I have a Lenovo Yoga 910-13IKB. I was running Ubuntu 17.10 with no issues. I upgraded to 18.04 LTS and now my right-click on my touchpad does not register. I can only left-click.
I already tried the steps listed here, but they did not fix the issue.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

There will be Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release notes for information on glitches that will be on the official download site tomorrow. In the meantime you may be able to get help from Ubuntu Development Version. Your issue might also be resolved with the updated official repositories that are being configured today. Look at release day -1 on this page.

@L.D.James Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately, those methods were unable to solve this issue. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.

@triple_helix You're very welcome. By the way, can you link me to your message in the official support forum? I'll participate and make sure you get the best of help. I'm certain we can make it work. I mentioned two methods... one was to use the official support forum for the beta... the other was to wait for 18.04 to be supported on this site, which you haven't tested yet because it means to wait. There is a third method. You can currently use Launchpad. Please link me to your message there is you post.

Right button event is generated when two fingers are held down on the touchpad when a physical click is generated. The location of the fingers does not matter and there are no software-defined button areas.
This is the default behavior on Ubuntu 18+ and Apple touchpads.

There will be Ubuntu 18.04 LTS release notes for information on glitches that will be on the official download site tomorrow.

I mentioned two methods... one was to use the official support forum for the beta... the other was to wait for 18.04 to be supported on this site, which you haven't tested yet because it means to wait. There is a third method. You can currently use Launchpad. Please link me to your message there is you post.
