Touchscreen help
#1
:038: I have a hp laptop with touchscreen with dual boot, Windows 10/Linux-Lite 20.04. I got touchegg from Package Manager, but it doesn't seem to work. How do I use touchscreen?
I fixed it by getting the touchegg ppa and getting touche' to configure touchegg. It's working.

Is this an MS surface laptop?

This is just an HP laptop that I have dual booting Windows 10 and Linux Lite 20.04. it says it has Elan Touchscreen. Actually, touch screen works with some things with one tap. Like I can tap the Firefox icon, and it will come on, and I can tap the file icon on the taskbar, but I can't open a file. I can't open documents or pictures. In other words, there is no right click to open things like a mouse does.

*I fixed it by getting touchegg ppa and getting touche' to configure it. It's working now.  Smile

Glad to hear you got it working. It's been my experience that the Ubuntu installer seems to detect Dell touch screens very well but is glitchy with HP.
