I have some problem to configure my touchpad, I have a toshiba satellite z30a1gt and ubuntu 14.04. On the settings -> mouse and touchpad i don't have a tab for touchpad. i have download all the software that written here on the forum and nothing changed.

xinput; uname -r:
⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse                        id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]

    ↳ Toshiba input device                      id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

cat /etc/default/grub | grep CMDLINE:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

uname -r

When i run "Synaptic" it says "No touchpad was found in this system...."

Please, how can I fix this problem ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

First of all check if the touchpad is enabled in bios, then check if it is not blocked by some Fn+F9 or some other Fx key with a touchpad icon on it.

If that does not help, you can upgrade Linux kernel. Probably your touchpad is not properly detected. Run in terminal

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid

and reboot.
