldnt find a good answer.It would be helpful if some one explains what exctly is happening and an easy work around for this problem.

Well I bought this book "Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 and it came with Debian installer. Thought this was too good to be true! Well, during the install I get a message that "cdrom not detecting install components". I ran the the diagnostic utility that was included in the disc and it did not report any issues.

I have posted questions on several Linux forums that asked how I could turn off the touchpad on my new EEE-900A netbook. There is a backstory that is not that relevant, but in a nutshell, I got this tiny low-power computer to be my voice since my speech is impaired. Only the latest Debian has the tools I needed.
After much searching, suggested that I remove the touchpad driver; the command as root: # rmmod psmouse
Did the trick. On the 900A, the protocol that handles the touchpad is the PS/2. Removing the psmouse driver module does not affect my USB mouse, so now I can use my USB mouse and type away with my left hand and bumping into the touchpad doesn't screw things up. In other words: Success. (I am being as explicit as possible so that all search engines will find this.

CPU fan apparently is not working with Debian (or Kernel, I don't know who's responsible for ACPI devices management. ).After setting up lm-sensors to show core temperatures, and running a simple "while(true);" C program, I noticed the fan doesn't turn on until the temperature reaches 80 degrees Celsius, and when it does, it runs at what appears to be full speed (VERY noisy). Also, it stays turned on at that speed even after temperature gets below 35 degrees Celsius. The only way to turn it off is to put the computer to sleep and wake it up again, but if I do the same procedure, it happens again.
I think it is related to some compatibility problem with ACPI devices because when I turn on the computer, I can't get the Fn keys to work, but after I suspend and wake it up, I can control the brightness using the Fn key and use the Play, Pause, etc. buttons. I read this has something to do with ACPI issues, the same as the fan control issues, because "try to suspend and wake up the computer" is something people usually tell to others with this problem (I assume just to confirm the diagnostic).Everything works fine on the pre-installed Windows Vista that came with the computer. It's definitely a compatibility problem.
I've read a lot in forums, even here, but I couldn't get any solution for this. I installed toshset but asks me to enable a Kernel module which I have no idea of how to load. I have no idea of how to load a Kernel module in fact.Also, I didn't want to believe, but I read there's no solution for this (at least, not one which doesn't involve a lot of knowledge on the matter).I'd like to stay with Debian, so I'm doing my last try here before installing other Linux Distro. I hope this problem is about Debian and not all Linux distros.My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L355, Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200. I bought it in the end of 2008, so it's kind of old.

I have an IBM T43; only one HD allowed. It is loaded with Xp on the one HD, and others have and do use it regularly.I have loaded Lenny on Kingston USB flash on this machine without problem (sdb1 root and bootable.) I refuse to allow GRUB to be installed on the HD, tell it to load on /dev/sdb1, it completes and reboots. I then edit GRUB (HD0, 1) to (HD0, 0.) It then boots in fine. Later I edit the Boot entry.
When I attempt to do this with a Toshiba 8Gb Transmemory USB or a SanDisk 8Gb unit it simply restarts and displays a �"Error Loading Operating System" messageI�ve noted on the SanDisk the U3 business and have removed it via the provided tool; it still does not load.In G Parted I�ve noted on the Toshiba a hiddenfile at the beginning of the formatted partition. but can do nothing to remove it.It takes up quite a bit of territory. And, it too will not load.

My touchpad just stopped working recently. It works in the framebuffer console, cat /dev/input/mice gives sensible output, X -retro shows a moving cross and it is completely functional during the gdm login prompt. But for some reason, it just stops responding halfway through the login process (roughly at the same time as gnome complains about my old laptop battery, if that is any help.) I run Debian Squeeze with Linux 2.6.32-5-686. The touchpad is a Synaptics PS/2 pad according to Xorg.
I do not understand the problem, actually. X seems unwilling to talk to my touchpad for some reason. When I run X manually from single-user mode, it complains that it cannot talk to my touchpad, but it works in the -retro test mode. As soon as gnome kicks in however, it stops working. synclient -l gives sensible output.
My external USB mouse works just fine.

Ive installed debian 8 with a usb stick , without internet connection.
My touch pad configuration is quite strange : i cannot right-click and also i cannot select text (which normaly is done by pressing leftclick and moving the other finger). can
Instead i can right-click by tapping with 2 fingers at once , but still the problem of selecting text bugs me.
Ive google-d alot but there seems to be no GUI for solving my problem or none that i know how to install.
EDIT : ive googled a little more and i found how to do it , just Press with 1 finger and dont up it until youve selected the text , however that doesent let me select large pages, like 2 pages size because i cannot scroll enough

Just resently I managed to activate internal bluetooth adapter. I'm not expert in command line and everything I could was done in GNOME. Same like most other systems an icon appears in panel bar whenever I used to type <modprobe omnibook ectype=14>. It took me some time to set everything with the kind help from URL... So the thing is that after fingering with some newly installed packages concerning b-tooth utilities that icon is gone and b-tooth is not active.

Installing stretch stops at detecting network devices. This is an attempt to install stretch over the top of Windows 10 on a Toshiba Radius 15 with 2 each USB2 ports and 2 each USB3 ports, and no RJ-45. Its wireless is based upon the Intel 7265. Just before the presentation of the wireless list, the system reports the need to install non-free:
iwlwifi-7265D-9
iwlwifi-7265D-10
iwlwifi-7265D-11
iwlwifi-7265D-12
and asks for media. Whether I respond yes or no, the driver selection screen comes up. [I have not been able to find those four specific files on the Internet.The network card screen comes up, I select the Intel recommended firmware iwlsifi, but the page just recreates itself and waits for a new selection. If I select either 'none' or 'not listed', the installation fails saying there is no network card.I have obtained from Intel their suggestion as of Aug 2015: iwlwifi-7265-ucode-25.30.14.0.tgz.I placed this on a USB stick in a subdirectory labeled 'firmware'. This was built from Windows 7 on a FAT32 file system.
There is also a Dynadock docking station that connects to the Toshiba via a USB3 cable. Besides video, USB,and audio, this has an Ethernet port. I have tried this connected to the laptop but it also requires a driver. I have placed that driver on the firmware directory of the USB also.
Are the four files listed above somehow inside the iwlwifi driver tgz?Is there a way to get the docking station drive to load so I can use its Ethernet port?
I have used Rufus to build the stretch USB from Windows. I do have a a Linux box I built with the same USB. I would use it but so far, I only have a command line on it and I have not figured out how to access debian.org to download the installation files nor how to put that on the stick.

Since last Saturday (11-20) my touchpad enable/disable key stopped working.I don't make much use of the touchpad and it usually stays disabled most of the time so I can't be sure it is really on Saturday that I lost this functionality or maybe the day before (I'm positive it's not longer than that).Before that it worked flawlessly, now it's like a dead key (which is not broken by the way, tested on a live CD).In these past week I have been looking for quite some time for other users who might have experienced this problem after the update of two specific packages (console-data and keyboard-configuration) I had on the 20th and which made me think might have broken the key binding.Not finding anything at all and after having tried for said packages both newer versions from sid and previous known-to-have-worked-before versions from the install CD, I started thinking the problem was not there (I consequently restored the testing ones).
The days before this happened I tinkered a little bit with gpointing-device-settings and tpconfig (this last one was a simple tpconfig -i), but at this point I start thinking there might have been something else I've done, somewhere else I can't recall probably.
Oh, I forgot to mention that the touchpad still works flawlessly, I can enable/disable it through gconf (actually I made two handy shortcut to the "/desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled" value), so it is not an issue of making it work, just the toggle key which on my laptop is a dedicated one (no Fn modifier) and anyway all the other special keys still work fine.I checked gnome-keybinding-properties and there is no action for the touchpad there, but I don't know for sure if there was one before (and I haven't been able to add one). Anyway in gconf I noticed a key in "/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/touchpad" has the value "XF86TouchpadToggle", not sure if that means the keybinding exists or what.
What more can I add? What I'm here to ask now is some guidance on figuring out what I might have done wrong considering what I was able to tell you, but mostly, considering what I wasn't able to tell you and am not even aware to have done.

My touchpad stopped working, most likely I have accidentally turned it off by some Fn-key combination (Fn-F4 on my laptop). Since then I was unable to turn it back again. What I've tried:
0. Same keycombo does not work. Actually, when checking with xev, Fn-F4 does not even toogle any KeymapNotify event. Some other Fn-combos result in KeymapNotify (e.g. screen brightness), some others (e.g. keyboard backlight) do not give event, but still do what they should do, and finally some do not do anything
1. Total power-off, also removing battery. This has usually solved touchpad problems on my other Fujitsu laptop, but not on this.
2. Checked xinput: it says, that touchpad is enabled
3. Also tried this trick: adding "options psmouse proto=imps" to appropriate config file. [URL] ....
4. Further playaround with psmouse, as described here:[URL] ....
Laptop type: Fujitsu S935
uname -r: 4.2.0-1-amd64
I'm using MATE 1.10.2
