Hi. I purchased Zorin for the love that I can ditch Windows for something that is more newbie friendly. However I am not able to scroll with my touchpad. I use an HP Elitebook. Have already tried shifting to synaptics form the terminal as was mentioned in this link: Can't scroll with touchpad!
TIA
What is the terminal output of
uname -a
If higher than 5.11.0-36, can you run in terminal:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
Then reboot and test and relay the results here?
Can you please try the module prober
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse
Then test?
Nope. Still the same. Do they have touchpad scroll in Lite? I saw your post praising it over core 
I have no idea...
I have never used an HP Elitebook...
You can test it out using the LiveUSB.
Thanks, will definitely give it a try.
In the meanwhile, any other solution that you suggest for this problem? Not having touchpad scrolls drains my productivity bigtime.
Do you use two-finger scrolling?
In Settings > Mouse & Touchpad > Do you have settings for scrolling that are currently disabled?
What is the output of
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
No trackpad in the list.
What year model is your Elitebook?
2015 I guess.
There are two possibilities that come to mind:
Libinput or the Linux kernel.
Since you had tried installing Xorg-Synaptics trying to troublehoot the issue, it seems unlikely to be Libinput.
You might try either an earlier kernel or a later kernel... Given that at this point, you should be using the 5.13 kernel on Zorin OS through the updates, and it being a 2015 model, I would not assume that a later kernel would help.
Try the 5.8 LTS kernel:
sudo apt install linux-headers-5.8.0-63-generic linux-modules-5.8.0-63-generic linux-modules-extra-5.8.0-63-generic linux-image-5.8.0-63-generic
Reboot and use Advanced Options for Zorin to boot from the 5.8 kernel. Once you reach the desktop, double check with
uname -r
It should be 5.8.0-63
Then test your touchpad scroll.
I am so sorry that I have been bugging you again and again but it is still not working. Nor is the trackpad still detected.
Btw, I just realized, I was using 5.11 before. Will updating to 5.13 be any good solution?
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
should take care of that. Zorin OS is now using the 5.13 kernel. You may have just not run your updates, yet.
I wonder if your Elitebook is using Elantech...
It still shows 5.11.0-46 even after running the query in the terminal
In terminal, pelase run
dpkg --list | grep linux-image
And relay that output here.
