Description Jarl Gjessing 2018-02-08 07:22:53 UTC

Hi
This is a big problem for me since I use the computer for work, and often leave my desk without the mouse, for meetings etc.
I have checked the "disable touchpad..." because the touchpad is annoying when typing :-)
Works fine, but what I would believe is that the touchpad would get enabled again when I turn off the mouse or turn off bluetooth, but it does not. So in this case I have no pointing device at all :-(

I have to logout/in to have the mouse work again (if bluetooth were turned off) or turn on the mouse again.

I suppose the touchpad module doesn't detect/listen for this change. Does it help when you restart "kded5"? @Roman: Any idea? :)

Comment 2 Jarl Gjessing 2018-02-08 10:40:32 UTC

Just tried to turn off the mouse and executing kded5 restart

No luck :-(

Comment 3 Kai Uwe Broulik 2018-02-08 11:47:59 UTC

Can you check in xinput list whether the mouse still shows up afterwards? If so, this is more likely a driver, X or kernel bug.

Not much difference :-(
BTW, it is a logitech MX Anywhere 2 on a Lenovo T560

Comment 5 Roman Gilg 2018-02-08 12:46:33 UTC

The MX Anywhere 2 entry is still there after turning the mouse / bt off. That's not an issue with the mouse kcm then, but with the underlying bt hardware detection I would say.

Comment 6 Jarl Gjessing 2020-10-10 06:50:35 UTC

I do not see this happening anymore
