[20:54] I'm having a couple weird issues. My touchpad click stops working randomly. Cursor and scroll continue to work, it's only click that stops. I thought maybe it was tied to suspension or screen lock but no, that doesn't seem to be the case. modprobe -r psmouse | modprobe psmouse don't fix the issue either. [20:54] And now, ctrl-alt-t isn't opening terminal, thought it was before I restarted, to get my mouseclick working again [20:57] Opening Shortcuts and messing around with the settings (but not ultimately changing anything) seems to have fixed opening Terminal. I noticed shortcuts to disable touchpad also, I made sure those were disabled altogether just in case that was my issue. [20:59] I do notice when my click stops working, it seems to be stuck in mouse-click-down mode on whatever screen I'm in. If I'm in a browser, moving the cursor around, moves the text selection/highlight around as if I'm holding click down. [21:08] That's odd - I've had similar problems on Windows that usually required that I reboot it or fiddle around with it to make it work again - I think it's a hardware issue if you're experiencing it on Linux too. [21:09] harrec: ^ [21:21] Well, I've used Win10 on this laptop for about a year now with no issues. And well, I've been on UbuntuStudio for a couple weeks without issues. It just popped up yesterday and persists into today. I also had a lot of updates yesterday that wouldn't auto-upgrade. I had to upgrade each of them manually with apt install. [21:22] harrec: For the upgrade problem, you might just need to do "sudo apt full-upgrade" rather than just "sudo apt upgrade". [21:24] There's also quite a bit of KDE Plasma glitches and bugfixes that might get resolved by adding the Kubuntu Backports repository via "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports". [21:25] Some of which might be keyboard shortcuts. [21:27] 343 upgrades available! woowee [21:27] Thanks I'll give this a shot [21:27] harrec: BACK UP IMPORTANT DATA [21:27] (I've had that PPA backfire a couple of times - it may have just been something weird on my end, but I'd keep a backup juuust in case. :P) [21:28] Yeah I've still got my backup from when I migrated from Windows, nothing new since then [21:28] Thanks for the heads up [21:28] 👍️ [21:28] I don't remember if I tried full-upgrade or not, I think someone on askubuntu had recommended against that in case there were conflicting depends? [21:29] I've had zero problems with full-upgrades - I only ever use full upgrades since a usual upgrade can leave a lot of packages un-updated. [21:29] Seems like a silly thing to recommend against in my opinion. [21:29] The package management system is pretty smart about not removing things you need. [21:30] (I think there's something that can go wrong in certain server setups with a full-upgrade and you'd just use upgrade in those scenarios or something like that, but I've never hit a problem, and if it's about to blow up, it will tell you before nuking everything and you'll have a chance to back out.) [21:46] Well, somewhere in the middle of that upgrade it happened again [21:46] Anything I can do to troubleshoot it while it's happening? [21:53] What was the error? [21:53] The click not working [21:53] I have cursor movement but no click [21:54] Weird. [21:54] Sounds like a hardware issue. [21:54] It acts like it's stuck "clicked" [21:54] It was fine for the past year before installing Ubuntustudio [21:55] Well but to be fair, it worked fine for the previous week too, so I can't rule out hardware [21:55] Oh. [21:55] -_-' [21:55] i just grabbed my little wireless mouse out of my travel bag [21:55] ...it was on [21:56] That would do it. [21:56] lol, oh man. [21:56] And, to be honest, I've had that happen to me. It's like, "WTH is going on?????" and then I realize my mouse connected and nothing is working. [21:57] So, my assessment was right. Hardware issue. I'll stop short of saying user error. [21:58] :) haha well thanks as always [21:59] Hehe, no problem.
