Bug Description
After upgrade from 19.10 to 20.04, mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. Re-installing does not fix the problem. Problem is not apparent in KDE or LightDM. Three workarounds have been found so far:
1. Boot into recovery mode, then exit to normal boot via "resume"
2. Disable autologin. Allows normal bootup via login screen
3. Install alternative desktop manager such as KDE Plasma or LightDM.
Source package is unknown
Release: Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1
Expected behaviour: System boots directly into desktop, mouse and keyboard both work as normal
Actual behaviour: Mouse and keyboard are non-responsive unless autologin is disabled.

Sorry we didn't see this bug earlier, it looks like it was hiding in the wrong component.
Do you still experience the problem, and if so then in what Ubuntu releases?
