Public bug reported: Installed Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit (also Linux Mint and other Ubuntu 16.04 based distros) on my Dell Inspiron 5555 AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6.
The touchpad sort-of works for a few seconds (pointer moves but cliking fails) and after a while it hangs completely. The USB mouse works with no issues though. I've found following the steps given here http://askubuntu.com/a/632570/55128 works: 1. Run $ sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub In the open window edit line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" it should look this way GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nopnp" Save file and run $ sudo update-grub 2. Run $ echo "blacklist i2c_hid" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i2c-hid.conf $ sudo depmod -a $ sudo update-initramfs -u $ echo "synaptics_i2c" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules 3. Reboot. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598637 Title: Dell Inspiron 5555 touchpad not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1598637/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
