| pikh | Thanks! I tried to follow instructions from https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-touchpad-not-working-linux/ and after entering "xinput list" command I got the following name for my touchpad in the list: Atmel maXTouch Touchpad | 00:29 |
|---|---|---|
| pikh | I must also add that it is actually possible to enable my touchpad but when I do so left click stops working both on mouse and on touchpad | 00:30 |
| pikh | I assume that it's a driver problem but I do not know where to get the driver for Atmel maxTouch | 00:31 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: A result from ' modinfo i2c_hid ' ? | 00:50 |
| pikh | here's the result: filename: /lib/modules/4.15.0-112-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/i2c-hid/i2c-hid.kolicense: GPLauthor: Benjamin Tissoires <benjamin.tissoires@gmail.com>description: HID over I2C core driversrcversion: 45797A05BF90749FFCE4AAEalias: acpi*:PNP0C50:*alias: acpi*:ACPI0C50:*alias: | 00:59 |

| pikh | sorry again | 01:03 |
| pikh | http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GNxy98K4Zc/here's command result. Sorry for not being able to figure the way to post it earlier | 01:08 |

| Bashing-om | pikh: Not sure what to make of the fact that the driver is not signed. what shows ' dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-libinput ' ? | 01:12 |
| pikh | the problem is I got result in Russian since this is the default language of the system. How can I change the language of the terminal? | 01:15 |
| pikh | but it says that there's some error | 01:15 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: ' LANG=C;dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-libinput ' . | 01:16 |
| pikh | thanks! | 01:16 |
| pikh | here's the output: | 01:17 |
| pikh | https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZBsn9rPy4N/ | 01:17 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: Looks good - the leading "ii" says desired state == (i)nstalled and the status is (i)nstalled. what happens ' sudo modprobe -r i2c_hid ; sudo modprobe i2c_hid ' ? does the touchpad then work ? | 01:22 |
| pikh | so you expect me to use that command and then turn the touchpad on and see if leftclick is working? | 01:23 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: Yep . | 01:27 |
| pikh | so I used the command and result is the same. First it starts acting as if left click is constantly pressed and the it stops working | 01:29 |
| pikh | permanently pressed* | 01:29 |
| pikh | then it stops working* | 01:29 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: Sorry - now above my skills set - perhaps others here can push this along . | 01:30 |
| pikh | so I had to disable the touchpad using qwerty | 01:30 |
| pikh | Thanks for trying anyway! | 01:30 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: What release are you running ? maybe a later release will have the better support - try a live environment ? | 01:31 |
| pikh | I thought about attempting to upgrade from 18.04 to 20.04 but decided not do do this yet, since I am afraid that it can get worse after the upgrade | 01:33 |
| pikh | maybe you're right and I need to try liveusb | 01:34 |
| Bashing-om | pikh: Try a liveUSB of 20.04 - from the live environment will not affect the present install. | 01:34 |
| pikh | indeed the touchpad works on 20.04 under live usb. The problem is that sound does not. I fixed the problem with sound on 18.04 but do not remember how. Does anyone know if I upgrade to 20.04 can the problem with sound reoccur? | 02:41 |
| Bashing-om | !sound | pikh | 02:48 |
| ubottu | pikh: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - https://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 02:48 |
