please forgive my ignorance, but need some help. My ex installed Ubuntu 12.04lts on my Asus laptop, and everything running well. This morning all good, mousepad working, 2 finger scrolling working, put it into hibernation and on waking mousepad not working.   I found what to put into terminal to make mousepad work again, but was confused by instructions of what to do make it permanently work. And 2 finger scrolling doesn't work and there is no option in mousepad settings.  Any clear directions would be gratefully appreciated as I don't want to have to contact the ex for help....ever!!

I installed ubuntu 13.04 64bit on my lenovo idea pad z470. My problem is when I press any of the hardware one-touch short-cut keys for volume control, heat control, etc., my keyboard gets stuck, and I'm no more able to type anything there on.

I have an ASUS E402S laptop with Ubuntu 64-bit 16.04 LTS installed. The main problem is that the OS does recognize the touchpad with basic functions, but additional options such as scrolling through pages or between open applications are non-existent.  This is what my xinput result is showing:  ⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)] ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)] ⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                     id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)] ⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Receiver                     id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)] ⎜   ↳ FTE1000:00 0B05:0101                      id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]     ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ Sleep Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ USB2.0 VGA UVC WebCam                     id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys                          id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]     ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]   Apparently my touchpad's type is not shown in the list.

So I have and Asus R558UF notebook with an Elantech Touchpad. After installing Ubuntu 16.04, the touchpad worked once but after restarting, it failed to work and has not been working ever since.  This is output of xinput:   ↳ Elan Touchpad                            id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]   In Mouse and Touchpad settings, the touchpad is enabled. What should I do to fix this?

This question has been asked many times with no answer. I've used my basic Google skills and haven't come across a fix. This is system wide. My mouse simply scrolls too fast.   I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general. Would switching styles or whatever it is called (Ubuntu, KDE, Xubuntu) help at all? Is there a terminal code I can enter?

I know this may sound stupid, but I was having a problem with my ubuntu, it wasn't loading.   So I was googling solutions and one of them was purging something and installing something   so I did it. The proccess took a couple hours, and it didn't work. It turns out it was something to do with my graphics card (which I fixed), but when I loaded it up, I had lubuntu.   Is there any way of reverting back to ubuntu?   Or is lubuntu better to keep? I have no idea, please help.

I have an Asus G750. The touchpad (Elantech) works fine on Windows 8. However, after installing ubuntu the right mouse button is not recognized. The 'synaptiks touchpad management' software shows a cross sign under Touchpad Configuration->Hardware Information->Right Button. Similarly, from command line  shiva@shiva-G750JX:~$ xinput --list-props "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" | grep Capabilities     Synaptics Capabilities (302):   1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1   Which also, I believe, means 'right button not working'. Looking up all the help on this forum, I tried setting the "Soft Button Areas" parameter, but that did not change anything.  Can someone please help?

Actually my touchpad was not working, so I installed and uninstalled some packages and I did not know what they were. Now I am now getting a login screen and after typing password, it is coming back to the login screen again and again. Help me to solve this problem.

The trackpad on my Macbook Pro of 2 years has suddenly stopped working out of blue.  The trackpad doesn't move, respond to any gestures nor do any clicks work. This is really frustrating as I used gestures a lot to navigate around my laptop, and even though I use a bluetooth mouse it makes using my laptop unnecessarily laborious.  Does anyone know what may be causing the problem, and any solutions?

All operating systems freeze sometimes, and Ubuntu is no exception. What should I do to regain control when...   just one program stops responding? nothing at all responds to mouse clicks or key presses? the mouse stops moving entirely? I have an    In what order should I try various solutions before deciding to pull the power plug?  What should I do when starting up Ubuntu fails?  Is there a diagnostic procedure I can follow?

Is there anybody, who is able to install and fully configure Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 on Thinkpad T440p (ver 20AN)? If yes, could you post here your procedure step by step?  Please does not include your experience with any other ThinkPad models.  Edit: Situation is not so simple, see:

I have a problem with my touchpad; I can't scroll down with 2 fingers and I don't know why. I have searched on Google about my problem and I've found some answers but none of them don't work for me.  One solution I found was to go in System Settings -&gt; Mouse &amp; Touchpad -&gt; Touchpad and check the Two-finger scrolling, but I don't have that option.    Another solution was to try to reinstall, which also didn't work. Yet another solution was to go in Ubuntu Software Center, type synaptic and install the Synaptic Package Manager but that didn't work, either.      What can I do to be able to scroll with two fingers?

I've been using Ubuntu(12.10) for a long time, and recently, my Ubuntu went through yet another update.  The whole update prompt showed up, following by a password prompt, and finally the good ol' progress bar...  Everything went well, and later on, I shut down my computer.  The next day, I turned my PC on, went to the login screen. I went ahead, and logged in, but after that, all I could see was a black screen, and my cursor!  I checked the forums, and got various tips, none of which worked...  Now I'm stuck with an Ubuntu installation that's completely useless.  One more thing:  I even tried logging in through Guest, but same problem! :\  My Computer Specs: Motherboard: Intel DG41WV Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz Graphics: Intel G41 Express Chipset RAM: Dual Channel, DDR3 2*2GB (4096 MBytes) HDD: Seagate 500GB SATA   ---- DETAILED INFO ----  To be a little more precise about my problem, after I log in, I can see a black screen and my cursor. Plus, importantly, I was able to see a login screen, hence I'm sure Ubuntu is rendering properly, and also pretty sure that there's no problem with the drivers (Otherwise I shouldn't even get a login screen, right?).  Anywho, another (probably) important thing is that, after logging in, I can hit Ctrl+Alt+1 and get up a recovery console.  The only thing that doesn't load is my actual GUI desktop  Then, I ran unity from the recovery console, it went through a few commands, got stuck at OpenGL for a few seconds, then zoomed throught many more lines of code, and ended up with this:  ERROR 2012-01-03 20.51.23 unity.launcher.Icon TrashLauncherIcon.cpp:62 Could not create file monitor for trash url: Operation not supported  *** glibc detected *** compiz: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x09c861d6 ***   After that. back at Ctrl+Alt+F7: Desktop Background + Cursor  So back to the terminal again, I had to hit Ctrl+C to get back again.  now, I typed unity again, and this was the output:  WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :D compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: core unity-panel-service: no process found   so now I did a sudo service lightdm restart :  X10: fatal IO error 4 (Interrupted system call) on X server ":0" after 131 requests (130 known processed) with 0 events remaining. lightdm stop/waiting lightdm start/running, process 2852   Im back at the login screen, and I login again, now Im back to black screen (Yes, I lost the Desktop Background as well)  So, once again, I try unity (same response as last time):  WARNING: no DISPLAY variable set, setting it to :D compiz (core) - Info: Loading plugin: core compiz (core) - Info: Starting plugin: core unity-panel-service: no process found   And still a black screen! :\

After upgrading from 18.04 to 19.04 (with a necessary upgrade to 18.10 between) on a Lenovo Yoga 11e, I can no longer drag and drop anything (ie, files, windows, etc.) with the touchpad.  I can, however, move things around using the touchscreen.  Whenever I attempt to do so with the mouse, though, sometimes it turns into a hand.  Whether or not it turns into the hand or remains a pointer, the icon will not move anymore.  IOW, as soon as I left-click, the pointer freezes in place until I release the touchpad.
