[00:29] <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
[00:30] <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
[00:31] <pikh> I assume that it's a driver problem but I do not know where to get the driver for Atmel maxTouch
[00:50] <Bashing-om> pikh: A result from ' modinfo i2c_hid ' ?
[00:59] <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:

[01:03] <pikh> sorry again
[01:08] <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] <pikh> http://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GNxy98K4Zc/
[01:08] <Bashing-om> pikh: Looking - It's all in that process of learning :P
[01:12] <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 ' ?
[01:15] <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
[01:16] <Bashing-om> pikh: ' LANG=C;dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-libinput ' .
[01:16] <pikh> thanks!
[01:17] <pikh> here's the output:
[01:17] <pikh> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/ZBsn9rPy4N/
[01:22] <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 ?
[01:23] <pikh> so you expect me to use that command and then turn the touchpad on and see if leftclick is working?
[01:27] <Bashing-om> pikh: Yep .
[01:29] <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*
[01:30] <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!
[01:31] <Bashing-om> pikh: What release are you running ? maybe a later release will have the better support - try a live environment ?
[01:33] <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
[01:34] <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.
[02:41] <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?
[02:48] <Bashing-om> !sound | pikh
