Public bug reported: I use: lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS Release: 10.04
Until kernel 2.6.32-27-generic, the touchpad was having problem to turn-on after being turn-off once. It was dead after. The work-around solution was to add "quiet splash i8042.nomux" instead of "quiet splash" at the grub configuration file. The same if you use Burg instead of Grub. This was working until kernel 2.6.32-27. See these bugs for this workaround solution: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/514682 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/374459 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13363 With the new kernel 2.6.32-28 the following is happening: a) without the i8042.nomux --> it has the same old problem. If you turn-it off with the button, it cannot turn-on again. b) with the i8042.nomux --> the touchpad works only until the Login screen. After you login, it stops working completely. So, in the new kernel, something changed? It works fine if I load the previous kernel: (copy from burg.cfg) menuentry 'Ubuntu GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-27-generic-pae' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os --group group_main { insmod ext2 set root='(hd0,2)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 4cfd7881-40ca-47aa-82e5-6dcd3496db09 echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.32-27-generic-pae ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-27-generic-pae root=UUID=4cfd7881-40ca-47aa-82e5-6dcd3496db09 ro quiet splash i8042.nomux echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-27-generic-pae } Thank you! P.S. how I attach the *.log files I produced??? (uname-a.log, dmesg.log, etc.) ???? ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/726458 Title: Acer 5738z + kernel 2.6.32-28-generic-pae + touchpad does not work -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
