dmesg command in terminal gives info on error messages on why certain things don't work. You can look for your self for touchscreen related errors.

Quote
The output of dmesg is maintained in the log file /var/log/dmesg, and it can thus also be easily viewed by reading that file with a text editor, such as vi or gedit, or with a command such as cat, e.g.,
 <blockquote>   cat /var/log/dmesg | less

Also, have you set it up that also the login/lock screen is showing the onboard keyboard?

No. Because I have a working keyboard.

Just gave it a try with LL 3.2 64bit.

The stylus is working, also with the installed onboard keyboard. :)

However not the touch screen :(
What did you do to get it working?

Also, have you set it up that also the login/lock screen is showing the onboard keyboard?

Thanks. I have a Dell XT2 Touchscreen Laptop. It runs Linux-Lite 2.8 still. It is not as rugged as the Intel Classmate touchscreen netbook is. I used to carry the XT2 in a over the shoulder mail bag on my body while riding motorcycle.

This install just moves the gear from my body to the internal motorcycle saddle bags is all.

The Dell has a Wacom style pen that has mouse buttons and works fine in LL 2.8 for me.
On the little Intel ClassMate Netbook. The pen is just a injected molded plastic pen with
no electronic switches or wiring in it. Kinda like a Palm Pilot pen.

Ubuntu and touchscreens have come a long way IMO. It is a added bonus about the Samsung S7 Edge Phone
compatibility for me.

Hey Rok,

Thanks for sharing! :)

Encourages me to give it another try with a Toshiba Portege M700.
The superficial attempts some time ago to utilize the touchscreen and pen/ink capabilities all failed.
And this configuration doesn't look that straight forward :D

Have fun with your little bike companion :)

harry@shop1:~$ which onboard
/usr/bin/onboard
harry@shop1:~$ cat /etc/llver
Linux Lite 3.2
harry@shop1:~$

Needed a external keyboard as number lock was on during live run
keymap was like this
p = *
l = 3
m = 0

After making my ide pata Kingspec SSD like so for the install <This ssd does not support trim, or journaled file systems>

Code: [Select]
harry@shop1:~$ sudo parted -l
[sudo] password for harry:
Model: ATA KingSpec KSD-ZF1 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 63.3GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:

 2      12.0GB  63.3GB  51.3GB  primary  ext2

After using external keyboard to run the installer and reboot. I fixed the issue with

Code: [Select]
harry@shop1:~$ apt-cache policy numlockx
numlockx:
  Installed: 1.2-7
  Candidate: 1.2-7
  Version table:
 *** 1.2-7 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
N: Ignoring file '20auto-upgrades.ucf-dist' in directory '/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
harry@shop1:~$

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock

I disabled my problem with my number locks enabled with just

Code: [Select]
numlockx off
No need for a external keyboard anymore. My P,L,M keys now work on the netbook keyboard.

Notice no /swap partition on here. I have 2 gig of ram on this touchscreen. Touch screen works by the way. I am using the onboard keyboard on it. You can see the executable in my inxi readout above under which onboard command.

Reason for this install is. I needed a small netbook for my motorcyle saddlebags that would interface with my Samsung S7 Edge Android 6 Marshmellow phone. Which LL 3.2 does when I turn on MTP share on my phone under developer tools and usb tether on. I already loaded up all my mp3 and Iphone 5S (already sold)  pictures from my old phone through to the new phone using LL.

LL= Linux-Lite

Hint for 1024X600 netbook users. Alt+left mouse click is your friend when needing to grab a window for a open gtk window and move it up to get to a button not seen yet on the bottom.



Fresh install was done this evening.
llver fix done as Jerry suggested here

Mods. If the thread needs to be moved. Okey dokey then.
Happy Trails, Rok
