I’m completely new in using Linux. I’ve installed Manjaro Gnome with which I have a problem.
The synaptics touchpad isn’t detected and not working.
My laptop Lenovo Ideapad s145 15IIL 81w8
Please help me it’s so uncomfortable to use mouse. thank you in advance
how can I see information about my laptop?
It’s in the two links - specifically in the second one.
in a terminal:
export LANG=C
inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width
lspci
lsusb
and/or
lsusb -t
and some more, mentioned in the first post of the second link
According to the Touchpad Synaptics article from the ArchWiki you could try to install the Synaptics driver you be might missing via
sudo pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
~ export LANG=C ✔
~ inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width ✔

Can you please format all that as “code” using this button in the editor window
</>
highlight everything, then use that button
It’s pretty unreadable as it is …
Yes, I’ve corrected it.
I cannot identify your touchpad in any of the output.
I do not know how to look for it.
I cannot even find it on my own laptop - even though it clearly is there and functional. 
Each of these shows some evidence that it is there - and where:
sudo dmesg | grep input
sudo dmesg | grep seri
sudo dmesg | grep touch
sudo dmesg | grep Touch
sudo dmesg | grep Syn
I cannot help further. Sorry!
