[Bug 1362584] Re: [HP 255 G1 Notebook PC] Synaptics Touchpad not Working after upgrade from 12.04.1 LTS to 14.04.1 LTS

 

Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), The notepad was purchased earlier
this year and had the previous LTS version of Ubuntu (12.04?)
preinstalled.  I believe that it was in non-UEFI mode as I have not made
any changes to this (see below).  It was upgraded directly to the
current LTS release, 14.04 and it was at this point that the touchpad
stopped working.

I have just tried booting on an older version of the kernel 3.5.0-54
from the boot menu, and the touchpad still does not work.

I just tried booting in UEFI mode (by disabling legacy mode) from the
hard drive but the BIOS reports that there is no operating system on the
drive.  Re-enabled legacy mode and booted as normal but still no
touchpad.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
