[Asus X550LC] Touchpad not Recognized in ubuntu 14.04

[nishu bindal]

I am facing a problem of touchpad not recognized on Asus X550LC. It notes in dmesg:

[penalvch (penalvch)]

nishu bindal, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.15-rc3

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Did you try the touchpad function key(alt+f9)?
The function could be blocked by BIOS.

[nishu bindal (nishubindal89)]

Yes I have tried it . it didn't work

Hi All,

I am also facing problems while using USB mouse. Sometime mouse click events didn't work for me

[nishu bindal (nishubindal89)]

Hi Christopher,
I tried your solution, but its not working either.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

nishu bindal, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Trusty?

[nishu bindal (nishubindal89)]

this problem is in all versions of Ubuntu. i have tried 12.04, 13.10, 14.04

nishu bindal, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one. Could you please report this problem through the appropriate channel by following the instructions _verbatim_ at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel ?

Please provide a direct URL to your e-mail to the mailing list once you have made it so that it may be tracked.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello all,

just confirming that these bugs (touchpad and mouse clicks) affects also asus model X550CA (tested on Ubuntu 12.04.4 and 14.04)

Regards,

[penalvch (penalvch)]

sunnycloud, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into a Ubuntu repository kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

I can confirm that this bug also affects my Asus X450CC.

Although the touchpad works without problems on Windows 7, which excludes a hardware problem, it does not work at all under a fresh install of Xubuntu 14.04.

I've tried several kernels, including mainline kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ without success. I'm currently running 3.15.0-031500rc6-generic still with the same problems.

Suspicious things are:

* The line "psmouse serio4: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio4" appearing multiple times in the output from dmesg

* Touchpad listed as "PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" in the output from xinput

Please tell my anything I can do to help debugging this issue. Thanks!

[sunnycloud (blackhole1002)]

@Christofer

After reading the official Ubuntu documentation as you suggested, I still do not understand what you mean by
 "not a mainline one". I understood that I should run ubuntu-bug while running a kernel found at :

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D

but those seems to me to be the mainline ones ? Could you shed some light on that matter ?

Regards,

[rhk (rhk)]

@sunnycloud: "not a mainline one" means that you have to use a kernel installed from Ubuntu's repositories, with aptitude, apt-get, synaptic,...

Whereas Mainline kernels are found on http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

here it is the same. even with the rc8 upstream-kernel the touchpad isn't detected... but the cursor is jumping a half cm every 2 seconds...

same issues here with ASUS F500LD... no trackpad, and there are issues with clicking even with the mouse... any solution/patch/workaround?

[gsoundsgood (gsoundsgood)]

sorry, I meant ASUS F550LD

[nishu bindal (nishubindal89)]

I also have same issue with USB mouse. Sometimes click stop working.

I generally do sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse. But
this is not a permanent fix.

The mouse works flawlessly by disabling the touchpad in the BIOS.

Hi,

Fixing this is non trivial, supporting these new touchpads likely needs a signicant amount of work (for details see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110011 ).

In the mean time, I can provide a workaround which should make the touchpad work in ps/2 mouse emulation mode (so no 2 finger scrolling, etc.), and stop it from interfering with an external mouse.

Sounds good? Try booting with "psmouse.proto=bare" on the kernel cmdline.

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters for how to add a parameter to the kernel commandline.

Regards,

Hans

[nishu bindal (nishubindal89)]

It works :) Thanks a lot !!!

I'm waiting for full support for theses new touch-pads.

Hi
thanks to hans

his solution
Try booting with "psmouse.proto=bare" on the kernel cmdline.
See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters for how to add a parameter to the kernel commandline.

saved me with an asus R409C / debian7. ( 3.2.0-4-amd64 )

synclient -l gives nothing
system->...->mouse gives no touchpad

but it works ::):)

Hi,

Have tried the proposed solution following the instructions, but without
success.

I have not enough knowledge on software to be able to experiment without
tutor

Hi,

I'm experiencing the same issue described by users here -- the trackpad is not recognized on my ASUS D550MA-DS01.

xinputs --list shows no trackpad, and running synclient returns 'Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?'. I resort to using an external USB mouse, and run 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' after booting to prevent random/unpredictable input occurring when I brush against/click the trackpad.

I've tried with a number of linux kernels, Ubuntu releases, and other distributions.

The fix suggested by Hans (booting the kernel with psmouse.proto=bare) was successful. Is it helpful for me to file a separate bug report?

Regards,
Ben

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Ben Lansdall, it would be most helpful to file a separate bug report.

[Davide (skyzzo92)]

I have the same problem, with Fujitsu A-544 , with xinput list it s not show any touchpad

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Davide, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, this bug report is not scoped to you, your hardware, or your problem. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
ubuntu-bug linux

I have the same Asus X550LC laptop with Ubuntu 14.04. Have you tried updating the BIOS of your system
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/X550LC/HelpDesk_Download/

[Hans Schaap (hans-schaap)]

Thanks for the mail
If the updates do not go automatic, i have not updated the BIOS. I
studied the proposed website and i do not know how to go about this.
Instead of experimenting, i prefer to get a step by step instruction on
how to go about this.
Please note that i have a dual boot and on the Microsoft 8 the touch-pad
is working normally.

There is a similar bug in the RedHat bugzilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1110011). There is a driver posted there, if anyone is up for testing.

This problem also affects ASUS X200MA model.

The following solution only works if your system is X550LC:
Download the attached BIOS update file and save it (preferably in NTFS partition or C: drive)
Now restart and press Esc key while booting to get into BIOS.
Check for the update option in BIOS and provide the downloaded file.
After a few minutes your BIOS will be updated.

[Hans Schaap (hans-schaap)]

My system is X450LN. If there is a similar update for this system,
please let me know.

Any news? I bought an Asus F550L and the touchpad doesn't work. Even an external USB mouse

If you have a same Focaltech touchpad, you can try this kernel with Ficaltech driver installed.

@hesedieal84

Yes, it is important to file a separate bug. My image probably won't work out of the box, since noloop quirk is probably needed.
X550LC is included to list, but your model is not.
As a temporary solution yo may add i8042.noloop=1 to /etc/default/grub

Run

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

In the opened file edit string

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

so it looks like

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.noloop=1"

Then save file and run

sudo update-grub

Touchpad should work.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

After reboot.

@ Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch)

writing ubuntu-bug linux in a terminal the system gives me this message:

The problem cannot be reported: this is not an official ubuntu pacage. Please remove any third party package and try again

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

@hesediel84

If you installed a custom kernel image, the system correctly does not let you to report a bug.
Boot with a standard kernel using grub and try again.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

hesediel84, if that doesn't work, please boot into a live environment via http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . As this report is the wrong venue for support questions, please utilize www.ubuntu.com/support for any further questions. As well, you are welcome to contact me directly.

i installed xubuntu 14.10 nothing else, the oly one i could. because it recognizes sometimes the mouse. Xubuntu 14.04 i cant. I didn't installed nothing else

I installed with tab help, xubuntu 14.04 but same message. And btw the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" didn't work

Same problem on my R510J (X550) Asus laptop with Kubuntu 14.04. The touchpad works only as a standard mouse and is very difficult to use whith accuracy : the cursor moves as soon as I try to click... I have to touch only the very edge of the pad to succeed. No scroll, two-fingers click and other features. No possibility to change settings : "no Synaptics driver loaded" message in SystemSettings.
WIth an external usb mouse everything is ok.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

mvergnaud,

Please file a new bug report with your laptop model. It can be done by running

ubuntu-bug linux

in terminal. Feel free to subscribe me to that report. If you have a Focaltech touchpad, you can try a custom kernel with a driver for it.

[Pilot6 (hanipouspilot)]

It is fixed for trusty by installing linux-generic-lts-wily package.
