Note:

This is an attempt to create a canonical question that covers all instances of "not-working trackpad" issues.

If you are experiencing a not-working touchpad, but none of the following answers work for you, please do ask a new question and then update the answers for this canonical question when your new question gets answered.

What’s the best way to troubleshoot a non-functional trackpad?

I ask this because almost every day someone asks about a touchpad that isn't working ... I think it would really help if Ask Ubuntu had a systematic generic strategy for how to troubleshoot not-working trackpads.

Ideally, the answer will cover simple things to try first (e.g., keyboard function keys, settings menu) and go on to increasingly advanced methods – ending with what information to post on this site to help people trying to answer if it's unsuccessful.

WELL...... The easiest way is having kde installed, so you can check your touchpad/trackpad settings first, just like any other operative system. If everything looks ok thru your settings, then open the terminal and start with; lsusb, and get all info related to your device dmesg, same here, get all info related xinput list (find the device and get its id number

THEN you test it;

xinput test your welcome.
