[Bug 1244634] Re: Trackpad not working in fujitsu lifebook UH572

 

Ville Myllymäki, as per
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/Download/ShowFiles.asp an update is
available for your BIOS (2.15). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Trackpad not working in fujitsu lifebook UH572

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,

  this bug has been since 12.04. The problem is, trackpad is not working
  at all with clean install (at least in 12.04, 13.04, 13.10).

  This solves the problem (solution found from here:
  https://lifebook.ts.fujitsu.com/blog/blog/category/general/ubuntu-12-10
  -quantal-quetzal-on-fujitsu-lifebook-uh572/s )

  1. open a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T)
  2. run
     $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub (or your favourite editor - I prefer "vim")  
  3. find the line containing: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
  4. add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to the string in quotes
  5. save and exit
  6. run
     $ sudo update-grub
  7. reboot
