After restarting my laptop recently, the touchpad no longer works under kernel version 5.15.0-57-generic. (Same symptoms: the touchpad works in the login screen, but the moment I log in, it stops working.) My best guess is that this happened because of the linux-firmware update (20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.10, from 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.9), which of course regenerated the initramfs for each kernel installed. (I installed this update before restarting the computer.) But, that's only my best guess. Let me know if I should mark this bug as affecting linux-firmware, or if you need any other information.
Oh, and just to be thorough, I did try the newest kernel (5.15.0-60-generic, newer than my original bug report), and the touchpad still doesn't work (same symptoms as before). This was after installing that linux-firmware update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2004531 Title: Touchpad stops working after login when using latest kernel (5.15.0-58-generic) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to the latest kernel (5.15.0-58-generic), my laptop’s touchpad has stopped working after the login screen. That is, it works on the login screen, but as soon as I log in (in fact, the moment I press enter after entering my password), the mouse cursor no longer responds to touchpad input. (I’ve made sure that my touchpad is enabled, both by using the touchpad enable/disable button on my laptop, and by checking in “Mouse Preferences” (Preferences → Mouse in the main menu) that the “Enable Touchpad” box is checked.) The mouse buttons below the touchpad, however, still work, and if I plug in a USB mouse, that will work as well. When I restart and select the previous kernel version (5.15.0-57-generic) on boot, the touchpad works again, on the login screen and after. Nevertheless, I’d really appreciate a fix; this laptop is dear to me, and I’d like to be able to use it with the latest kernel updates. I’m using Ubuntu MATE 22.04.01 LTS on a Compaq Presario CQ60.
