Cursor doesn't move in Ubuntu 18.04
After running an apt upgrade and rebooting, I am no longer able to move the cursor. The problem occurs first on the login screen and after logging in. I am using the built in touchpad on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, but have not tested with an external mouse because I don't have one handy. I am running a dual boot however and can confirm it is working on win10. I have a touchscreen so I can still log in and confirm other areas of the OS are functional. If you would like any additional logs or information feel free to ask.

Before further troubleshooting can you make sure, it is enabled via yourfnkeys? There must a button to enable disable the touchpad.
