Hi, I use linux mint and recently installed a bunch of desktop environments, and I think that it might have caused this issue. How do I fix this? I want to avoid resetting, but if there isn’t a solution, I can. This does not occur in another distro, or another kernel, but occurs in other desktop environments. Solution:
Cool!
You could try running syndaemon manually in your session, if that works you may need to reconfigure syndaemon somehow.
In KDE, there is a touchpad section inside KDE settings. U should be able to reconfigure it from there.
I’m in cinnamon, and this happens in awesomewm as well
If its a fairly universal setting then changing it in kde should change it for everything
I use cinnamon, but this setting is on
I think it might somehow be something I installed
… who knows
How exactly is it messed up? what is the touch pad device called? (Laptop model, USB vendor id, whatever you’ve got) what environments are you using? Are you using X or Wayland?
I’m using X awesome wm and cinnamon. The touchpad isn’t disabled when I’m typing. I use a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15iil05, and this is a recent issue.

Thank you! I think I’ll end up restarting sometime in the future, but for now this is amazing!
