I have tried Lubuntu 18.10, running as a Live Distro from a usb

In both cases there is no "tap to click" function, to emulate a left
mouse button click, on the touchpad.
I also was unable to find any program in the Menu, to adjust the
settings of a touchpad.
I also tried to download a touchpad program from the software
repository, but the programs I downloaded and installed, did not
show up in the Menu.
Does anyone have solution to this issue.
There is no touchpad issue with the Lubuntu 18.04, that I am using.
In my testing, I noticed the same thing.

You can change touchpad settings manually from the terminal.
I personally have a FLTK based application that I use to fine-tune
synaptic touchpad settings.
open a terminal and type
synclient
This will list all your current settings if your touchpad is supported
by the synaptic drivers.
Then simply run synclient again when you find the setting you want
with the name and value
probably you want something like:
synclient TapButton1=1
But, you can try each setting that you want to explore and it will
instantly change your settings. You probably need to save these to a
script to automatically be run each time you start your session.

Thank you for providing a work-around for the problem.
Fortunately for me, the systems with the problem are only test-systems.
Hopefully, this problem will be solved before I am to the point of
considering migrating my production systems to Lubuntu 19.04.
Though some people like command-line-interfaces, I hope this work-around
isn't the permanent solution to the problem.
