Various no of problems

[One sapien]

1 Touch-pad not working after an update.

2 Ctrl key behaves erratically randomly sometimes and gets stuck, thus affects every operation of system.

3 Down (arrow key) used to be stuck despite not being pressed. It is disabled by system internally. Though works for external keyboard.

4 During booting various code and file checking seems to happen. Image attached.

5 During startup cant access grub.

6 Many drivers seem to be missing

I know all of these might not be bugs bus these seem to be related to each other as these happened in short span last 3 days in which I also tried to install some synaptic drivers and some updates.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

~$ apt-cache policy pkgname
N: Unable to locate package pkgname

output(1) cat /proc/version_signature > version.log
no output moved for nxt command line

output(2) sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log
pcilib: sysfs_read_vpd: read failed: Input/output error

Thanks
