I’m just getting back to use opensuse again and installed Leap 42.2 (KDE 64bit) on my Dell 1555 Laptop.
One minute after log on, the touch pad stops working.
I had tried tumbleweed before Leap 42.2, and it didn’t have such a problem.
I have to restart my system to make it work again (ctrl + alt + backspace twice doesn’t fix the problem)
Welcome to openSUSE Forums bluelight. That is a strange issue. More details about your touchpad hardware might help here. Run these commands to start with and report back with the output. Please enclose the output within code tags (refer to the # button in the forum editor).
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --mouse
xinput
This command will show us what modules are loaded pertaining to the i2c device bus (most built-in touchpads and keyboards are connected to this bus).
loading linux 4.10.12-1
error: /boot/vmlinux-4.10.12.1 default has invalid signature.

press any key to continue
And I had to get back to the previous one from advance menu snapshot
hi nrickert and thanks for your message,
I disabled secure-boot, but after that my laptop straightly booted to Windows 10 without any sign of Grub 2,
I re-enabled secure boot but it seems that the Grub 2 has been removed or something, cuz again my system goes only to Windows without Grub 2 splash.
On many computers, you can hit F12 during boot, and get a BIOS boot menu. Maybe see if that works for you.
If possible, you want to have UEFI enabled but secure-boot disabled. If there’s a BIOS option for CSM (compatibility support module), try disabling that.
You might just have one of those systems where the BIOS deletes EFI boot entries that it thinks are not needed. My Dell system tends to do that.
What happens, is it all works nicely for a while. But the BIOS deletes the EFI boot entry for Windows. You don’t notice that, because you can still boot Windows with the grub2 menu.
Then you boot into Windows. And Windows notices that its boot entry is missing. So it reinstalls it. And then the BIOS delete the grub2 boot entry. And now you are stuck.
It can be fixed by booting the install media, mounting the EFI partition somewhere, and using “efibootmgr” to add it back.
The man page for “efibootmgr” gives details, and there are online examples. The “-p” parameter is for the partition number of the EFI partition that you are using. The “-l” gives the boot command, best done with Windows path notation, and the “-L” gives the name for the entry.
Or you can go to full rescue mode, and use “shim-install”. But that requires mounting partitions and using “chroot”.
