Here’s how to temporarily disable the touchpad control on Ubuntu Netbook Remix for those who were always accidently ‘clicked’ or ‘touched’ the touchpad while typing long sentences.
Disabling Touchpad
- Go to the Ubuntu Netbook Remix main screen
- Select ‘Preference’, then ‘Mouse’
Untick the touchpad checkbox. The touchpad would be disabled until you you change the option back.
That’s why I love Ubuntu. It’s so user-friendly and easy to use even if you’re not a pro.
In version 10.04 there is no option to disable touchpad completely, only while typing. I think they should add it back. I hate my touchpad, I use a real mouse.
Can you disable in 9.10? It only appears to let you disable while typing. I’d like to turn mine right off because I use a mouse and I always touch pad while typing. It is very frustrating…
Does this work with the regular desktop edition too. I have seen many people use the desktop edition and have the same issue.
suggestion :- if possible show the preceding screenshots as well so people know what to look for. Sometimes it is easier.
