To correct my solution: it is special key Fn + F7 which toggles touchpad. Accidentally I must have pressed this sometime after installation. I mixed it with Alt+F7 which enables graphical Desktop when I switched from console (Alt+F1 ... Alt+F6) to Desktop.
A linux shutdown and new start will not enable touchpad until Fn+F7 is pressed again! A restart does not work on my netbook because it does shutdown only. Please put this to netbook hardware hints for Acer Aspire E3-112. Other users will enjoy not making my failure :-) Peter -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1507352 Title: touchpad does not work on acer aspire E3-112 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: New installation with ubuntu 15.04. After some reboots the touchpad does not work. After reading some articles I upgraded with "sudo apt-get upgrade" - nothing better. Then I tried to reload following modules: hid_multitouch, i2c_hid and psmouse - nothing better. Don't know how to send you the bug report from this Acer netbook ! cat /proc/version_signature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-15.15-generic 3.19.3 Do you have any idea? Can you help me? Would be great!
