Hi all I installed Linux mint cinnamon 22 last night, and am running into issue where the touchpad and keyboard are not responding. Can you help me trouble shoot this?
#Keyboard and TouchPad not working
silk jackal

hasn't broken since this message, hopefully things are fine now
have tagged it as solved

Broke again last night, and once again this morning
Things I have done:
Disabled windows quickstart
Have also found my model and touchpad specs:
- HP 250 G7 Notebook PC
- Synaptics SMBus TouchPad
To clarify, the keyboard and touchpad work for a period of time (which varies from 10 minutes to about 3 hours) and then stops working

the fact u mentioned it VARIES, is the most puzzling
you could try the dedicated synaptics driver for linux.
will have to websearch it

A few things you can try:
- Installing synaptics with
sudo apt install xorg-xserver-input-synaptics - Upgrading to Linux 6.14 HWE kernel from the update manager or via APT with
sudo apt install linux-generic-6.14
If synaptics breaks even more, revert it back with sudo apt remove xorg-xserver-input-synaptics

So I did change my Grub settings on the 29th, twice, and the second time it may have fixed things as I haven't had issues since then
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1"

Okay then, flag it as solved

Will do, and can always unflag and bump if it breaks again
