| noalternative | Just installed budgie on Thinkpad x140e, and everything looks great but I am having trouble with the curser when I use touchpad. It is jerking around and won't select or click anything. | 17:37 |
|---|---|---|
| noalternative | I am not sure what is wrong but it is and amd based thinkpad, so it maybe different that what budgie is generally installed on. I am using a desktop mouse and it works ok, but I want my touchpad. | 17:38 |
| noalternative | Anyway I need some help with this. | 17:38 |
| noalternative | If anyone can help PM me. | 17:39 |
| Eickmeyer | noalternative: AMD Graphics by any chance too? | 17:52 |
| noalternative | yes it has amd graphics | 17:52 |
| Eickmeyer | noalternative: You might have to change your linux command line in grub. I have AMD graphics as well and experienced the same problem with the mouse cursor. | 17:53 |
| noalternative | ok | 17:53 |
| Eickmeyer | AMD graphics on a laptop tends to have issues. I have something that worked. Do you know how to edit the command line in grub? | 17:54 |
| noalternative | No, I need some instructions. | 17:54 |
| Eickmeyer | Okay. Open a terminal, type "sudoedit /etc/default/grub", enter your password. | 17:56 |
| noalternative | Ok. I have this file opened. | 17:57 |
| Eickmeyer | Make sure the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT matches the one here: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/V7RrGHpMZP/ | 17:57 |
| Eickmeyer | Ctrl-x, y (to save changes) | 17:58 |
| Eickmeyer | then "sudo update-grub" | 17:58 |
| Eickmeyer | Reboot to apply the change. | 17:58 |
| noalternative | Eickmeyer: I did all that but got an inconclusive responce, when I entered update-grub. | 18:33 |
| noalternative | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/h4vz7F7fCh/ | 18:33 |
| noalternative | When I rebooted, I still had the problem | 18:33 |
| Eickmeyer | noalternative: Uhoh... you accidentally uncommented the first line. sudoedit /etc/default/grub and make sure the # is still there on the first line. | 18:35 |
| noalternative | Here is what I have in /etc/default/grub https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/tc6vdQWv37/ | 18:39 |
| Eickmeyer | noalternative: Okay, that should be correct, assuming that's all you have in that file. | 18:41 |
| Eickmeyer | sudo update-grub | 18:41 |
| noalternative | i did that and still got that response. | 18:42 |
| Eickmeyer | noalternative: Then you've done something to your system. I'm going to refer you to #ubuntu and see if there's anything they can do. | 18:43 |
| Eickmeyer | So, please join #ubuntu since this is not an Ubuntu Budgie specific problem. | 18:43 |
| noalternative | ok, thanks for trying. | 18:43 |
