Ubuntu :: Trackpad Does Not Work When Desktop Loads

Sep 4, 2010

So I have used ubuntu for about 2 years now, and this has never been an issue. Basically my trackpad(touchpad) on my laptop stops working when the wallpaper and other gui aspects load. The mouse works in windows and works in ubuntu for a few seconds while the screen is still black and gui is loading. So I know ubuntu does know it exists.

This problem occured after watching a movie and ubuntu froze up. Also while watching the movie I had the trackpad disabled, which might have something to do with my problem. (I have a hpdv6500 which has a button on the trackpad to disable it. I did no software tricks or hacks to do it). After resetting my computer the problem existed and persists every time I turn it on and off. So does anyone have any experience with such a problem or maybe how to reset the settings of the mouse?

I'm using Ubuntu on my Lenovo laptop which has a pointer mouse and trackpadt looks exactly like this:How do I disable just the trackpad, but not the red pointer mouse or the buttons above/below the trackpad.I did do a search and found a file I can download, but isn't there a keystroke or something built into Ubuntu that would avoid me having to download a third party solution.

Ubuntu :: System After Grub2 But Before Desktop Loads?

Sep 10, 2010

The screen will show a blinking cursor for a few seconds. The keyboard works and a signal is found for the speakers. Then the 'Ubuntu' loading screen will show but at this point the screen would freeze and the keyboard will cease to function. At this point I have to reboot from the on/off switch. It can take several attempts before the desktop will load, or if I'm lucky, it'll load up first time. I've had this problem since 9.10. I'm not quite sure why it's taken me this long to attempt to sort it out.

Fedora :: Operating System Freezes After Desktop Loads

Sep 4, 2009

Just recently installed fedora 11 64-bit on my laptop. Everything was fine until today. Everytime I boot up, it crashes right after the desktop loads. Everything is loaded except the area where the running programs are on the taskbar is just one big white block. And a bubble popup says "New SELinux security alert. AVC denial." but everything is frozen. Can't move the cursor or use keyboard. and nothing is happening on the screen. Completly frozen. Anybody have any ideas on what is wrong and how to fix it?

Programming :: Start Up Script To Execute AFTER Desktop Loads

Oct 22, 2010

I need one, cause I know this is "So easy, a cave-man could do it" (and I can't) yikes.

I need a start up script to execute AFTER my desktop loads. It's for display resolution. I've added the same script in 3 places, and all will execute, but not until I do it manually. It's being over-written by another function...

1 script in /etc/gdm/Init/Default (as per Wiki page, which has a syntax error I found yesterday):

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
# Stolen from the debian kdm setup, aren't I sneaky
# Plus a lot of fun stuff added
# -George

[Code]....

Can I create a run level 7, like rc7.d, that will execute after the desktop loads (and everything else)? I symlinked the second script to level 5 rd5.d, and it didn't go through. I haven't tried level 6.

CentOS 5 :: CentOS 5.4 Hangs Just Before Desktop Loads?

Apr 1, 2010

My Dell poweredge server running CentOS 5.4 and booting kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5. All boot processes seem okay and the graphical screens for CentOS operate, but just before the desktop loads the screen goes blank and the arrow/cursor is being circled by small spheres. This remains indefinitely. While the arrow is being circled, here are the results of 'getinfo.sh device'

Ubuntu / Apple :: 10.10 Trackpad On MacBook7,1?

Jan 20, 2011

I tried Ubuntu 10.10 on my MacBook, but I had a few problems. They, surprisingly, were not the problems most people have.

1) The trackpad had the "Tap to Click" setting on, but I couldn't find out how to change it.

2) The clicking was only right click.

I also had a few other problems that I will mention, but you aren't obligated to answer them:

1) I couldn't find my wireless network.

2) BootCamp isn't partitioning, so I can't really install Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Disable Trackpad While Typing On Mac?

May 23, 2011

I'm having trouble typing in ubuntu on my macbook because my palms sometimes touch the trackpad while I'm typing. I've seen a ton of posts about how to disable the trackpad when a USB mouse is connected, but I just want to write a scripthat I can run to unconditionally disable the trackpad and turn it back on. I don't care if it requires an extra keystroke or even if I have to write 2 scripts - one to turn it off and another to turn it on.

My Thinkpad R32 keyboard & trackpad will not work when booted off the HD with 9.04, I can plug in an external USB keyboard & that works fine.
If I start the laptop from a Ubuntu LiveCd the keyboard & trackpad work fine.
There must be some system file disabling the onboard keyboard, I have used Keyboard Preferences to try different keyboard models.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Magic Trackpad Not Auto Connecting?

May 23, 2011

I have an HP 6735s laptop that I have connected an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Trackpad to via bluetooth on 11.04.

When I login the keyboard automatically connects via bluetooth (once the gnome-bluetooth applet boots), however, I need to manually go into the applet and click connect for the trackpad. I can then run a script to start touchegg.

How I do set up the trackpad to auto-connect? I am guessing the built-in trackpad on the laptop is overriding it?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Trackpad Not Working On Macbook Pro 5,3 After Update To 11?

May 25, 2011

I have a dual-booting MacBook 5,3 which I was running 10 on with no trouble. I just upgraded to 11, and the trackpad doesn't work at all - no clicks, no movement. I've restarted several times - no change. Any ideas as to what I can do?I did play with my drivers a bit in 10 to get the trackpad to behave a bit more smoothly - but that was a while ago, and I'm not sure exactly what I can do.

Ubuntu / Apple :: Trackpad Disabled On Macbook Pro 7 , 1 / Resolve This?

Sep 1, 2011

I am using a 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Intel Macbook Pro 7,1, and I am having trouble with the trackpad. At first, it was working fine. But for some reason now, it only works about a minute after I start into Ubuntu, and then the cursor movement with the trackpad is disabled. However, I can still do mouse clicks with the trackpad, but to move the cursor I have to use a USB mouse. I am not sure what's causing this. I followed the instructions for installing Ubuntu on a Macbook Pro, so all the correct drives should be installed.

Red Hat :: Mouse Properties Has No Trackpad Info In It?

Apr 5, 2011

I am having issues with the gpu drivers and the touchpad, both of which seem to be traced back to xorg.conf.I can set the proper resolution using nvidia-settings, but it resets to 800x600 on restart no matter what I do. I have used the gui to save, I have tried nvidia-xconfig, and I have tried to just editing the xorg myself, but it always goes back.I am having even worse problems with the trackpad. I downloaded and installed the synaptics package, but nothing I do changes the trackpad settings. Mouse properties has no trackpad info in it.How do you properly configure resolution and trackpad settings on rhel?

Ubuntu / Apple :: No Wireless Networks Shown - Trackpad Not Working

Jan 10, 2010

I recently used BootCamp on my MacBook (2.1) to partition my hdd and install Ubuntu (karmic), and I am having trouble with the wireless connection. On the mac partition it works fine, but on Ubuntu there are no wireless networks shown in the network-dialog. Previously I had only a Linux-partition on the same machine, and this was not a problem. Also the trackpad does not work at all. Does anyone know what to do about the network connection? Also I should mention that I first installed the AMD64-version of Ubuntu, which worked fine even though my macbook uses intel. Im tempted to just go back to the amd-version, any views on that?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Keyboard And Trackpad Not Working Properly After Upgrade

May 6, 2010

My keboard was working perfectly (backlight, inverse FN) until upgrade from karmic to lucid. Now neither backlight neither inverting FN (in pommed.conf) works- backlight is always off, FN is default OSX-like.
Trackpad worked "almost superb" (missing click with one finger and drag with another!!) but after upgrade (=no mode udev) event number changes with every reboot so I cannot put configuration based on /dev/input/eventX to Xorg.conf. How can I make it have the same number after reboot now?

Ubuntu / Apple :: Trackpad Not Working After Waking Up From Sleep On Natty?

May 15, 2011

I have had a issue with the trackpad not working (cursor does not move, does not click) after I wake up my MacBook Pro 4,1 from sleep. I am pretty sure this is an X issue and not a driver issue because if I log out the trackpad works again. This is also sporadic. Sometimes it occurs, sometimes it does not. Is there some configuration I need to set to fix this?

Hardware :: Lost Sound And Laptop Trackpad After Ubuntu Upgrade?

Dec 10, 2009

Everything was working when I was on Ubuntu 9.04 but after I upgraded to 9.10 via their upgrade utility. The upgrade failed at the last point of installation (when it tried to install daemon I think). Nevertheless, after the reboot I was on ubuntu 9.10. But the sound stopped working as well as the mouse trackpad on my laptop. I remember that during the installation when it asked if I wanted to keep the old sound configuration file, I clicked yes. So is there I way to fix/reinstall the sound driver and the tackpad? In the sound hardware setting window, no device is listed. I'm pretty sure that my hardwares work on ubuntu 9.10 as the sound and trackpad work fine using the ubuntu 9.10 live CD.

Debian Multimedia :: Pasting Not Possible With Multitouch Trackpad?

Sep 25, 2015

I switch over from old laptop to a new one. This one has now a multitouch touchpad wich annoys me. With my old laptop i could select a text and paste it with middle mouse button or with 2 buttons enabled from the touchpad.

Now i moved my existing ssd drive from my old laptop to my new one, so the software and configuration is the same.

I can pasting nothing anymore by pushing in left&right on the touchpad. Due the multitouch i presume? Copy/Paste aint working anymore with urxvt. I would like to get this behaviour back because it's plain simple, fast and works almost everywhere.

C/P Still works with the middle mouse buttons but i don't use a mouse all the time.

How to get pasting work with multitouch?

Fedora Hardware :: Random Clicks From Trackpad On 12?

This was not a problem with Fedora 11 live or Windows 7 (dual boot).

OpenSUSE :: Possible To Have Trackpad & Cord Mouse Going At Different Speeds?

Mar 13, 2010

I've got a few things I need sorted out with my openSUSE installation:

1- I've read all the tutorials, done all the walkthroughs. How do I install APT, Synaptic & gdebi? To get Synaptic & gdebi, I need APT & everything tells me it's in the repos if I search for it. Nothing. How do I install it?
2- Is it possible to have my trackpad & cord mouse going at different speeds? My cord mouse is fine speed, but my trackpad is lightning fast & hard to control.
3- I have a secondary monitor.
4- Banshee doesn't play anything. It's a similiar situation to APT, but I still can't find anything. I've resorted to using Songbird (which I'm fine with), but it's podcast support is REALLY shotty.
5- Has anyone figured out how to manage an iPod Nano 5th gen yet? I'm pretty sure the answer is no, but... maybe...
6- Am I able to replace my HOME folder with an external hard drive? So that when I download something it goes to the hard drive, rather than the downloads folder.
