Bug Description

when I updated my system to ubuntu 20.10, the keyboard and mouse no longer worked after a little investigation, I found out the kernel causes this problem, downgrading to linux 5.4 or upgrading to linux kernel 5.8.11 solved this issue, I also found that this problem is present on other ASUS laptop models ( my laptop is ASUS) so you may want to investigate this issue to update your default 20.10 Linux kernel.

We probably still need some information about the hardware. Please either:

  * Use a USB keyboard; or

  * Use a kernel version that works

and then run:

  apport-collect 1902156

summary: - keyboard and touchpad don't work on kernel 5.8.0.26
+ keyboard and touchpad don't work on kernel 5.8.0.26, but 5.4 or 5.8.11
