Kubuntu 18.10 touchpad cannot be configured
Most of the touchpad settings are grayed out, so I can't alter things like touchpad sensitivity our multi-finger clicks. I ran Official Ubuntu (GNOME) 18.10 a few days ago on the same laptop without these issues.
My touchpad dos not appear to be synaptics, so I don't think the other questions apply
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SYNA7813:00 06CB:1788 id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SYNA2B31:00 06CB:7F8C Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]

Seems related to this bug with no resolution in the short term.

I ended up solving this by installing a different touchpad driver. I believe I used xserver-xorg-input-synaptics apt package which does work as well as the GNOME driver but at least enables configuring through the standard Kubuntu GUI.
