Can't turn on finger touch once it has been turned off

crowtrobot commented 8 years ago

After disabling finger touch, I can't enable it again. The only way to make the touchpad work again is to remove the extension and reboot (or log out and log in). If I enable the extension it immediately disables finger touch.

As a work-around, I can uninstall the extension, log out and log back in, run "dconf reset -f "/org/gnome/shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator/"" to clear its settings, and install the extension again.

touchpad-indicator.log is empty, so I don't have any logging info I can send.

Maybe this will help

@turbovan @genofire Could you kindly provide me the whole journal? Output of xinput would also help.

turbovan commented 7 years ago

Sorry for the long delay. My journal is massive so I can't post it all. However there is nothing else in there related.

Looking in the code, there is an infinite recursion at this line: if (state != this._CONF__fingertouchEnabled) this.gsettings.set_boolean('fingertouch-enabled', state);

So I guess the gsettings call does not change the setting. I have also tried with both switch methods selected in the extension preferences - no change.

Here is my xinput:

same problem with me on a Lenovo Thinkpad yoga 370. It worked again with the solution from genofire.

askmrsinh commented 5 years ago

Sorry for addressing this so late but I am working on a new version of the extension and would like to round up this issue.

Could you please help me with the device make/model number? Also, I would need the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices to work on a potential fix.

crowtrobot commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I no longer own that machine so I can't provide any output from /proc. I can tell you that it was a Thinkpad yoga 460. Hopefully someone else with a similar device can help.
