Lenovo touchpad not working on Gnome Wayland

Hi,

I use a Lenovo P14s Gen 1 and Gnome Wayland. Sometimes, when I boot Arch Linux, the touchpad is not working. After a few restarts, it works again.

$ uname -a

Linux walterwhite 6.1.9-arch1-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 03 Feb 2023 18:49:53 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I didn't find any clues in journactl -ke and tweaking settings in Gnome touchpad settings does nothing.

You can share the logs from a non-working session here. We might be able to spot something you've missed. Don't restrict the output to kernel messages though and it's probably best to pipe it to a pastebin and share the returned URL so drop the -e flag as well.

Having said that an intermittent problem would suggest hardware failure. Try a (graphical) live ISO image to eliminate mis-configuration as a cause.
