Provavelmente, porque há algo errado com a instalação synclient
. Reinstale e reinicie.
Tendo acabado de atualizar para o Ubuntu 15.04 (de 14.04 até 14.10), meu touchpad não parece estar funcionando. No entanto, ainda é possível usar um mouse conectado via USB.
Seguindo as instruções aqui , tentei diagnosticar o problema com os seguintes resultados:

Não vejo nada nos resultados para sugerir que tenho um problema e ainda não encontrei soluções para problemas semelhantes que funcionaram para mim.
Eu gostaria de receber qualquer ajuda neste assunto.
