dbus crash & trackpoint not working

Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:35 pm
Hey guys,

I am running into two problems with neon, I haven't had before
with kubuntu or other distros.

The first one is, that after some time dbus crashes and I cant start
dolphin and most other programs anymore. I need to go to the
cli and use "export $(dbus-launch)" to be able again to launch dolphin.
This happens every time after some time and so I have to reboot
constantly to have a usable system. I would like to finally tackle this.
I've read that exchanging dbus with dbus-broker could change
this, but so far I did not find out how to build / install this on Neon.


the second thing which is very anoying, I use a Thinkpad Twist
where i utilize the TrackPoint in favor of the touchpad,
but if I shut down my laptop I ALWAYS need one reboot
after booting up, to make my TrackPoint work.
If I boot up, its not working (the TouchScreen is),
after the reboot everything works fine.

That is also VERY annoying....


If i should manage to fix those two issues, my OS would nearly be perfect :)


Does anyone have an idea for me, how to finally get rid of those problems?



Thanks for your time
Walter


ps.: actual KDE Neon on Lenovo ThinkPad Twist

Well, this forum by idea should be the right place :)

As of trackpoint/ultranav problem - have you searched ThinkWiki?
https://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkWiki
There should be a section for your model with hopefully some usefull information...
Usually the ThinkPads are well supported in Linux...
