Touchpad indicater does not work on Ubuntu 14:04 LTS

[Alexander Brankov]

Hi,

I have just installed fresh clean Ubuntu 14.04 LTS amd64 distribution on my Dell Vostro 3550 laptop.

I then did the following from the terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator

This did not generate any error messages but I do not have the Touchpad Indicator on my menubar.
Restart did not change anything

How can I diagnose the problem?

Kindest regards,

Alex

If touchpad-indicator is installed, Do try this command in a command line console:
Open a terminla.
Enter the following command:

your@system $ /opt/extras.ubuntu.com/touchpad-indicator/bin/touchpad-indicator

(no need to be in admin mode)

You should get an answer from the software containing something like this line as an answer:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type: '/home/mimo/.config/touchpad-indicator/touchpad-indicator.conf'

If you do see something like this, it comes from a bug in the touchpad-indicator. Please post the console answer so that the author could have more elements of informations to debug his program.
Best regards

Sorry the answer of the software is here in french, but the FileNotFoundError and filename is important.
