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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1014240 Title: [Asus eeepc 1225B] Keyboard and Touchpad randomly not working at startup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1014240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
