I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 from Windows Vista (Wubi) and use it as a dual boot. However while in the process of installing I turned the touch pad off. And after installation the touchpad is not working.

I am using the dual boot in a Compaq CQ40 317-TU laptop.

  1. There's a nice graphical tool that alows you to simply enable and disable the touchpad. You can install it by typing on a console:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/atareao

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install touchpad-indicator

Official page

  1. You can try to enable it from the System Settings

  2. You can try running from the console synclient TouchpadOff=0

    1. sudo gedit /etc/rc.local Before the line exit 0 you will add the following lines:

sudo modprobe -r psmouse

sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps

Save the file and reboot the computer

You need to install touchpad-indicator and synaptic. Those are needed packages to touchpad.

    Do you mean "install touchpad-indicator with synaptic? Either way your answer is incomplete. What does the OP do after installation as suggested to resolve the issue.

    Could you edit your answer and add more detail. This would make it more useful, should anyone else have the same problem.
