Just to summarize: I have tested the following: - Ubuntu 12.04 / 12.10 with BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Fedora F16 with BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Arch (since nov 2013) with BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Ubuntu 13.10 LiveCD with BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Ubunu Trusty Daily Live (29/12/2013) with BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Ubunu Trusty Daily Live (29/12/2013) with kernel 3.13rc5 and BIOS 1.06: Initialization issue, with Regression - Ubunu Trusty Daily Live (29/12/2013) with kernel 3.13rc5 and BIOS 1.08: Initialization issue - Ubunu Trusty Daily Live (29/12/2013) with original kernel (3.12.07) and BIOS 1.08: Initialization issue - Arch (29/12/2013) with BIOS 1.08: Initialization issue
Initialization issue means, that just after boot focus cannot shift to another object. You can move the mouse, but cannot select another object by clicking on it. Not with button and not with tipping the pad. Furthermore: Scrolling does not work either. And tipping with both fingers (right click) doesn't work either. It looks as if the pad works for moving the mouse, but nothing else. Work around for this is to switch to console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and switch back (ALT-F7). After that the touchpad works as it should. Regression means that by using the touchpad it works less and less. At first, the button starts disfunctioning. Then tapping the pad disfunctions as well. I have not testes scrolling / right click. It seems to be coupled to usage and not time. If you don't use the pad for a period it will not regress any further. It even seems to 'fix' a little. Workaround for this issue is the same: Switch to console (CTRL- ALT-F1) and switch back (ALT-F7). After that the touchpad works as it should (for a litle while until regression kicks in again). It is save to say that 'Regression' is fixed by BIOS 1.08 and Initialization issue is not. So lets skip the 'Regression' part from now on. What I can test from now on is: - Arch (it's already there, but I don't think you will do tomuch with it... Perhaps for comparison?) - Install 13.10 (not LiveCD, but installation) - Reinstall Trusty Daily Live - Reinstall Trusty Daily Live and add latest upstream kernel. I can install them all together (Different Logical Volumes), but I guess that in the end 'Trusty Daily Live and add latest upstream kernel' is the way to go from her on, yes? My suggestion is: - Install 13.10 and check the outcome with BIOS 1.08 - Reinstall Trusty Daily Live in a new LV. Check the outcome - Add latest upstream kernel. Check the outcome Expectation: I think they will all show the same symptom (initialization issue). From there on 'Trusty Daily Live and latest upstream kernel' is the best way to try and fix. Please let me know if I should proceed with this. P.s. I introduced the workaround in november 2013 and it always seems to fix both 'initialization issue' and 'regression' (in all distributions and all window managers). Don't know for sure, but I think also with Ubuntu 12.10 and even before. And with borth BIOS 1.06 and 1.08. Let me know how to proceed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1096042 Title: [Acer Aspire 5749] Mouse cannot click on items that have focus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1096042/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
