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? :)
Just tried to turn off the mouse and executing kded5 restart No luck :-(
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 Before turning off mouse: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ MX Anywhere 2 id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] After turning off: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ MX Anywhere 2 id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
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.
I do not see this happening anymore
