Touchpad scroll not working properly after Suspend

Solution 1:

After several tries, I managed to find a solution and made it run automatically after reading this thread. I've only tested it on Ubuntu 18.10:

Basically, restarting the touchpad with these commands fixes it:

First run:

sudo modprobe -r psmouse

Then:

sudo modprobe psmouse

But.. I didn't want to have to write those commands after every suspend. So I setup a script running the commands above automatically everytime I resume from suspend

Run commands automatically after suspend:

1) Create script with commands (open Terminal and type)

sudo touch yourscriptname.sh

This will create the file in your home folder.

2) Edit script

sudo nano yourscriptname.sh

Paste this in and save the file:

#!/bin/bash

modprobe -r psmouse && modprobe psmouse

3) Move to your "system" folder

cd /etc/systemd/system

4) Create service:

sudo touch yourservicename.service

5) Edit service:

nano yourservicename.service

Paste this in and save it afterwards

[Unit]
Description=Run user script after suspend
After=basic.target suspend.target hibernate.target

[Service]
User=root
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/home/yourusername/yourscriptname.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=basic.target suspend.target hibernate.target

6) Run chmod

sudo chmod +x /home/yourusername/yourscriptname.sh

7) Then run the following commands

systemctl daemon-reload

And:

sudo systemctl enable yourservicename.service

That should fix it!

Solution 2:

Thinkpad Touchpad scrolling fixed (Permanently)!!!

First, go to the path and edit grub using any editor (run command using sudo).

Using vim editor: sudo vim /etc/default/grub

or

Using gedit editor: sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

Then, replace the existing line code in grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0"

Then, save the file within the text editor.

Finally, update grub.

sudo update-grub
