I have a Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB. I was running Ubuntu 17.10 with no issues. I upgraded to 18.04 LTS and now my right-click on my touchpad does not register. I can only left-click.



I already tried the steps listed here, but they did not fix the issue.



Does anyone know how to fix this?



Thanks.

  • There will be Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release notes for information on glitches that will be on the official download site tomorrow. In the meantime you may be able to get help from Ubuntu Development Version. Your issue might also be resolved with the updated official repositories that are being configured today. Look at release day -1 on this page.

  • @triple_helix You're very welcome. By the way, can you link me to your message in the official support forum? I'll participate and make sure you get the best of help. I'm certain we can make it work. I mentioned two methods... one was to use the official support forum for the beta... the other was to wait for 18.04 to be supported on this site, which you haven't tested yet because it means to wait. There is a third method. You can currently use Launchpad. Please link me to your message there is you post.

    Maybe its new feature provide ubuntu 18. I install the




    gnome-tweak-tools




    and there are 3 options for Mouse Emulations. Finger, Area, and Disabled. Here the explanation




    • Finger: use 2 fingers for right click


    • Area: user right buttons for right click


    • Disable: disable touchpad

    By default its set as Fingers, so you can use pointer and middle finger at once for right click

                  Maybe its new feature provide ubuntu 18. I install the




                  gnome-tweak-tools




                  and there are 3 options for Mouse Emulations. Finger, Area, and Disabled. Here the explanation




                  • Finger: use 2 fingers for right click


                  • Area: user right buttons for right click


                  • Disable: disable touchpad

                  By default its set as Fingers, so you can use pointer and middle finger at once for right click
