Bug Description

Release: 19.10
Xorg Version: 1:7.7_19ubuntu12

Problem:

After powering on my computer, grub's menu shows the options for starting Ubuntu, advanced Ubuntu options, etc. If I have my bluetooth mouse receiver plugged into the usb port, the menu freezes and a hard reboot is necessary as I cannot move my cursor; however, this continues only as long as the receiver is plugged in. Once it is removed and a hard reboot is done (reboot necessary to unfreeze), the menu allows me to select "Ubuntu" and access the OS. Plugging back in in the OS lets me use the mouse without problem, but relapses if I restart/shut down.

Environment Details:

New HP Spectre x360, 15-inch, freshly wiped from Windows 10 Home and installed with Ubuntu 19.10 Eoan Ermine after failing to dual-boot. My boot order in HP's bios is by usb drive first followed by the system boot option, the order of which does not seem to have an effect on the problem. The mouse is a Jelly Comb 2.4GHz wireless rechargeable mouse (not sure if important).

There is no legacy mode, and safeboot is currently disabled; however, the parity of the option has not affected the problem. The mouse is solely what seems to cause the issue. I plan on testing with other USB dongles for debugging if you want more data on if it's all wireless mice, all usb dongles or what have you.

Steps to replicate:

0 Put wireless mouse receiver in USB slot (Spectre has only 1 so test all of them)
1 Turn on computer with ubuntu
2 Try to select any option on the grub menu. Should be frozen and unresponsive
3 Unplugging mouse should not affect frozen state
4 Restart computer with free USB slots
5 Grub should be responsive

Not sure if the fatal is an issue or not. I'm continuing to update grub.

Something went wrong in the process after applying patches; issue is not resolved. I've looked up the kernel patch guide but am still confused on what steps should be taken to complete the process after applying the patches. Any advice or a link?

Please don't try applying patches. That's not relevant right now. Please just follow comment #3 or try installing the amd64 deb files from:

  https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.5-rc5/

using command:

  sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Had to reinstall OS due to some crash not allowing Ubuntu to load. Cannot install amd64 files due to missing dependencies. I don't think I have the experience necessary to help with this specific problem.
