I am running Ubuntu 24.04 on an HP envy x360 which is a convertible laptop: if you flip the screen backwards it can be used as a tablet. The issue is that since yesterday mine is stuck on "tablet mode", meaning that the keyboard and trackpad do not work. This is the intended behavior when the display is flipped, the issue is that it seems that it stays this way when I flip the display back to use it as a normal laptop.
I do not think I changed anything in the configuration, and the keyboard works in recovery mode. It stops working when I get to the login screen and after login. Connecting a USB keyboard and mouse they work as expected.
Below is some additional information, please let me know if I can add anything that might be useful to debug this problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
things I tried and did not solve the issue
- booting newer and older kernels
- installing gnome extensions to rotate screen
- installing mate DE
- wiping gnome3 configuration
- reinstalling gnome shell
- connect external monitor
- enabling via xinput
- updating
note that for xinput enable 3 for example (see below) I get
WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.
