Ubuntu 20.04 Touchscreen on Lenovo Yoga

Touchscreen not working on Lenovo Yoga Laptop running 20.04 LTS released today.

Looking forward to a solution to this issue.


Solution 1:

I had the same issue so a few search.

I went to

https://linuxwacom.github.io/

and chose the kernel driver which led to

https://github.com/linuxwacom/input-wacom/wiki/Installing-input-wacom-from-source

and basically followed the instructions and did a reboot, touch input started to work again.

For my pen input, it was working without any fix required.

Solution 2:

This is a half-comment, but it wouldn't fit or be as readable as convenient if posted as such.

Possible causes

There are a several possible causes for the failure. I am listing here a few, while waiting for your further info (see below).

  1. Power management issues. Drivers often have options for this.
  2. Newer kernel required. This is easily solved by updating the system, $ sudo apt update - $ sudo apt upgrade - reboot.

Further info

Please post:

  1. The output of a few commands below (you might need to install neofetch).

    $ uname -a
    $ neofetch
    
  2. The complete model (e.g., Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 15IMH05)

  3. The output, when the touchscreen is working (WKC) and when it is not (NKW), of (you may need to install libinput-tools)

    $ xinput
    $ ubuntu-drivers devices
    $ sudo lspci -vnn
    $ hwinfo
    $ lsmod
    $ sudo libinput list-devices
    

    Note 1: the output of hwinfo and lsmod is long. You could use pastebin.

    Note 2: sudo is important in front of lspci, as it lists devices capabilities, including power management, see above.

  4. Any information that helps identifying: 1) the drivers used by the touchscreen, by comparing WKC and NKW, 2) hardware, 3) problems (dmesg, journalctl, etc.)

  5. Did you try the suggestion here?
