I'm using a fresh install 18.10 on my Samsung Serie 5 Ultra 530U3C A0L notebook.



I really enjoy the Linux experience so far and everything I need works out of the box for me. The only thing missing is tap to click. How can I activate it? I looked for an option in lxqt but couldnt find one.
I googled a bit and found this: synclient tapbutton1=1 but typing this in the terminal did not help.



Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    Activating TAP to click with xinput via command line :





    1.Find your device id (in my case 13 bellow ):



    root@lubuntu:~# xinput list



    Look for:



        ⎜   ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad                  id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]




    2.Find the "Tapping" desired option code (in my case 283 bellow) :



    root@lubuntu:~# xinput list-props 13



    Look for:



        libinput Tapping Enabled (283): 0




    3.Activate it with "1" using:



    root@lubuntu:~# xinput set-prop 13 283 1





    4.List props once more to confirm:



    root@lubuntu:~# xinput list-props 13



    Look for:



        libinput Tapping Enabled (283): 1




    Enjoy.

    • This method would be better as it does not require to make any new file or something. At first, worked for me. But after I reboot, I have the same problem again. Something is missing. Its not permanent.

    I'm new to Linux and just installed Lubuntu on an older Toshiba laptop (dual boot with Windows 10).
    I do not know how to create a file then add content as shown. Do I need to fully educate myself on file creation, editing system files and things like that before I can understand the instructions here (feels like I'm learning DOS again)? Where is a good Linux primer?
