I need to prevent autostartup of syndaemon because it uses a bugged option (-t).

Issuing the following two commands does not work:

killall syndaemon
syndaemon -i 1 -K -d

as the daemon will apparently be restarted by the system resulting in the following (not working) situation:

ps -auxf | egrep "syndaemon|USER"
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
nick      1923  0.0  0.0  22364  2584 tty2     S+   11:25   0:00              |   \_ syndaemon -i 1.0 -t -K -R
nick      1930  0.0  0.0  13696  2160 pts/0    S+   11:26   0:00      \_ grep -E --color=auto syndaemon|USER
nick      1904  0.0  0.0  22364   228 ?        Ss   11:25   0:00 syndaemon -i 1 -K -d

PS: as strange as it can be, the first time I tried syndaemon -i 1 -K -d, it simply worked. However, the problem reappeared after rebooting, and here I am. I saw an update of some GNOME packages.. not sure if they were the cause.

You can disable it in System Settings -> Mouse & Touchpad.

Just uncheck "Disable while typing option".

  • :-( Too nice to be true: that option has been removed from the GUI since a while. As tagged, I use Ubuntu Gnome 15.10 (driver reasons). Theoretically, that option is now enabled by default, but it is bugged. – Niccolò Dec 15 '15 at 11:25
