[Razer x Lambda] Touchpad disabling while typing does not work

[Stephen Casper]

It makes my laptop much less usable.

I assume you mean:

  org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing true

Does it work any better if you log into Ubuntu on Xorg instead?

[Stephen Casper (scasper)]

Thanks, Daniel

   - I assumed this bug was known -- others online have had it. But I
   wanted to still report it in hope that it will not always be an issue.
   - Neither setting org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad
   disable-while-typing nor any other solution I have found online for this
   works. Everything has invariably failed to make the touchpad shut off while
   typing.
   - I have been trying earlier today to log in with Xorg, and this is its
   own can of worms. I can't, and I'm not sure why. I don't have the option to
   with a little gear on startup/login. And when I try to
   edit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and restart the computer, it won't start up
   unless I use ctrl+alt+f4 to open up a virtual console on startup and undo
   the change to /etc/gdm3/custom.conf.

In summary, nothing works. If some immediate solution comes to mind, great.
Else, I'll hope for an update soon. Thanks!

Please report the bug to:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues

and mention the machine model is Razer x Lambda.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

The libinput developers will likely ask you to install libinput-tools which you can with:

  sudo apt install libinput-tools

That provides the tools to measure what's going on with touch sizes and palm rejection.
