Settings not avaible

[Jörn Schönyan]

It's currently impossible to change settings via the gui. When I select Settings / "Einstellungen" in german, it is just gray and no window does appear. Output from a console:

Similar problem in Xubuntu 14.04x64, Mint17x64 xfce and Mint17x32 xfce on Dell Vostro 5460. Unable to access Preferences, and connection of external mouse fails to disable the touchpad.

Also installation from PPA failed to add an entry to the autostart list. Fixed this by manually adding an entry to the autostart list for Touchpad-Indicator with the command /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/touchpad-indicator/bin/touchpad-indicator (in Linux Mint 17x32 xfce).

Similar problem on Mint17x64 Cinnamon on Acer Aspire One 756. Unable to access Preferences. Connection of external mouse fails to disable the touchpad. Disconnection of external mouse fails to enable the touchpad

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Similar problem on Ubuntu 14.04 on Acer Aspire 7736

Forgot to mention - Xubuntu 14.04x64

[Tony Martin (tmartin-nihonsuki)]
