Touchpad doesnt' work Lenovo V130-15IGM

[ascvfx2]

Hi! I have latest Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on this laptop and everything is fine, except touchpad - it does not work at all. I'm complete noob on Linux systems and i have no idea what to do. Any help?

Sorry to say, but sounds like this bug report.

18.04 is not latest, it's two generations old.

For hardware as new as your Lenovo I would first of all test how it works in a live boot of 19.04.

[ascvfx2]

Yes, i have tried 19.04, but nothing changes, unfortunately.

Here it is:


~$ cat /proc/cmdline; dmesg | grep -i elan

For a test we can do
sudo sed -i 's/ELAN060C/ELAN061A/' /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c.ko
sudo depmod -a
Reboot

Thx for the tip, but it had no effect though.

Check
mokutil --sb-state
If it says Secure Boot is enabled, reboot and disable Secure Boot
Then in terminal do

sudo apt install git build-essential dkms
git clone https://github.com/jeremyb31/mouse-4.18.git
sudo dkms add ./mouse-4.18
sudo dkms install mouse/1.0
Reboot

[ascvfx2]

I have this:

mokutil -sb-state
~$ mokutil -sb-state
mokutil: invalid option -- 'b'
mokutil: invalid option -- '-'
Usage:
mokutil OPTIONS [ARGS...]
i don't have Secure Boot in BIOS settings, if it's necessary

and this:

sudo apt install git build-essential dkms

[jeremy31]

Should have been
mokutil --sb-state
Also try
sudo apt update
before running the other commands

Much obliged, it works now! Right-click is recognizes as left-click, but i already found solution via GNOME Tweaks, now it works properly. Thanks again!
