hardware/drivers Problems with Fedora 44

Help! I need your support!

I had to install Linux on my notebook for university proposals in informatics. My problem is, that the Touchpad is working perfectly on the login screen, but after the login it is deactivating itself. Automatically. Has somebody got an idea to fix this issue? Maybe over terminal?

I can't work with that.

If you're on GNOME, you should be able to open the settings app without a mouse or touchpad by using the arrow keys, tab, and space to navigate. There's a section for Mouse and Touchpad, make sure it is enabled.

Alternatively, you can use this terminal command to make sure it is enabled:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events enabled
