…that’s a lot of F-words. Here’s the thing. Open the grub config file:
sudo su
vim /etc/default/grub
Find the line starting with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX. Add i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux to the parameters; save and close. Finally, update grub and reboot:
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg
# NOT -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
reboot
And now the touchpad works as it should!
In the past few months, I’ve experimented with various Linux distros, before sticking with Fedora-based
Korora and Gnome 3 desktop.
Korora comes with many pre-installed packages,
including vlc, audacity, deluge, gimp, inkscape and git, which is great;
still, each time I’m reinstalling my laptop, I spend too much time figuring out
which additional applications, packages and libraries I need to install.
To facilitate this rather tedious process in the future,
I’ve compiled the following list, plus some pointers to useful web resources.
When working with Matlab, it’s good to remember the data are stored in the column-major order; otherwise, the following (seemingly harmless) code might cause a lot of trouble.
% both Positions and Normals are n x 3 matrices
file = ""
fid = fopen(file,'w');
% print Positions and Normals to file
fprintf(fid, '%f %f %f \t %f %f %f \n', [Positions Normals] );
fclose(fid);
So what’s the problem?
