The problem has occurred on all releases I have tested. I thought there would be an option on my menu for both my standard kernel which came with 12.04 and for the one I wanted to test. But there is only one entry like that on the menu.
Not being a Linux expert I am a bit confused now whether I am running the latest kernel or not. geoff@geoff-laptop:~/Downloads$ uname -a Linux geoff-laptop 3.13.0-031300-generic #201401192235 SMP Mon Jan 20 03:46:44 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux The touchpad is working fine now but I am on 12.04. and presumably that is because of the workaround. If I am indeed on the latest kernel I guess I need to temporarily remove the fix by doing: edit /etc/default/grub change line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.noloop" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" run sudo update-grub reboot Do you know whether I am on the kernel which needs testing and if so should I take out the workaround to test? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244643 Title: [Novatech N1402 NNB-978] Touchpad does not work at all To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1244643/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
