Re: [Bug 1285934] Re: track pad often freezes or gets jerky - it works intermittently

 

I wouldn't know how to reproduce the problem, John,  so I would say, "no".
Joseph, I may have time to try that kernal tonight late, or else tomorrow.

This is probably unrelated, but I 'broke' unity for about a week by
apparently installing the wrong video drivers. I just got it working again
yesterday. Then within a short time, the mouse stopped working again. Also,
although the clock was there then, it is gone again today. Just a tidbit of
info.




Be *Excellent to each other!*

Title:
  track pad often freezes or gets jerky - it works intermittently

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Randomly, the trackpad will stop movingthe pointer around the screen
  reliably. It may freeze for a second, or several. Or it may repeatedly
  freeze and release a few times a second, making it jerk across the
  screen. Scrolling is affected the same way. I found a workaround that
  involves turning psmouse off and on again. That seems to work.
  Sometimes just for a few minutes, other times for a few days.

  Second problem: The system clock disappeared from the 'taskbar' at the
  top. The clock settings in the system settings menu was grayed out. I
  found a procedure to turn that on and off again too. So far so good.

  The first problem might have happened a little bit under 13.04 as
  well, I'm not certain if the first time was before or after the
  upgrade to 13.10

  Sorry I'm a noob. I'm not even sure if this is the right way to make a
  bug report.
