I used all the options on my touchpad (two fingers to scroll the page, two fingers to direct-click, etc) and after I updated Ubuntu today, it just stopped. The touchpad works, but only normal click and double click; the other options are somehow no longer available. Before, in Settings, when I went to the touchpad section, there were several options to configure regarding its features, but now when I open it, I see that there is almost nothing, as if there was a setback.

(Some time ago, I had messed up with grub and something similar had happened, but I managed to edit the file and the touchpad was back to normal, but when my PC started up, several codes appeared on the screen instead of the ubuntu welcome screen , but nothing that hindered the use of the notebook. Then today, when I turned on the pc, I saw that the codes were no longer showing, but the Ubuntu welcome screen; and coincidentally my touchpad was not working well either. I assumed it was a grub issue, as it probably should have been modified when upgrading. So I created a live usb to reinstall grub [the touchpad worked perfectly in live usb], and after reinstalling grub, I turned on the pc and nothing changed ).

Please help me! I'm sending a print of how the touchpad part of the settings is doing. And forgive my english too, I don't speak english.

  • You update from what version to what version? Get your touchpad ID from xpinput list and paste the output of xinput list-props ID. Also could be useful cat /proc/bus/input/devices | perl -00 -ne 'print if /touchpad/i'. Did you found something on journalctl -p warning? – Pablo Bianchi Jun 08 '21 at 18:44
  • @PabloBianchi first, thanks for help me. I edited the post with the information you asked for (I don't know if this is how I should have posted it, I'm new to the forum). The command "cat /proc/bus/input/devices | perl -00 -ne 'print if /touchpad/i'" returned nothing, and the "journalctl -p warning" returned A LOT. How can I show it here? And by the way, I'm on Ubuntu 20.04, and the update was one of the daily updates. – Thiago Oliveira Jun 09 '21 at 11:12
  • You added the properties of the mouse, and that info doesn't show any touchpad. "managed to edit the file": what file? About journalctll: You should read it for suspicious warnings/errors. Also read upgrade package history. Try also booting with a live distro, if that way everything works. – Pablo Bianchi Jun 09 '21 at 16:45
  • @PabloBianchi That's the problem: it's recognizing it as a mouse by the looks of it! I'm not using any mouse, just the touchpad. And the file I talked about was "grub", but it doesn't seem to be a grub problem now. And yes, it works perfectly in a live distro! – Thiago Oliveira Jun 09 '21 at 17:38
  • @PabloBianchi Reading the "journalctl -p warning" I found many things, and I also realized that it's not just the touchpad, my bluetooth is also giving an error! I created a repository on github to send some prints and also a copy of "journalctl -p warning" in .txt format; the file name is "dump-of-journalctl.txt". Please keep helping me! You're the only one – Thiago Oliveira Jun 09 '21 at 17:45
  • If on a live distro works fine probably the easiest way is to start from scratch, a fresh install – Pablo Bianchi Jun 09 '21 at 20:27
