I've just updated and first thing I check has stopped working. It's an HP EliteBook 820 G2 and I updated from Impish 21.10. Can anyone suggest fixes or troubleshooting?


I tried editing the settings to toggle scrolling and tap to click on and off. I rebooted afterwards. No joy.


Edit 20220515 (morning): I just turned my laptop on again for the first time since originally posting this and both functions are working. No idea why. I haven't changed anything. Maybe it just needed a rest after the update. (:


Edit 20220515 (evening): The problem is back again! Totally unpredictable and won't be remedied by reboots. I run Unity and switching between that and GNOME does nothing. Very, very annoying. If I log in to GNOME Classic then two finger scrolling suddenly works but tap to click doesn't. I can turn scrolling off in settings and it stops working. It only starts again if, after I turn it back, I also toggle tap to click! This is cray.

The only solution to this was to do a clean install of Ubuntu22. Now everything works. I guess there were so many UIs installed that one of them was conflicting with Jammy for control of the input. This was probably the smart solution anyway as I think I'd updated all the way from Bionic Beaver, or even Xenial.


Anyway, trouble-free Ubuntuing is restored once more. :)
