and I didn't use anything else and didn't install any P2P client in Ubuntu. And then a few day later, my laboratory received the message that someone in our laboratory used P2P with prohibited in the university. The people in my laboratory pointed to me because they're all using windows only me using Ubuntu. So I would like to ask "Is it possible that Ubuntu using P2P in its background? or apt-get or synaptics using P2P in their process?" If Ubuntu can't do that, I can prove myself. But If Ubuntu does, I still can show to them that it's Ubuntu's program and it's legal.
When removing packages via Synaptics it gives the option of Mark for removal Mark for complete removal If I mark it for complete removal does it mean it will never be available from Synaptics again or does it mean that the whole package will be deleted from my system and have to be downloaded again if I want to install it again. I am never sure which to pick
I had finally go tmy netbook set up the way i wanted it, everything was working great. The notification popups were annoying me so i was trying to disable them. I used this string in a terminal: sudo mv /usr/ share /dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications. service.disabled
After rebooting i had nothing but a taskbar.No icons, no panels, nothing but wallpaper and the taskbar. I can't even figure out how to open up a terminal.Hopefully there is a way to load synaptics and reload the desktop somehow?
I try to install anything in terminal, synaptics update and package manager. I get this error in all those places deb' is not known on line 56 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list, E:The list of sources could not be read
I've some file with .sh extensions that runs some softwares.Now,how do I stop running that filesI know we run the command ./start_tomcat.sh to start the apache.Is there any command to stop that file/process or is it just kill the process to stop the process
I'm trying to change some of the config options for my MacbookPro3,1 touchpad. I added the relevant lines in my Xorg.conf file but I'm getting an error that no synaptics touchpad is recognized and then the module is unloaded. This is the error:
I know it's an appletouch and not a Synaptics trackpad but on the appletouch driver site it says I should be able to configure it using the synaptics driver: [URL] Here's my xorg.conf file in case this helps at all. I created it by copy-pasting the synaptics secton from the appletouch driver site I posted above into my default xorg.conf.
I just found out that many Synaptics touchpads are capable of multi-touch and it's possible to do 2-finger scrolling and more.I have enabled this functionality in windows and I am sure now that the touchpad inside my laptop is capable of that.In Fedora 13 (64-bit), however, I was unable to make it working. I found a guide for Linux (Ubuntu) right here:URL... In Ubuntu it multitouch worked without problems after following the guide.
I first thought that I screwed something up on my Fedora and downloaded/ran live Fedora 13 64-bit disk to see if this trick will work with Fedora intact. After trying that guide in live Fedora CD I quickly found out that I couldn't enable multitouch the same way as on Ubuntu.I have no idea what could be different. Both Fedora and Ubuntu had Synaptics driver installed on live CDs (and on my installed Fedora too).
I get the error when trying to mark tomahawk for installation using synaptics. I googled the error but couldn't find anything on it. could some one help me figure out what's going on?
Okay here is a good one. I am running KDE and i am trying to use the instructions found here [URL] to enable the touchpad tapppping. I have done it this way before successfully but now i seem to be having a problem. When i started all i had was a 10-synaptics.fdi file that just had the word synaptics on it...then when i tried to modify it the only change that took place were the addition of 1 2 3 after it. I've tried over and over with different editors with the same result and no touchpad tapping.
I have a new HP ENVY 14 laptop with OpenSuSE 11.3 installed, running the Gnome desktop. The laptop has a Synaptics TouchPad. By default, many of the touchpad settings are turned off, e.g. single tap to click. I'm trying to set them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf code...
I've verified that the settings I'm trying to set work when I set them using synclient, e.g. synclient TapButton1=1 enables tap to click.
I'm brand new to Linux and OpenSuSE so I'm not even sure this is the preferred way to set up my touchpad. I'd appreciate any help diagnosing this problem.
My Laptop is a Sony VAIO VPCS12C5E. I recently installed Fedora 13 (x64). I have the problem that the Touchpad is not working at all.The following Synaptics driver is installed:
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.2.2-6.fc13.x86_64
Touchpad is not listed in GPointing (Version 1.5.1-2) A USB Mouse is working fine. I tried adding the following configuration to a new X11 conf file under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-synaptics.conf
I have an HP 8460p laptop and have installed Debian(!) Squeeze. The Synaptics TouchPad works, but I am unable to adjust the configuration (primarily pointer speed/acceleration). I have installed package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics according to this Debian wiki page: [URl] My Synaptics device: tyler@titanium:~$ egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices N: Name="ImPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
Output from synclient and syndaemon: tyler@titanium:~$ synclient -l Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded? tyler@titanium:~$ syndaemon Unable to find a synaptics device. I have tried building /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf and restarting but nothing changed: Section "InputClass"
[Code]....
I also examined [URL] and I just couldn't get very far to understand what was wrong, or what I needed to do.
I'm trying to setup X on an old netbook to act kinda like a small backup server for a few VPS servers i own, Anyway so i decided to install X + openbox + Other Programs together to create a basic desktop that i could vnc into if i wish or could use from the main box.
(Heres the problem)
When X starts it says it cannot queary the touchpad and when X loads i have no mouse. The first few times i started X I had no problems. I've looked on a few websites but i cant seem to get the touchpad to work again, Any Ideas?
I had a question about how to configure wheezy 7.2 on a laptop with a Synaptics touchpad. As installed, the touchpad is recognized; I can move the mouse pointer with it, and even scroll vertically with the touchpad's scroll strip. However, it won't let me tap or double-tap on the pad to emulate mouse clicks, like I can in other OSes. I am running the LXDE desktop on Debian Wheezy 7.2.
And, there is no configuration that I can find for the Synaptics touchpad in the default setup; I looked all through the menus.
So far, I've tried a few suggestions I've found while searching. I installed a GUI-based config program called "GPointing Device Settings", and *some* of the settings in that program seem to work with the Synaptics touchpad, but others, like the tapping settings, don't.
One point of confusion for me is that some of the solutions I've seen mention a folder /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/synaptics.conf; however, on my system, there is no xorg.conf.d folder underneath /etc/X11, and in fact, I can't find that folder anywhere on the system. The page I was looking at is here: [URL] .... does LXDE use a different X setup than other desktop environments?
I recently installed Debian with the Xfce desktop environment on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and my Synaptics touchpad simply does not work. In fact, it was not even working in the Debian graphical installation.
I verified that the touchpad is enabled by going to Applications --> Settings --> Mouse and Touchpad. I also verified that I had the requisite drivers by running Code: Select allsudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. Finally, /var/log/Xorg.0.log did not reveal anything unusual, though the output is quite long and was difficult to navigate. Here is the output of Code:
after an upgrade today (it's been about a week since last upgrade), synaptics forgot all settings I've set in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, although the file is still there. I can re-enable the desired settings via gsynaptics (more or less, because gsynaptics doesn't give me the option of two finger horizontal scrolling but that's no big deal), however after a restart it forgets the settings as well. There are some synaptics-related errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but I don't understand them. Here's the snippet (the second half is maybe not synaptics-related but mouse-related, I'm not sure):
(II) config/udev: Adding input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (/dev/input/event8) (II) LoadModule: "synaptics" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so
after finally being able to find the right configuration file for the Synaptics driver (I still think the change from HAL to udev was too silent...), I have gained the ability to configure my TouchPad. One Issue has been bothering me for a long time now: When moving the cursor from left to the right, at a certain position the mouse cursor jumps to the right edge of the screen.Here is the output of synclient while moving the finger constantly from left to right to illustrate the issue:
[code]....
Note that the value of RightEdge was changed by me in order to see if it has something to do with the issue. It has not, the cursor jumps at the same position, regardless of this value.
Since when I installed Debian, I couldn't manage to make the tapping function of this touchpad work on my laptop - a Dell Latitude C610, with Debian squeeze. As suggested on [URL], I created a xorg.conf file with
Xorg :1 -configure
After that, I opened the file for editing it. There was no line regarding the Touchpad. The closest to that I found was
I tried adding the lines on [URL] ... C_Xorg_7.5 to the file, but it didn't work. I also tried installing gsynaptics but, even though the tapping function was enabled there, it didn't work. A weird fact is that vertical scrolling with two finger touch is working, but not tapping.
I'm running Debian Squeeze on an HP Pavilion dv6-6040ca. The touchpad featured is relatively new, which is likely the root of my problem. The touchpad with its winblows driver features a backlight, two mouse buttons (buttons,not dedicated touchpad space), and an 'on/off' switch/zone in the top left of the touchpad. The touchpad zone works well for pointing, but no gesture support. The touchpad's tap/click feature works way too well, which is very frustrating. The touchpad is detected as a mouse, so there is no option in System->Preferences->Mouse for a touchpad. Both mouse buttons function as expected. The 'on/off' switch/zone does not function, nor does the backlight.
The only feature I really need is the ability to turn off the tap/click feature, as it makes typing a nightmare. It's gotten to the point where I wrote a shell script to toggle the loading/unloading of my psmouse module (which isn't a bad solution, but I don't want my general account having access to modprobe).
I'm using the proprietary ATI driver (couldn't do 3D with the open driver), and I'm using a proprietary wireless module for my RaLink wireless adapter.

also the xorg input synaptics driver is installed. Now here's the fun part where the obvious things I've overlooked are quickly pointed out to me.
When I reboot, and check "synclient -l" all the options except the last two ("VertTwoFingerScroll","HorizTwo FingerScroll") are configured the way I made it. These keep getting reset to zero and I tried adding this snippet to the end of files in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d but to no avail.If I do "synclient VertTwoFinger Scroll=1" then it my two finger scroll works, but I want it to be permanant. Anyone have a clue why it keeps going back to 0?
I'm running F13 on an HP-dv6 with a Synaptics touchpad. I have not had any problems with the touchpad until the latest kernel upgrade to 2.6.33.8-149.fc13.x86_64. Now, intermittently with no obvious cause, yhe Synaptics driver fails to load at boot resulting in a dead touchpad. I've tried altering my xorg.conf with no results. The error message I get during boot when this happens is:
Code: unable to query Synaptics hardware I've done some Googling as well as searching these forums and have found several suggestions, none of which seem to work. I already have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf which reads:
When it works it works great. Just seems to be no rhyme or reason for it. When it's not working and I try to run synclient I get an error that the synaptics module is not loaded. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, or is it just me?
To cut to the chase, I have an ACER Aspire 8735G-6502, a fairly new model. I'm having issues configuring the multi-gesture to the touchpad to do any of the gestures. In fact when more than one finger is placed on the pad, the pointer flies around the screen in a random pattern. Does anyone have advice on either the configuration of the gestures, or a way of disabling any gestures and just having it be a single digit (classic) touchpad.
I've gone from 13.1 to 13.37, and hit this problem. The Irish (~=gb) is gone to US, and the bar along the side of the touchpad no longer works.
So I went to the Backup (Yes, stop laughing, I had a backup) and copied in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* which had the files for sorting slackware-13.1, but _they_ did nothing after a reboot. I have
I have been running various versions of 13.37 -current on my Lenovo Thinkpad T410 and it has mostly been very good but I have one problem with the touchpad on this laptop.I want to use the touchpad but disable tapping so I have /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf containing
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop and encountered several issues.
1. The Synaptics touchpad is nearly unusable. It is impossible to drag while holding down a button. The cursor will move randomly across the screen instead. It is impossible to right click; a right click is treated like a left click. Double-tapping the dot in the corner does not disable the touchpad.
2. Attempting to change the brightness will kill the screen. The computer is still functioning, and it is possible to perform tasks "blind." Only the screen becomes completely blank.
3. Ubuntu does not always boot up reliably. When it does not, the screen is blank but the computer is otherwise responding.
4. The screen is black after suspend.
5. The computer will sometimes hang when shutting down (showing desktop background). Possibly related messages in dmesg:
