Re: mouse pad doesn't work
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.Comment
