lenovo trackpad and mouse clicks failing on ubuntu 12 and ubuntu hangs and crashes

Asked by Sagar

i just installed the latest desktop edition of ubuntu, but the mouse click on trackpad and the trackpad itself doesn't seem to work properly ... ubuntu crashes up, it hangs up i have to restart the session again.

i have configured the keyboard and mouse settings properly, does anyone know what i am missing here ?

i thought ubuntu never crashed /// but it seems other way round here

i am very surprised to see Ubuntu crashing and hanging like windows ....even if i close the laptop lid and reopen it, Ubuntu hangs up and it becomes unresponsive...

don't know what is happening, long back i had this 8 and 10 version which were good and fast ...i am doubtful about this 12.10 release it doesnt look fast, seems problem with multi-tasking as well.

You have a VERY young release, as it matures it will improve.

Seems that tap-clicking and dragging needs to be enabled in System Preferences

andrew, i hope you are right ... i have already enabled the tap clicking and dragging as suggested by you.

what do you think should i keep the same version for now or revert it to a earlier version? if i shud revert to a earlier version according to you which version shud i get installed.

please advise

thanks

Try the boot option:

i8024.nopnp

Works on most Sony Vaios. May work for you.

No it's an option you apply to grub, it makes the kernel act differently and may help. These options are set at boot, hence it being called a 'boot option'

Yes but not new to using the web and finding out. I'm sure you've done that a fair bit......

run:
gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

find this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Change it to:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.nopnp"

Save the new file and run:
sudo update-grub

Then reboot to test

Can you help with this problem?
