Hello lovely LQ folk! This place has helped me out a ton and I've never contributed back—gotta work on that! But uhh, I need some help first heh.
As the title says, my Lenovo ideapad 300S-11IBR keyboard & touchpad is not responsive. The trigger? Using the touchpad.
I can type forever on the keyboard
until I use the touchpad. Specifically, any use will do, from the slightest brush. The mouse will move a little bit too.
Was shelved for a year, working fine before.
What I've tried so far to no avail:
- Replicated this behavior on clean installs of Ubuntu plus X & L derivatives.
- Manually updated to kernel 5.2.8.
- Checked for any BIOS stuff. There's no options relating to the keyboard/touchpad there, nothing else weird in my untrained eyes.
- This solution to a similiar problem (basically use libinput instead of synaptics).
One thing, I forgot how unfortunately (sorry I hate myself too), but recently I did somehow reenable the touchpad/keyboard by typing some command from stackoverflow. I used the touchpad again and... same issue.
Here's xinput list:
Code:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB OPTICAL MOUSE id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 Consumer Control id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=17 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 System Control id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Lenovo EasyCamera: Lenovo EasyC id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Ideapad extra buttons id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=16 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Microsoft Wired Keyboard 600 Consumer Control id=18 [slave keyboard (3)]
Ignore 18 and 10 as their external devices I'm using ofc.
So... I couldn't find
any other thread on the internet about someone having this issue... ugh. I have no idea how all this stuff works with Linux, so pretty lost in what help I should be seeking tbh.
Next is trying a copy of Wins I 'spose (ugh). Before I lose all dignity with that, please tell me why I'm a dumbass and should of provided <x> debug info. Or even a possible solution!
Is it a hardware failure maybe? Would like to confirm that.
Thanks for your time~
