I had the same problem on my MacBook. mouseemu is definitely the culprit. Instead of removing it though, edit /etc/default/mouseemu and uncomment and change the last line to:
TYPING_BLOCK="-typing-block 0" It appears mouseemu has a feature to disable the trackpad while typing. It seems to be mistaking an external mouse for the trackpad because the mouse gets disabled but NOT the trackpad. Perhaps this is a usb device naming issue. -- External usb Mouse Stops responding when holding down a key on the keyboard. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
