Ubuntu – Ubuntu 12.04 – touchpad not working

12.04touchpad

I installed the 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on my HP Pavilion laptop, but the touchpad isn't working. I've already tried reinstalling, so that won't fix it.

I've managed to get the terminal open using Ctrl+Alt+T, but I don't know what I'm doing. So can someone help me with this?

You could try this command in terminal (found in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1971196 this thread)

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Does your laptop by any chance have a built in keystroke (button press, combination of buttons to press etc) to enable/disable the touchpad?
