upgrade tro natty installed kde-config-synaptiks on my desktop

[piovisqui]

On my upgrade to natty, Kubuntu installed kde-config-synaptiks on my desktop, which is useless since I don't have a touchpad. On every start-up synaptiks complains about "touchpad not found".

:O

Ubuntu bug says synaptiks it's not installed! The actually package is kde-config-touchpad. But the software is synaptiks.

I have the same problem here. I'm running ubuntu11.04 and my touchpad works, but the functions like scrolling vert / horz or multitouch (two fingers) doesn't work....

Did you read my report? You DO NOT have the same problem...

Hi piovisqui,

same error occured on my fresh&clean installation of Kubuntu11.04-Desktop (32-bit)

There seem to be 2 workarounds to tackle this problem

1. Start Kubuntu once with an empty session.

2. Uninstall "kde-config-touchpad" (since i use a desktop & have no plans to get a touchpad for it, this worked for me)

Best wishes.

Hi
The source Synaptiks is no longer maintained upstream. Hence all it's
