[opensuse] 42.1 disable touchpad in LXDE
Hi synaptics is no longer available in 42.1. How do we turn off the touchpad to prevent accidentally touching it whilst typing? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Are you saying the following files for 13.1 are not available on 42.1 gsynaptics-0.9.16-23.1.3.x86_64 gsynaptics-lang-0.9.16-23.1.3.noarch xf86-input-synaptics-1.7.1-2.1.2.x86_64 That doesn't make sense to me. These are the packages that allow the 1-2 sec disable while typing deactivation of the touchpad. Without those, everybody with a touchpad would be screwed. Have you checked for those package names? (or maybe a renaming -- for god knows what reason) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yep. Thanks. You put us on the right track. We used synaptics before, now it's not available without losing the whole of plasma 5. The alternatives you give are great. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Actually, no. They don't work. There is no setting to turn off the keyboard whilst typing. In kde4 there is the option of synapticks but LXDE in 42.1 it is not possible to install. Any ideas?

man syndaemon add syndaemon -i 2 somewhere in session startup files. That's what those control panel applets did anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I'm not familiar with LXDE, sorry. You can also add your script to /etc/X11/Xsession.d, it should then be available to each DE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I have to open a terminal and enter: syndaemon -d manully. each time I log in:( Adding the line to either .profile or .bashrc starts 3 syndaemon
