Everynow and then, my touchpad doesn't work in OpenBox.

It's really annoying. Arch runs amazingly well, but every now and then, my touchpad stops working. The mouse is still there, and I can move it, but mouse clicks (using the physical buttons, aswell as touchpad taps) just don't register. I've tried opening a terminal and restarting HAL when this happens, but it doesn't help.
Any ideas?

Thank you for the advice. I've just checked my Xorg.0.log as its just happened, and I've seen this.

This then repeats down the log.
However, right now I cannot close windows, or interact with task on PyPanel with my touchpad, but can use it within the firefox window. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

  • ZiiO 7 boots till the lock screen then... (doesn't work and flickers)

    ... then the touchscreen doesn't work and the backlight of the screen flickers. I already wrote to the customer service. This post is just to ask: is out the anyone which experienced the same problem?
    To be honest this ZiiO is not mine. Mine works perfectly and I'm very happy with it, that's why I suggested a friend to buy one too. He said it worked for about 20min then...
    I already tried: a couple of "0 seconds power button reset"; recovery mode factory reset; updating firmware from microSD (.00.28 to 2.003).
    Thanks

    Hello Sukazza,
    Welcome to Creative forums!
    Did he install any third party software before this happened? I experience a similar case once but I was able to remove the corrupt app by running on safe mode. While you are powering it on, press and hold down the Menu button. Once you're on safe mode, do a factory reset (I know you wrote in your post above that you've done factory reset but worth a try). If this doesn't work, I suggest you contact the store (if you are still within the return period) and have your unit replaced otherwise, wait for the reply from customer support and have the unit RMA'ed. Hope this helps.

  • Satellite PRO A200-1S1 with Windows 7 x32. Touchpad doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I Installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1S1, retrieved all the drivers on Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the web camera that didn't work even with previous s.o. XP or Vista...). But my Touchpad doesn't work at all.... No Fn+F9, no driver, nothing works. And in my control panel-device manager seems to be everything ok.
    Any suggestion?

    Hi
    Never had any problems with the touchpad using Win 7 32bit.
    I recommend installing VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility to get the FN button functionality. Then you could try FN + F9
    Both tools can be downloaded from Toshiba European driver page there you should choose Sat L500 series because I didnt find mentioned Win 7 software for A200 series.
    Check also the touchpad drivers which I found in L500 download area (Alps a Synaptics)

    Hi candy, glad that you found that Shockwave Flash Object, it works with the Flash files and is very important
    The NPSWF files that you said are not there, those are for the Firefox browser or Chrome or some other browser. If you use Firefox and want the Flash Player for that, then close all of your browsers so you are only looking at your Desktop.
    Click on this Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop. Then RUN it from your Desktop, and after it is finished Installing, Restart your computer.
    Then Using Firefox go to the plug-ins and find a SWF vs 10.0.45.2 and make sure it is Enabled. This is just like the Shockwave Flash Object for Internet Explorer, but it is the one that works with Firefox.
    Let me know if that is what you wanted to do. If you don't use Firefox, but Chrome or another browser, then this will work for that one also.
    If you don't use another browser, then don't do any of this. I just thot maybe you did and that is why you were concerned that the NPSWF files were not there.
    Thanks,

  • Touchpad doesn't work - HP Pavilion DV4 - 2120ca

    Re: Pavilion DV4-2120ca
    Touchpad doesn't work after cleaning out the dust collection in the fan, heat sink area.  New Therma paste was applied.  
    Both the keyboard & touchpad were the 2 things that didn't work following reassembly.  The keyboard didn't work but able to use USB wireless mouse.  Couple days ago the replacement battery finally arrived, installed and charged for 12 hours.  After restart, the keyboard works as it should. 
    Unfortunately, touchpad still doesn't work. The light switch above the touchpad works, clicking on it turns white & amber but any movement scrolling doesn't work.
    We tried the following, but unsuccessful
    double tapping top left corner
    Hard Reset 
    Uninstalled ALPS & Synaptics -- reinstalled , restarted
    Updated Windows, HP, BIOS, Drivers
    Don't recall during reassembly if touchpad has a cable or connector.  If so, perhaps worth try to disconnect & reconnect to ensure correct connection.
    What do u advise to try next?
    Thank u
    ~ Gayle ~

    Did you connect the ribbon cable for the Touchpad. Often times there is one for the keyboard and one for the touchpad separately. Hopefully you have not damaged the ribbon cable. Just make sure you push it all the way in and seat it properly.

  • I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

    I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
    ^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
    I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
    Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • HP Photosmart 6520 Server Connection Error: -1: Apps don't work and Scan to email doesn't work

    My HP PhotoSmart 6520 has a persistent error to connect to the server and therefore Apps and Scan to email doesn't work.
    I have manually set DNS to 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, I have installed latest driver on my Macbook pro, I have updated firmware, but still not working. Weird is also that in my ePrintCenter, the Apps I see there are not in line with thos visible on the printer.
    Detail is that I have set up the printer on a Windows PC but recently changed to Mac.
    Printing, scan to Computer all works fine.
    Help! I have read a lot on forums but so far no solution for me!

    Hi Jack6520,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to connect to the apps and use the scan to email feature of your Photosmart 6520 printer due to a server connection error.
    First off, thank you for the very detailed information, I really appreciate it.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
    When you set the manual DNS servers, did you also set a manual IP address for the printer?
    Have you changed routers or internet service providers recently?  Have you updated the firmware on the router? If you have an ISP-provided router, do you know if they pushed out a firmware update?
    Have you recently installed any new anti-virus/malware software?  If so it may have blocked the ports the printer uses to communicate.  I’ve included a post by VisionAiry titled “Check the Anti-Virus for Blocked Ports and Timed Scans”. 
    Do you have a guest network setup? Please Print a Network Configuration page. It will let you know how many networks the printer sees. A guest network will have the same name as your network with a tag about it being the guest network.
    Previously did you customize the printer’s ePrint email address? I’m asking this because I might ask you to disable then enable the web services.  If we have to take this step you will lose the customized ePrint email address without any ability to get it back.
    What version of Mac OS X are you using? whatsmyos.com
    Are there any cables other than the power cable connected to the printer?
    Thank you.

  • My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.

    It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
    Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
    Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
    And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:

  • My iPod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work

    My ipod 5th generation won't turn on and my middle button doesn't work! What will I do? It all starmed when I updated iOS 8. It would be fine but would shut down at random, now it won't turn on at all!!! when I press the lock button to turn it on the Apple sign would come up for about 5/10 minutes!! so what will I do???

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Fn + F6 to lock/unlock touchpad doesn't work with Windows 10

    Hello,i have G580 i'v done an upgrade from 8.1 to windows 10so i'v have a small issue with touchpad :Fn+F6 to lock touchpad doesn't work when it was working as well in 8.1scrolling line at touchpad doesn't work to. so how to fix it, or will lenovo release drivers for windows 10 as she did for previous windowsis getting newer driver from elantech or synaptic website will resolve the problem ? cuz i did install 8.1 driver elantech and keyboard+mouse stopped working before reseting windows 10 upcoming driver. Best regards.

    I have the same problem. Untilthey update the ELAN driver I go in to Settings, Devices, Mouse and Touchpad, Additional Mouse Options and disabel  the ELAN driver. You can still turn it back on with Fn F6, but you have to go through the same steps again to turn it off. The nice thing is, it doesn't go back to enabled after awhile when you havent' been using the laptop.for awhile as it did before. The bad side is it takes about half a dozen key strokes to get to he disable. Hope this helps for now.
