After an update the two buttons for left and right click are not working anymore on my Asus Zenbook UX550VE. Mouse navigation is working fine and I can still use the touch function (2 fingers for right mouse and 3 fingers for middle mouse).
Checked Gnome Tweaks because this was suggested in another post but everything seems to be right:
All those settings are per user basis. You could cross check it by creating new user then login. Check if the problem still there.
If the problem not presented, back to your regular account and delete rm /home/<your-username>/.config/dconf/user (or any file inside there) then logout and login again. It will reset your user gnome session configuration.
It seems like it’s working before login in and not working after my login. so your suggestion might be right. Will it delete my account or what can happen so a backup is needed?
No need to delete you accont, just delete file config with rm /home/<your-username>/.config/dconf/user from your terminal, replace with your usernam (it’s name appear on your terminal, etc. [myname@fedora]$, myname is your username.
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad
Should output what the settings are
gsettings reset-recursively org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad
Reset back to defaults.
Edit you can also do:
dconf reset -f /org/gnome/desktop/peripherals/touchpad/
thanks, after resetting my touch isn’t working anymore and rightclick doesn’t work as well
after typing the first command I can see this
EDIT:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click 'true'
brought my tap to click back but still not idea how to get the hardware rightclick on my touchpad working again. I made the reset but nothing changed here
Probably:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'
You can also do
gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
and
gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
to see the options
For reference: (the schema for the settings)
Does it mean I can choose between using the button or the touchpad?
These modes are available when using gsettings range org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method
'default'
'none'
'areas'
'fingers'
No, those settings are for the emulation on the touch pad.
Edit, I’m also seeing references to areas allowing the buttons to work as well. So this might be possible to choose between them.
okay thanks. I still don’t understand how to activate both (emulation and button)
Does the below work?
In a terminal as your user:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'areas'
If not can you post:
sudo libinput list-devices
it’s not working. here’S the output of the second command:

libinput debug-events --verboseonly prints the command of the touch and not if I phisically press the buttons even tough left mouse is working and right mouse isn’t working
Is it registering touches where the right button is?
Can you try reloading i2c_hid,
sudo modprobe -r i2c_hid_acpi && sudo modprobe -r ic2_hid
sudo modprobe i2c_hid
Thanks
it’s not working… probably the left button registers the touch and not the actual button. So maybe nothing will help to get this working
Are you left handed? From above image it said org.gnome.desktop.peripherials.touchpad left-handed 'mouse'.
I suggest just delete rm /home/<your-username>/.config/dconf/user. It will delete all your customization and revert back everything to gnome default.
Left handed ; Mouse, follows what the mouse setting is and is the default.
Reverting everything to default can’t hurt at this point.
You may also want to switch between X11 and Wayland sessions for gnome and see if that changes anything.
May also want to take a look at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211553
It is a similar issue, but not the same.
This was already suggested and I tried that. But this doesn’t seem to be the solution.
@grumpey How do I switch between X11 and Wayland safely?
At the login, when you pick your user, in the lower right corner is a gear, click on it to select the login type, which should include Gnome on X
