Today I've upgraded Kubuntu from 19.04 to 19.10 on my laptop and faced following issue – tapping doesn't work anymore. One-finger touchpad tap doesn't work as left click and two-finger touchpad tap doesn't work as right click too.
I opened system settings and found that tapping section is totally disabled, see screenshot.
How this issue could be fixed?

Googled a bit and found only one solution - edit Xorg config (you'll need
sudo
to do it). Maybe someone will suggest better one.At first open
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
and find touchpad section:Then add two tapping options to the end of section so it will look as follows:
Note:
TapButton2
option as I found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Frequently_used_options configures "which mouse-button is reported on a non-corner, two finger tap".Logout&login and touchpad should start work correctly.
As a bonus now GUI tapping options are enabled, see screenshot.
