Please read all of the replies and you will find the temporary solution. This one seems to work for me, but you shouldn't touch your on/off button otherwise this will mess it up your mouse/keyboard functionality.
Run the terminal and paste this: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true Then reboot your laptop. After start-up your touch-pad should work as it should. To undo it when permanent solution will come up just paste: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled false -- Keyboard does not work when touchpad disable button pressed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571638 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
