I have just bought an HP laptop pre-loaded with ubuntu. I was expecting it to be 14.04 but it was not and this was available as a downloadable upgrade.
Suffice to say the upgrade crashed my touchpad and it no longer works. I have tried several terminal based patches but this does not work either.
I can not log in to the root system to enable permissions for editing the grub file and now the I can not type in the password for the system in the terminal either.
Has anyone got a reliable and simple patch that will get the touchpad working again?
