Might be possible that your Ubuntu doesn't support Touchpad. To be sure, try this command:



less /proc/bus/input/devices


After that or if you have already done step 3 you can try the following commands:



sudo rmmod i2c_hid
sudo modprobe i2c_hid


If the above command shows you 'touchpad', then you will have to update your GRUB.
Here's how:



First execute the command:



sudo nano /etc/default/grub



and then,
Replace the command:



GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"



with this below command:



GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash"



Save your file and exit.



Again, run this command:



 sudo update-grub


and then restart your laptop. If all goes well, your issue will no longer be in existence. Let us know the update via the comments section.
