Well I tried on "mouse and touchpad" but there isn't any option to disable tap to click:

enter image description here

Then I tried:

synclient MaxTapTime=0

That returned:

Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

So how to disable tap to clip on touchpad?

Using Ubuntu 16.04

After I solved the problem with the answer suggested by @Vitor, as sugested in comments I got from xinput:

  • On my machine (14.04) this command disables tapping: synclient TapButton1=0, although this won't help with the error message from synclient. – wjandrea Aug 13 '16 at 20:27
  • @wjandrea the question is different but the solution is the same. I will answer it here for users that are looking for "how to disable tap to click on 16.04". Thank you! – Vitor Abella Aug 13 '16 at 20:37
  • Please [edit] your question and add output of xinput terminal command. – Pilot6 Aug 14 '16 at 08:31
  • @Pilot6 I'm sorry, but I don't know what you mean. I don't know how to do what you want. Please explain me. – Vitor Abella Aug 14 '16 at 20:53
  • Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T, enter xinput there, press Enter key, than copy the result to your question. You know how to do it, since you posted some output already. – Pilot6 Aug 14 '16 at 20:55
  • I thought it was like xinput synclient... – Vitor Abella Aug 14 '16 at 21:04
  • Now please add output of xinput list-props 13 if eGalaxTouch is the touchpad. I see you have 2 devices that may be a touchpad. – Pilot6 Aug 14 '16 at 21:19
  • "After I solved the problem"

    I don't see anything telling us how you solved the problem.

    I see a comment below, but it's voted down and a user saying that it's not related at all. Was that in fact your solution? It's not very clear.

  • I edited the question @TacoBob . – Vitor Abella Aug 15 '16 at 17:40
  • @Pilot6 I added xinput list-props 13 – Vitor Abella Aug 15 '16 at 17:48
  • You probably made a typo and gave output of xinput list-props 14 – Pilot6 Aug 15 '16 at 20:31
  • To close voters. It is not a duplicate in any way. – Pilot6 Aug 15 '16 at 20:33
  • @Pilot6 why not? According to the OP, running sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse fixed it and that's what your answer to the duplicate also suggests. Am I missing something? – terdon Aug 16 '16 at 09:08
  • This is not a good solution. That means that either psmouse is not started, or some custom module is installed that was not added to initramfs, or something else. – Pilot6 Aug 16 '16 at 09:26
  • Hardware question - are you using a laptop? I have a Logitech K400 keyboard, which has a trackpad attached. None of the above has worked for me yet. (still trying to figure it out)

    I don't have any trackpad or mouse settings at all, but everything works as it should. I just can't turn off trackpad tap.

    Edit: I found the answer, in case anyone else comes here trying to figure it out. "Simple answer without going to page. "Hold down the blue function key and the left trackpad key simultaneously.

    No software required, OS is irrelevant.""

Restarting pmouse solved my problem (as suggested by @Pilot6 ):

On terminal:

sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

Then the touchpad options will appear on "mouse and touchpad"
