Hi, I have installed zorin os in my laptop. I find that my touchpad not working at all.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
Can you tell us which version and flavour of ZorinOS you have installed e.g. Z15.3 Core, Lite etc or maybe Z16 Core beta?
Also the brand of laptop and touchpad you have.

The last solution given seems not too complicated:
An easier solution is: add "blacklist elants_i2c" to /etc/modprobe.d/unneeded-modules.conf (you'll have to create this), save and reboot. Working on identical touchpad and Manjaro. Vendor=04f3 Product=3140 Version=0100
Hi, I'm sincere to you, I'm a basic user and i try to fix it but I don't understand a lot what means some things:
1
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
/boot/grub/grub.cfg.

/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 12: /etc/default/grub: Syntax error: newline unexpected
I understand that there is a syntax error but how is the step by step to fix it? Thank you.
The solution I posted above does not require any grub editing.
add "blacklist elants_i2c" to /etc/modprobe.d/unneeded-modules.conf (you'll have to create this)
save and reboot.
how I create from the console /etc/modprobe.d/unneeded-modules.conf? Please
- Move to the working directory.
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
sudo nano unneeded-modules.conf
- Paste bellow into this editor window:
lacklist elants_i2c
- ctrl+O then enter to save this file
Try tapping one of your function keys. One of them may be the toggle to turning your touchpad on/off.
Hi, I swear it I tried the commands, fn keys but I coudn't fix it, Is there any other option still? Sorry. I don't know if this information is useful but my touchpad has a led indicator located between the click keys, at the beginning it worked very well but it stopped recognizing until the light was on and while I was working it was off.
Remove the (>) symbol
ctrl+x to exit, then the y key to say yes to save, then `enter key to save as current configuration.
sudo update grub
I really sorry, I tried but is doesn't works, Maybe the kernel or driver? I don't know. i think that in a future updating can fix it. Thank you very much to everyone for the help.
That was to fix your grub. That needed doing.
I have not yet begun to look into the touchpad issue... As those are always sticky...
Ahh I understand, well in that case, I remain at your disposal and thank you very much for your time.

Can you try:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change the following:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nopnp=1 pc1=nocrs"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
Just like that.
Then
sudo update-grub
Once done,
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-20.04
sudo reboot
and test. If it does not work after kernel install:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
sudo update-grub && sudo reboot
And test...
