@penalvch, 4.5 kernel panics. 4.4 works fine. Basically the code to detect "Elan touchpad" is added in kernel version 4.3. The issue was with loading the kernel itself, since the laptop we have has "skylake" pieces , the support for which was mostly experimental in previous versions leading to kernel panic/freeze.
@Michael, if you are looking to install ubuntu 1. install 14.04 version ( wily ) 2. download 4.4 kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc8-wily. Download these 3 files in a separate folder ( say kernel_44 ) linux-headers-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb linux-headers-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb linux-image-4.4.0-040400rc8-generic_4.4.0-040400rc8.201601130531_amd64.deb 3. run the following command to install the kernel sudo dpkg -i kernel_44/*.deb 4. add "acpi_osi=! idle=nomwait" in the /etc/default/grub in the kernel line. search for splash keyword in that file , and add this next to it, assuming you would find splash only once in the file. 5. run update-grub2 6. reboot thats it ! you would automatically boot into the new kernel, and your touchpad should work fine. -- 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/1520519 Title: ASUS ROG GL552 TouchPad not detected Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Laptop Model : ASUS ROG GL552 DH71 First Appearance : Got laptop yesterday. dual booted with ubuntu 14.04.
