Fix KDE Plasma no touchpad Settings (Unchangeable Gray options) on Ubuntu And Arch Linux Based distros

After fresh installing the system, the touchpad settings aren’t available for adjusting, all the options are gray. i’ve noticed that in Kubuntu and manjaro, so probably can happen in KDE Neon also. This is a bug in the touchpad driver integration with system, so to solve you just have to install another touchpad driver.





In a Debian-based distro use the next command for searching for drivers:

apt-cache search synaptics

This is the driver that worked better on my pc, but you can try any of these.


In Arch-based distros you can use yaourt or pacaur to search for it.

Copy the package name and use the command:

sudo apt install 

and paste the package name. in my case:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Hit enter, input your password and confirm the installation.

After the installation finishes, reboot your system and that’s it. your touchpad should work properly.
