Public bug reported: Running kernel 5.15.7 (also not working in earlier versions) + Kubuntu 21.10 I have an HP Probook X360 435 g7 with an "ELAN071B:00 04F3:312C Touchpad" The touchpad usually works fine, but sometimes it stops working either during reboot or after wake from suspend. I thought the issue might be related to runtime power-management, but I set power/control to "on" with a udev rule for my touchpad and the boot error still happens sometimes. I haven't had the touchpad stop working after wake from suspend since setting the "on" option, but I can't yet tell for certain whether the udev rule fixed that aspect of the bug because it occurs so infrequently & at irregular intervals.
Additionally, (not after boot, only after wake from suspend) my touchpad sometimes gets detected as a mouse, disabling features like scrolling and disable while typing. While booting I always get this error (which does not break the touchpad): ACPI BIOS ERROR (bug): Could not resolve symbol [\_SB.PCI0.BUSB.SAT1], AE_NOT_FOUND (20210730/dswload2-162) ACOU Error: AE_NOT_FOUND, During name lookup/catalog (20210730,psobject-220) That error doesn't seem to be directly causing any issues because everything still works fine. However, I sometimes get the below error during boot, causing my touchpad to fail: hid(null): reading report descriptor failed i2c_hid_acpi i2c-ELAN071B:00: can't add hid device: -5 I thought the two might be somehow related because they both mention acpi. Attached are (in a tarball because of 1 attachment limit) copies of /proc/acpi and /proc/bus/input/devices, and outputs from dmesg, udevinfo for the touchpad device, lspci -vvnn, and dmidecode.
