Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), I have managed to get the touchpad

partitions removed. It just happens to be connected via a USB adapter,
but otherwise it is capable of being installed into a PC as it is and
being booted from. If I could remove the internal drive and connect
this in it's
Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), the touchpad only works when the
system is booted directly from the live dvds I have tried. These are
12.04.0 and 14.04.1. It doesn't work on any kernel when booted from the
hard drive.
Just to reiterate, the touchpad did work when purchased earlier this
year.
Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), have installed 14.04.1 onto a USB
hard drive, rebooted from this, and yes, the touchpad works fine.
Relevant section from xorg log pasted below. Rebooted from internal
hard drive and touchpad not working.

Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), I have installed the latest upstream kernel
(3.18.0-031800rc7). There were several errors during the removal of the
previous upstream kernel and several errors during the installation of this one

this year and had the previous LTS version of Ubuntu (12.04?)

[HP 255 G1 Notebook PC] Synaptics Touchpad not Working after upgrade
At long last I have managed to do this BIOS update. The BIOS updates suppled

same as during the 14.04.1 upgrade (oem-ethernet, oem-wireless plus 1 or

There are several similar problems on the forums but seem to be either
unanswered or marked as solved with no solution. Have only just bought this
