[SOLVED] Touchpad Indicator won't disable my touchpad
Posted: Fri Jul 03, 2020 11:33 pm
My computer is a Lenovo Ideapad 330-15ARR running MX-19.2 AHS. I have Touchpad Indicator set to disable the touchpad when a mouse is plugged in and also while typing but the touchpad remains active unless I disable it in Settings -> Mouse and Touchpad, which I'm doing as a work-around but it's a pain to re-enable it via the Super key and keyboard menu navigation if something happens to my mouse. It can be done though.
Things I've tried: changing the mouse, booting with kernels 5.7, 5.6 and 5.4, booting from a standard MX-19.1_x64 February snapshot live USB (kernel 4.19.0-6.) It seems to not work with this particular touchpad. I'm posting here rather than filing a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/touchpad-indicator because MXPI shows the version is 1.1.0-1mx19+1 indicating that it may be a modified version for MX (?) rather than the standard latest stable version which is I think 0.7.something, or maybe I'm thinking of something else. If I was going to report a bug I would need to know the actual version number MX's version is built from. (There may even be a newer version that fixes the problem: https://github.com/atareao/Touchpad-Indicator)
Edit: the changelog in Touchpad-Indicator-master/debian/changelog says the latest version is 2.2.2-0extras19.04.1.
