Ubuntu-Kernel-for-Teclast-F7

Kernel with working touchpad for Teclast F7 / F6, Jumper EZBook, and other chinese laptops with similar touchpad. Should work with any flavour of Ubuntu.

Latest Patched Kernel Version

4.15.0-29

Please contact me if you have a newer version, I'll put it here with proper credit.

How to install:

1. Install Ubuntu/Lubuntu 18.04 (create bootable usb using etcher)
2. Download kernel files to an empty directory
3. If your current kernel is the same version, then you have to remove them first

    sudo apt remove linux-image-$(uname -r)-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r)-generic linux-cloud-tools-$(uname -r) linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)-generic linux-tools-$(uname -r) linux-cloud-tools-$(uname -r)-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic linux-tools-$(uname -r)-generic linux-generic linux-signed-generic
   

4. Install the patched kernel

   sudo dpkg -i linux\*.deb
   

5. If the system complain about unmet dependencies / some other error, do

   sudo apt --fix-broken install
   

   and do step 4 again
6. Now it's time to update grub and reboot

   sudo update-grub
   sudo systemctl reboot
   

7. Enjoy your working touchpad.
