| achiang | hello, i was trying to fix my trackpad in 14.04 and it seems i broke it worse | 08:28 |
|---|---|---|
| achiang | i dropped in a 50-synaptics.conf into /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ | 08:29 |
| achiang | it didn't have the effect that i wanted, namely it killed my trackpad | 08:29 |
| achiang | so I removed the file and rebooted | 08:29 |
| achiang | but now the trackpad still refuses to boot | 08:29 |
| achiang | question is: does X cache settings somewhere? | 08:29 |
| achiang | sorry, trackpad refuses to work, not boot | 08:30 |
| tjaalton | no | 08:30 |
| achiang | hm, then my only other theory is that i flipped some hw register or something, and now it's persisten? | 08:31 |
| achiang | the attempted changes, that is | 08:31 |
| achiang | does that sound plausible? | 08:32 |
| tjaalton | not to me | 08:32 |
| achiang | hm | 08:32 |
| achiang | fwiw, i was experiencing the symptoms here, and dropped in the linked conf file -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/657258/chrome-two-finger-scroll-then-right-clicks | 08:33 |
| achiang | any ideas on how to recover would be greatly appreciated... | 08:33 |
| achiang | clickpad still responds to clicks, but can't move the cursor around | 08:34 |
| tjaalton | shutdown, remove battery and wait for a bit? | 08:35 |
| achiang | ha. well, it's an xps13 so battery seems not removable | 08:36 |
| achiang | this is interesting... output from xinput list | 08:38 |
| achiang | achiang@twiga:~$ xinput list | 08:38 |
| achiang | ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] | 08:38 |
| achiang | ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4[slave pointer (2)] | 08:38 |

| achiang | ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)] | 08:38 |
| achiang | looks like i have 2 touchpads configured? | 08:39 |
| achiang | maybe the 06CB:76AD device is conflicting with the TouchPad device? | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | i don't know | 08:39 |

| tseliot | isn't one a touchscreen? | 09:04 |
| achiang | tseliot: the ELAN device is a touchscreen | 09:52 |
| achiang | the other two devices are both touchpads, I think | 09:52 |
| tseliot | messed up udev rules? | 09:53 |
| tseliot | if you change a property on one touchpad, what happens to the other one? | 09:54 |
| tseliot | (assuming they are the same device) | 09:54 |
| tjaalton | did you muck with bios settings? | 09:57 |
| tjaalton | or change the kernel | 09:57 |
| Sarvatt | achiang: did you install x-x-i-libinput at any point in time? | 10:02 |
| tjaalton | the only proper driver ;) | 10:03 |
| Sarvatt | unless you want to adjust settings in a gui | 10:04 |
| Sarvatt | that isnt gnome not in ubuntu yet :D | 10:04 |
| tjaalton | it's perfect, no need for that | 10:22 |

| jcastro | tseliot: those fixes for getting the krita snap to work, will those also make their way into the ppa drivers? | 15:01 |
| tseliot | jcastro: good point, mamarley, ricotz, the fix for LP: ##1588192 is in both yakkety and xenial-proposed. 361 and 340 are available. I haven't finished my work on 304 yet. | 15:30 |
| mamarley | I guess it also needs to be forward-ported to 367 then. | 15:57 |
| mamarley | Ooh, reported by SABDFL himself. | 15:57 |
| ricotz | tseliot, I see | 16:05 |
| mamarley | ricotz: I am on lunch break so I can go ahead and do 367 now. | 16:06 |
| mamarley | Did you want 364 done too? | 16:06 |
| ricotz | mamarley, go ahead :), I am busy currently | 16:07 |
| mamarley | OK | 16:07 |
| tseliot | thanks | 16:13 |
| mamarley | Argh, lots of failed hunks and fuzz. | 16:14 |
| * mamarley loves fixing patches. | 16:14 | |
| mamarley | tseliot: I notice that the patch does not appear to have any support for i386 on amd64 systems. Is that intentional? | 16:17 |
| mamarley | (Can 32-bit snaps even be installed on 64-bit systems?) | 16:18 |
| tseliot | mamarley: I'm not really sure, as I'm not familiar with snaps. mvo wrote the code | 16:19 |
| ricotz | of course this only applies to xenial/yakkety | 16:20 |
| mamarley | Correct. | 16:20 |
| tseliot | yep | 16:20 |
| tseliot | snaps are only for >= xenial | 16:20 |
| mamarley | tseliot: I get all sorts of "Could not find "var-lib-snapd-lib-gl.mount" in the /lib/systemd/system directory of nvidia-367-dev" when building. Is that to be expected? | 16:36 |
| tseliot | mamarley: can I see the full output, please? | 16:37 |
| tseliot | 361 built fine here. I haven't tried 367 yet | 16:37 |
| mamarley | tseliot: It build fine, but displays a bunch of new warnings. http://paste.ubuntu.com/16952010/ | 16:38 |
| tseliot | mamarley: I think dh_systemd is calling the same thing on all the packages, whereas it should only be nvidia-367 | 16:40 |
| tseliot | no -dev, etc. | 16:40 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Did it not display the same warning on 361? | 16:41 |
| tseliot | mamarley: yes, it did it even for transitional packages | 16:42 |
| tseliot | that should be easily fixed | 16:42 |
| mamarley | OK, so it isn't my refresh of the patch causing the problem. | 16:42 |
| tseliot | nope | 16:42 |
| mamarley | I don't know how to fix it though. | 16:44 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Should I just leave it for now since the same patch has already been uploaded into the main respository? | 16:47 |
| tseliot | mamarley: yes, go with what we have right now. I'll fix it myself next week | 16:48 |
| mamarley | OK | 16:48 |
| mamarley | ricotz: I have compiled and tested 367.18 with the snappy patch. Any objection to me copying that to the main PPA? I also have nvidia-settings 367 that I never copied. | 18:52 |
| mamarley | I got 364 patched too, but there is some old orig.tar.gz junk in my staging PPA that is preventing it from compiling unless I do a full source upload, so I propose to upload that directly to the main PPA. | 18:53 |
| mamarley | Nevermind, it was a dummy mistake on my part. The 364 build should work this time. | 19:09 |
| mamarley | ricotz: OK, everything is published now. | 19:52 |
| ricotz | mamarley, checked and copied :) | 20:08 |
