Christopher, here are some results from live medium without any update, i.e., as it comes with the live CD: - 12.04.5 => same problem as above - 13.04 and 13.10 => don't boot (seems to crash when graphic card is called, but I'm no specialist) - 14.04 and 14.10 => same as 12.04.5 and as described above.
I built kernel 3.18rc1 to compare to 3.18rc2. This time it boots but trackpad / touchpad problem is still the same: no pointer, no effect of clicks. Just to be sure everything is done correctly (that's the first time I report a bug...), here is what prints to screen when sudo dpkg -i *.deb Could you please check everything is fine (see parts in bold)? levesque@portmax2:~/Downloads/kernel$ ls 3.18rc2 linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc1_3.18.0-031800rc1.201410192135_all.deb linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc1-generic_3.18.0-031800rc1.201410192135_amd64.deb linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc1-generic_3.18.0-031800rc1.201410192135_amd64.deb levesque@portmax2:~/Downloads/kernel$ levesque@portmax2:~/Downloads/kernel$ levesque@portmax2:~/Downloads/kernel$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb [sudo] password for levesque: Selecting previously unselected package linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc1.
