Laptop install of Ubuntu 20.04. It's a dell inspiron 5402 (non touch screen laptop). After it suspends the keyboard and trackpad stop working. I looked into it some and found several fixes.
The problem originally was both of them stop working after suspending or locking. I tried adding i805.reset
to the grub command. That caused it to work for about 5 seconds after locking.
I then tried replacing the i805.reset
with atkbd.reset
This worked partially. They both worked after locking or manually suspending it and coming back 5 to 10 minutes later. However it broke after waking up from suspend after an hour or two. In these cases it works for about 5 seconds and freezes. USB mouse and keyboard don't work after it freezes but do work
I tried combining the two on the grub line and it worked for 15 seconds after. (I did this twice. Trying both as first once)
I saw some people in the past created scripts to restart their trackpads but I didn't try them since it didn't fix the keyboard issue too.
I also saw some people saying you need to remove other peripherals when doing the install but that doesn't really apply here.
Has anyone found a fix for this or can help me?
