    Touchpad tapping disable in new install

    I recently installed minimal Kubuntu on my laptop (Acer Aspire 7570-7657). The installation just go great, without any problem. The only post installation issue was that the tapping functionality of my Synaptic touchpad was disabled, and can't enable in the Plasma Stettings.

    Hopefully I managed to work around thanks to AI. I edited the touchpad config file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and added Option "Tapping" "True" in the section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall". The section look like this after the change:

    Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    Driver "libinput"
    Option "Tapping" "True"
    EndSection

    I hope this info should be helpful for someone facing the same problem.
