Public bug reported:
lubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-i386
Model#: Dell Inspiron 2650
Processor: Intel Pentium 4
Touchpad: Windows XP reports it as "Synaptics PS2 port Touchpad"
After repeated boots, the touchpad and keyboard stop working on a Dell laptop I
am using.
I have tried several fixes posted on the Internet, each one works for about 3
consecutive boots and then the problem starts all over again. Trying to use
the stated fixes again, does not repeat the fix.
I consider this a very serious issue, as a person loses all control of
the system.
The only solution to gain control back is to plug in a USB Keyboard and
mouse, but this also after repeated boots fails. I've had to re-install
Lubuntu, and then the process starts all over again.
The devices work correctly under Windows XP - never have any issues with
them.
I tried these posted fixes with only temporary results:
Posted Fix Attempt #1
At time of login press Ctrl+Alt+F3.
Then input your username and password.
After that, input the command
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
Then input
exit and restart
Posted Fix Attempt#2
terminal:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash psmouse.proto=bare"
save and exit
sudo update-grub
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator
exit
Reboot
