Public bug reported: After a few seconds, a couple minutes tops, from starting up the machine, the touchpad freezes and I can no longer control the mouse pointer unless I have a mouse connected.
How I thought this is a bug? I couldn't find the touchpad in the file: /proc/bus/input/devices. Source: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_your_Touchpad_doesn.27t_work_at_all_.28No_response_from_the_Touchpad.29 I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS on DELL Latitude 5591. A side note: I have been using this machine for around 2 years. This wasn't the case when I first had Ubuntu installed. Rather, this issue surfaced like a year ago or so. Disabling the touchpad from xinput --disable and re-enabling it doesn't fix it. Restarting the driver: modprobe -r psmouse doesn't fix it either.
