    (SOLVED) mouse pad doesn't work

    hi , I've just upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and now my mouse pad doesn't work. I go to mouse setting but touch pad is not present. I also go to hardware but nothing.

    I had this problem with an upgrade on a Dell laptop. It turned out that the menu.lst file had not been updated. It still was booting an old kernel. When I changed it to point to the proper kernel, my touch pad worked. It also affected my sound which hadn't worked either.

      Hi,

      In /boot/grub/menu.lst the default boot entry was:

      title Ubuntu 9.04, kernel 2.6.28-15-generic
      uuid 87cd968d-3172-4ccc-ae93-c3dad4d4861f
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-15-generic root=UUID=87cd968d-3172-4ccc-ae93-c3dad4d4861f ro quiet splash
      initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.28-15-generic
      quiet

      which I changed to this:

      title Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-14-generic
      uuid 87cd968d-3172-4ccc-ae93-c3dad4d4861f
      kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=UUID=87cd968d-3172-4ccc-ae93-c3dad4d4861f ro quiet splash
      initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-14-generic
      quiet

      For some reason the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 did not modify the menu.lst file so it was booting the old kernel. When I fixed it manually, the touch pad and my sound both worked again. There is evidently some conflict with the old kernel and the new version of Kubuntu.
