After upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 20.10 my laptop keyboard and mouse are not working. How do I fix it? Please help me.
Mousepad asks about "Do you want to save the changes before closing?". I would like to default to silent discard and no popup (disrupting the workflow). Nor prefs. nor the cat .config/Mousepad/accels.scm have configs about it:

Where is the setting to disable this query:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04 or Kubuntu 18.04.
I have Gedit 3.28.1 on both systems. While looking at .bashrc or /etc/skel/.bashrc, I found an instance of "bracket match not found" as shown in the image below in both Ubuntu and Kubuntu:
Note that Gedit uses the same phrase for (), [], and {}
Line 97 (as in a default .bashrc) is this:
alias alert='notify-send --urgency=low -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]\s*alert$//'\'')"'
While the first instance is matched correctly (not shown in the image):
([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)
the second isn't:
(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]\s*alert$//'\'')
The complete line is this:
alias alert='notify-send --urgency=low -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]\s*alert$//'\'')"'
Mousepad 0.4 also doesn't match the second instance whereas Geany 1.32 and Kate 17.12.3 do.
Do I need to install something to get Gedit and Mousepad to fix the "bracket match not found"? Or is it an issue with the algorithm used by these two text editors?
Mouse and keyboard input work normally with every other app (so far).
Launching mousepad app (/usr/bin/mousepad) results in a normal-looking window that won't accept input into the text area. I can click on and use the keyboard to operate the menu. Same effect if I right-click on a file and choose "open with".
This just started. AFAIK nothing has changed for a week or so.
I have uninstalled and re-installed (dpkg --purge mousepad) to no avail.
Any ideas welcome.
This is Xubuntu 18.04
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS"
Linux nameHere 4.15.0-43-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 6 14:45:28 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ADDED 2018-12-27 gnome-system-monitor (/usr/bin/gnome-system-monitor) is behaving the same way. In addition, the list in the "processes" section is greyed-out (besides being unresponsive to clicks).
ADDED 2019-01-19 well, not ready to do a fresh install of xubuntu to fix this, and atom was not cutting it for my simple needs, so I purged mousepad and installed leafpad. That seems to work OK so far. As a small note, I discovered I could paste into the edit area, but not type. The settings options were mostly not available, too. Booting the same hardware with an 18.04 rescue USB (full xubuntu install on a usb stick) results in normal mousepad behaviour.
I am also still stuck with gnome-system-monitor being useless, but it was just a bit more familiar than task-manager, so I canned gnome-system-monitor, too.
Wondering what else will come up and bite me. Next hardware failure is guaranteed to generate a fresh install.
I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver (development branch) on a Dell Inspiron 13 5000 series.
The actual problem I'm facing is that the right click button for the mousepad is not detected and there is no way to configure it. I'm looking for the right button (below the mousepad area) to work, not having an area in the mousepad that simulates right click, nor wanting to use two fingers tap as right click.
The mouspad has a button for right click which should work, but instead I'm having to use two fingers tap for tight click instead.
Of course if I use an USB mouse attached I can right click but I would like to have same right button click on the mousepad.
Actually I have following pointer output for xinput:
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=17 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=19 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DELL0740:00 06CB:7E7E Touchpad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN Touchscreen id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
I had same problem while installing PCLinux and Slackware so I am thinking of drivers issue maybe. But not sure how to tackle this.
How can I enable the right button click on the mousepad? Means I want the physical button on the mousepad to work properly.
