... a Perl (or even Python) one-liner, left as an exercise for the reader... It's just getting the 2nd field, the PID, out of the ps output for that syndaemon process. Rather than mucking around with Ruby, Perl, Python, and all sorts of interpreters that may need to be specially installed on a system, ...

... GRUB to choose the OS, but once I have chosen mint the keyboard becomes disabled. The only change that was done prior to this issue was that I put syndaemon in the startup applications list. I had a look through the xorg.0.log file and it also looks as if the xorg is attempting to apply the synaptic ...

... set to "Disable Touchpad While Typing". This setting doesn't seem to have any effect. I next did a forum search and learned about the 'syndaemon' command. I tested the command on my own system with success, and over the phone I walked her through adding the following line to her Startup ...

Hi thanks the first app works but has no automatic settings so is not quite what I want. But the second app looks to be just what I need ... except it seems to have some weird problem - not sure if you had this or solved it (also doesn't start when called from menu): ande@ace:~$ touchpad-indicator #...

Hello anderigs ! I don't know anything about syndaemon , but these are 2 alternatives for disabling the touchpad ! 1. The cinnamon applet : http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/44 2. I use a different touchpad-indicator ( it has the ...

Hi another weird thing in cinnamon I just noticed. My trusty startup application: syndaemon -i 0.5 -K -R starts but does not seem to have any effect when in cinnamon of deactivating the touchpad when the mouse is attached. Any ideas? There seems to be no option anymore ...

... (see synclient(1)). * It also provides a daemon to disable touchpad while typing at the keyboard and thus avoid unwanted mouse movements (see syndaemon(1)). I found these techniques very difficult to learn, but after a few months I am getting better at it. I still don't think it is a functional ...

This issue is all over the ubuntu forums and 99% of those experiencing it are running Oneiric. Some think it is kernel related while others subscribe to the lightdm syndaemon as the issue. I am now running Mint 12x64 but I am using gdm to test the latter theory so we'll see how it goes

Could this be it? "SOLUTION! for this bug is: lightdm starts a syndaemon instance which MUST be terminated upon session startup. Otherwise two syndaemon instances compete for disabling/enabling touchpad, and will eventually get out of sync. This was simply ...

... The job has to be triggered after logging in, not before. If you use auto-login, all you need to do to make it work is add a delay before syndaemon gets called: @reboot sleep 30 ; DISPLAY=:0.0 syndaemon -d -i 1 I used 30 (seconds) as an example. Of course, YMMV, so change the number to ...

... cron table or script. Now since all the script does is perform this command and nothing else, you could just forgo the script and directly add syndaemon as a cron job. Modify your cron table to read as follows: @reboot DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/syndaemon -d -i 1 See if this would do it. HTH.
