Hello,

I am on Xubuntu, xfce.
I wanted to change the touchpad settings. I made a mistake. Now, I have the cursor on the screen, and I can't move it; the mouse and touchpad are unresponsive. They only work at startup when I have to enter my login and password. I am stuck on my Desktop, unable to do anything. How can I reactivate them?

Thank you.

Configuration: Android / Firefox 68.0

    Hi,

    Is the keyboard working?
    If so, once the session is open, open a terminal (CTRL+ALT+T), and type: 
    xfce4-mouse-settings


    You should have access to the mouse/touchpad settings. Navigate using TAB and the arrow keys.
