Artful running on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Yoga (with a touch screen) stops working after suspend - not completely but unusably. Some but not all mouse actions still work - including motion - but...

I'll reply to myself again. It appears that the device number is not statically assigned and
if you add a device or turn one off as I did the device number changes.

I found a shell script on...

I seem to be the only one interested in this problem but in case there is someone else out there with similar problems, I'll give the fix I found.
I haven't yet discovered how to do this at...

I've made a little progress - for those of you with similar problems. When I run "sudo evtest" I see the following:

No device specified, trying to scan all of /dev/input/event*

Thanks for your help but I tried that. Sorry should have mentioned but I tried many methods I found on the web without success. After installing configure-trackpoint from the linrunner repository,...

I am trying to configure the trackpoint on the machine in the title using the latest Ubuntu (16.04 Xenial) with Gnome as my desktop and running systemd. I've read around online and cannot find any...

Thanks kurt but I tried that and it had no effect on the touchpad - it continued to work even when the switch was set to off. I've used that before and it worked but not this time.

I have found a workaround. First I typed

xinput list

on the command line to find the touchpad device id.

It came up as SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11

Then I put the following in...

I'm using a Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen running ubuntu. A couple of days ago I upgraded to Ubuntu 16.04 running Gnome as my desktop.
I normally disable the trackpad (why do they bother with that - it...

OK - I've solved it. Embarrassing! I had been in China and, while there, put a couple of IP addresses of dropbox servers that worked there in my /etc/hosts file. Obviously they don't work outside...

I have two laptops, both running ubuntu 14.04 with gnome. Until a couple of weeks ago I was using dropbox on both. Now neither is able
to connect to the dropbox website - with either google-chrome...

I had a similar problem and finally installed from the tar.gz package

As usual, download emacs-24.1-rc.tar.gz from here

Thanks Vibration - works perfectly!

I can report that an attempt to compile the source code

Has anyone succeeded in installing sage 4.7.1 on oneiric (64bit)?

The binary:

Thanks slooksterpsv - your method gave me the clue to solve my problem. Instead of making a new file in ~/.config/autostart as you suggested, I deleted compiz-1.desktop from that folder. Then on...

I've done some research on why this proposed method of installation fails to work on my laptop (Thinkpad T-410).

I reinstalled gnome3 as in the first post here from an essentially fresh install...

As I said running from Natty, and in a bash shell, I followed the instructions to the letter. That included the first instruction, namely,

Running Natty I followed the instructions to the letter and got

Just to wrap this up - it was a hardware fault which Lenovo fixed by replacing the keyboard. The laptop is under a year old btw and the Lenovo engineer who fixed it claimed that the problem was due...

My problem is that in a random but frequent fashion left click on the laptop mouse buttons fails to work and that, again frequently, random pastes from the clipboard appear in the window where the...

I'm not sure if this is related but I'm getting random freezes of the cursor, of the (button) mouse, and of ability to...

I have been running Lenovo/IBM laptops with only Linux installed for about 6 years. I have had new motherboards, new hard drives, new screens. On no occasion was there a problem.

I sent a laptop running Linux to Lenovo earlier this year - no problem.

I have a Lenovo laptop and have not had a problem with servicing though I exclusively run Linux.

One thought about your problem: take the battery out and unplug the charger, then hold the power...
