    Could you [edit] your question to include: (0) the version of Ubuntu you’re running (1) the brand/model of your computer (2) which gestures you’re not able to do. With this, it may be possible to offer a specific solution – matigo Mar 08 '22 at 12:02
  • I notice that you added two of the three things that @matigo requested (the brand of your computer and the touch gestures you are attempting), but you didn't provide the *model*. There are (really) hundreds of HP laptop models out there :-). Can you be more specific? Not sure that it will lead to an answer, but the more detail you can provide, the better. Thanks! – NotTheDr01ds Mar 30 '22 at 02:39

The gestures at the link you provide are for the 21.x version, if you are on 20.04 the gestures available are different. For example, there are no three-finger gestures are available, and gesture zooming in browsers specifically seem to be a whole other problem (https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/kdrmr0/pinch_to_zoom_and_ctrl_problem_while_browsing/).

When googling touch pad gestures 20.04 ubuntu there are many people having similar problems such as How to set up multi finger gesture control in 20.04 and Pinch zoom in browsers on Ubuntu 20.04 with Wayland which both have solutions proposed that you could try.

Tutorials are also available to setup multi-touch gestures which you could try out:
