This question has been asked before and I have tried so far some solutions but nothing seems to be working. I have Ubuntu 17.10 with Unity, GNOME and MATE. And in all 3, disable while typing does not work. Here is what I have tried.
Touchpad-Indicator.
As synclient does not work on Ubuntu 17.10 so touchpad-indicator also crashes.
Add options to config file of libinput
The second solution I tried was to change my libinput file to follows
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput touchpad"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "DisableWhileTyping" "true"
Option "Tapping" "true"
EndSectionThis has no effect.
Thinking that
libinputmay be conflicting withsynaptic, I tried uninstallingsynapticand also use somesynapticcommands.syndaemon -i 0.5 -t -K -RThis also has no effect.
My xinput output is
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ xwayland-pointer:13 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ xwayland-relative-pointer:13 id=7 [slave pointer (2)]
⣠Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
â³ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ xwayland-keyboard:13 id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
Any idea on what should I try now? On Windows, the touchpad blocker software works fine for my touch pad. Everything else on Ubuntu's touchpad works fine.
Thanks!
