Bug Description
I updated from Kubuntu 20.04 to 20.10 on my Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop. Apparently the touchpad is disabled by default in the KDE settings - Input Devices for Plasma 5.19.2, since I had to plug in a mouse and re-enable the touchpad. Also clicking on the Help button in the touchpad tab does absolutely nothing.
My guess is this bug is from upstream and a Plasma 5.19 bug. I'll try to report it in the KDE bug tracking system.
