@N0rbert when advicing people to manually edit dconf setting, better advice to usegsettings
, which is the cli frontend to dconf. One of the reasons is that the higher levelgsettings
includes consistency check for dconf. The command for gsettings would then be on 18.04:gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'disabled'
