time next year, there will be no Ubuntu (or Debian I think, given that Rapsbian doesn't work with the KVM either) distribution I can use, as at that point 18.04 will be end of support. I shall then start having to try and learn other distros to see if any of them have fixed/failed to create

I don't have a "Unifying receiver". That's just the name which appears and/or disappears when I plug in the KVM to the PC. The KVM in all cases is directly connected to the keyboard/mouse/screen at one end, and USB ports/HDMI at the PC end. -- Original Message -- From: "Hui Wang" <1930.

In the standard 3.13 kernels for 14.04 the touchpad wasn't supported at all. Therefore it worked, but it was impossible to turn off its most irritating feature which was tap to click. Most implementations at least give the option to disable this when typing, but the default generic implementatio

OK, I think I may understand why this happens. When a new user is created, the first time emacs is run it creates .emacs.d in the user's home directory.
