I had the same problem on my new laptop (Clevo P650RA), and adding 'i8042.reset' to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT fixed it for me. Shouldn't this be enabled by default?
This is on "Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) - Release: 16.04" by the way. My exact kernel error was: i8042: failed to resume active multiplexor, mouse won't work In that case, the mouse indeed didn't work, but neither did the touchpad. Closing the laptop lid, waiting for a couple of seconds for it to suspend again and reopening the laptop lid was a workaround to resolve the situation, but the i8042.reset takes away the need to do so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014240 Title: [Asus eeepc 1225B] Keyboard and Touchpad randomly not working at startup Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Usually, once every 5-6 times when I reboot or awake form hibernate, the touchpad and keyboard do not work: no way to input text and login so I need to hard reset the laptop. I can ssh in (so the system is not frozen) and Fn+keys to change screen brightness etc always work. I collected X and kernel logs when it happens (by logging in remotely via SSH) but I'm not able to understand what is going on.
