I have a Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB. I was running Ubuntu 17.10 with no issues. I upgraded to 18.04 LTS and now my right-click on my touchpad does not register. I can only left-click.
I already tried the steps listed here, but they did not fix the issue.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

In my case the issue was with my new lenovo ideapad laptop 330 for which right click will work when you press it with 2 fingers.
Might be case for someone else also so added as an answer.
The answer from Umar Soleh is excellent. This answer is just to point out an alternative which is a bit more complex, but more comprehensive because you have access to additional settings that Tweaks does not expose.
1) Install Dconf-Editor. From the Terminal:
apt-get update
apt-get install dconf-editor -y
2) Open Dconf Editor and accept the warning to be careful!
3) Find touchpad settings at /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad
4) Select click-method; turn off Use default value; set Custom value to areas or fingers [Umar suggested fingers which for me feels the most natural]
You may be interested in other settings in this section (along with my personal recommendations):
* send-events: Set to `disabled-on-external-mouse`
* tap-and-drag: Disable (an annoying feature!)
* two-finger-scrolling-enabled: Enable (the default)
Maybe its new feature provide ubuntu 18. I install the
gnome-tweak-tools
and there are 3 options for Mouse Emulations. Finger, Area, and Disabled. Here the explanation
By default its set as Fingers, so you can use pointer and middle finger at once for right click
Mine is Lenovo G510 Laptop.
I did tried to follow above answers but my external mouse was also not working to set the options.
So, I opened Mouse Controls and Checked and Unchecked the Left handed mouse option.
Restarted the laptop and it started working.
P.S. My Keyboard is working.
