In case it's useful in any way, I've started using the mainstream kernel 3.4.0-030400rc2-generic-pae #201204072235 , which doesn't have the psmouse-working-after-suspend bug I get in the ubuntu kernel, and therefore I don't get a crash. But I suspect this is because I don't have to unload psmouse,

Hi Maarten, I installed the synaptics driver, and rebooted into the standard kernel, and the standard kernel was really unstable so I rebooted back into mainstream kernel. I'm a bit concerned about the security implications of running an old mainstream kernel, but at least the mainstream kernel i

I'm using the mainstream kernel for now. It's rock solid. It just doesn't have VMWare, or full apparmor support, or ipv6. On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Aneesh Kumar K.V wrote: > This is really making me look for alternatives, Do we have some > workaround for this ? Does disabling synaptic he

I worked around this bug in the end by adding the following script into /etc/pm/sleep.d directory. I created this script in July, and have never seen the problem recur since. I'm using an Acer 1810tz laptop. #! /bin/sh rfkills=$(ls /sys/class/rfkill) #echo $rfkills case $1 in suspend|suspe

My experience: - after suspend, my touchpad mouse doesn't work (this itself is a new bug) - I do 'sudo rmmod psmouse' then 'sudo modprobe psmouse' to reactive the mouse - ... except, recently, when I do 'sudo rmmod psmouse', X crashes with the bug in this bug report -- You received this bug noti

I can reproduce it fairly reliably by doing: - suspend - after suspend, 'sudo rmmod psmouse' Sometimes, it's enough to just do 'sudo rmmod psmouse' (obviously if this fails, you will need to 'sudo modprobe psmouse' before trying the first method, using suspend) -- You received this bug notificat
