Every time I restart Ubuntu the touch pad is set to disabled. I have to manually trigger it via the keyboard short cut (FN + F7). How can I set it so it is automatically enabled?

Instead of manually "enable touchpad", you can add the command in startup application.
xinput list
You can access any element by its ID.
Enable Touch pad device by setting to "1"
xinput set-prop 12 "Device Enabled" 1
You can add this command in startup applications
This is not a recommended solution, if you find any better solutions prefer them.

I added the screenshot of xinput , you can access touchpad by its id. Here I have my id = 12, so,I used "set-prop 12". replace it with your id Dec 30, 2013 at 1:48
