Is there anyone who can help me to sort out the issue?
I have tried all the efforts as per my knowledge to resolve the touchpad issue in Ubuntu but I have not found any solution for this issue
Also Same issue with Windows but Windows Driver for touchpad Is available on Lenovo Support website.
But I have required to install Ubuntu In this model- Lenovo Ideapad 330 (81DE00U2IN) Laptop (Core i3 8th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10)
Is anybody have a proper solution for Lenovo Ideapad 330 (81DE00U2IN) Laptop (Core i3 8th Gen/4 GB/1 TB/Windows 10)
for touchpad not working issue in Ubuntu 16.04?
Greetings Rakesh, and welcome! You seem to have run into a somewhat common problem with Linux... sometimes things don't work with the latest and greatest hardware, and the manufacturers often do not provide the drivers needed for Linux that would solve your problem easily. These things usually get fixed over time, but in your case the touchpad solution you need has not yet made it into the main Linux kernel.
If you open a terminal and issue the command below, it should report that you have an Elan touchpad. This is probably ELAN0612 or ELAN0618, but may be a slightly different model.
Code:
dmesg | grep -i elan
This problem affects all versions of Linux, not just Ubuntu. Using an external mouse should work for you as one solution, but there is a fix to make the touchpad work too. Unfortunately, it is a somewhat detailed and time consuming process of patching and recompiling the Linux kernel, and you may need to upgrade the kernel first before patching/recompiling.
The link @arochester gave above provides the detailed method to fix the touchpad. He's a quick one and posted the link before I finished typing this!
Good luck! And let us know how it works out for you.
Good morning from DownUnder and it is good to see ""The Cavalry" have arrived, as I expected
Thanks for that output and responses Rakesh. One question -
I presume the touchpad was working while you were installing Ubuntu, is that so, and do you still have the install USB/DVD? => Yes.
Was that Yes AND Yes? That is, was the touchpad working during the install?
If you have already begun work on the ideas provided above, all well and good, but if not, I wonder if you could provide me with the following outputs:
They will be quite lengthy, so if you like you can put them in a Spoiler as I will show you mine below. The commands are
The Spoiler can be found in your Reply Pane toolbar by clciking the Plus + sign near right. So mine are
chris@Tara-MATE:~$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
# Match on all types of devices but joysticks
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
EndSection

The image you showed is just the result of a file system check at boot time. As long as it is booting okay, this is not a problem.
The right-click access to some menu items has changed in this version of Ubuntu... actually it is a change by the Gnome desktop and not by the Ubuntu developers, so you would find this problem with other distros that use Gnome also. The "new method" that Gnome wants you to use is to put your cursor on whatever it is that you want to right-click, and then to use a two-finger tap (might be a double-tap) on your touchpad. Then the right-click menus will appear for you to use as before. Another solution can be found here.
Seems like a weird new method to me... but I'm old, and I'm not always too happy with changes!
Could u pls tell me the procedure to update the kernel?
Bcz as far as I know even u download the latest kernel ( during updates), system will not be upgraded
till user do it manually.
Is that correct.
I don't think that's quite right, Captain... Linux Mint will offer kernel updates, or hide them if you prefer (see Update Manager preferences). The Mint "Update Policy" will also let you choose "Always Update Everything" but I don't know if the latest kernel updates that they provide are really the very latest, but they may be. Distros like to take time to test kernels for problems before releasing to their users because the very latest kernels may break things. But, with those warnings now given, you can find a couple of ways to upgrade your Ubuntu/Mint kernel here (GUI) and here (CLI). The latest stable kernel is 4.17.13.

I thing u r right dear @atanere ( as usual )
As I saw in my /usr/src & in my /boot the latest downloaded kernel is the running one.
Mine now is the 4.13.0 - 43

I have one more question which Ubuntu version is best for Hybrid mobile App development purpose (React or Ionic) and minimum system hardware requirement for developement?
Hi Rakesh... well, I'm sorry, but I don't have any good answer for you on this. I think that any modern and up-to-date distro would be fine, so that would include Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 series. The biggest hardware issue might be RAM.... the more the better.... but that is true for even simpler tasks, like video editing too. If you later think that RAM is not enough, you might add more, or you might look for a distro other than Ubuntu that would need less of the system resources. My guess is that you will be fine since it sounds like you have a very modern computer. Good luck!
Rakesh before you go (& good work on your part in getting the problem resolved )
With those operations you gave me the output for, that is -
xinput
cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
and
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
... it is worth running those again, and you will see changes. I would save the output of each of them to one to thre text files and store them in Documents or wherever you chooses, as a reference.
If anything goes wrong with the trackpad (hope it doesn't) you then have a reference we can help with to disable it or roll back your system.
Also, Timeshift is a good tool to run before kernel updates or other major changes. See my Tute here
