Clickpad configuration for clicks only topic






I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T440s which includes the new Synaptics Clickpad which basically bundles buttons and trackpad all in the same surface. It is a single button whose function depends on where the finger was when you clicked.

In my case, I am very used to the all system in which the buttons where separated form the trackpad, and I normally only use the trackpoint with the top buttons.

After a lot of fighting, I sort of have things working, except for one minor detail which is driving me crazy and I can´t figure out how to configure: If I perform a regular left click by pressing down and clicking the clickpad but then leave my finger lightly touching the surface, I get a ´click and drag´ action instead of a regular click.

I am doing this on Ubuntu 14.10

Is there any way to disable dragging on the top surface (or the whole surface for that matter) while keeping the possibility to click?

Here are my current synclient settings:


Code:

    LeftEdge                = 1310

GRUB configuration topic






One of the greatest advantages of GRUB is customizability.
Especially the possibility to boot from ISO files is a big 'plus'.

You don't need to burn a CD or create an USB disk anymore.
The only exeption is when you can not boot to GRUB menu.
Then naturally you need to have such a separate boot media.

You just have to create a menu entry and you are ready to go.
This is my setup meant to serve as an example for illustration:

gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom

menuentry "clonezilla" {
set isofile="/ubuntu/clonezilla-*.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,5)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs findiso=$isofile
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}


menuentry "gparted" {
set isofile="/ubuntu/gparted-*.iso"
loopback loopg(hd0,5)$isofile
linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz boot=live config union=aufs noswap noprompt vga=788 ip=frommedia toram=filesystem.squashfs findiso=$isofile
initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
}


menuentry "ubuntu-rescue" {
set isofile="/ubuntu/ubuntu-*.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,5)$isofile
linux (loop)/casper/vmlinuz.efi boot=casper iso-scan/filename=$isofile noprompt noeject
initrd (loop)/casper/initrd.lz
}

sudo update-grub

(* = file name | hd0,5 = disk 1 / partition 5)

[ubuntu] Cannot see Samba configuration tool in the Dash after frech ubuntu 14.04 install topic






After a fresh instal of ubuntu 14.04 (my previous installation has seen to be broken somewhere reading .wmv file with VLC), I've installed Samba GUI tool from the software center.
It briefly appears in the launchpad then disappears. From this time I cannot the see in in the dash.
I've found this in askUbuntu Cannot run samba interface after installing 13.04

but the command sudo apt-get install samba samba-common gives me nothing to install.
