After upgrading from Ubuntu 20.04 to Ubuntu 20.10 my laptop keyboard and mouse are not working. How do I fix it? Please help me.

    I'm facing the same problem as you when I boot my system from 20.10 on a USB drive on my laptop. – Yousef Saber Oct 24 '20 at 15:46

    Some times an Ubuntu upgrade will make your system useless. This happened to me attempting to go from 16.04 to 18.04. Never again! My suggestion costs a bit of money but, well worth it. Have a spare system, a couple spare hard drives and if a laptop is involved, an extra hard drive for it. Do the upgrade first on a spare system. I acutally skipped Ubuntu 18 because of some issues. Never install a major release directly onto a 'production' system. For a laptop, consider doing a new install on that extra laptop harddrive. – user628388 Oct 24 '20 at 16:23

using Linux Kernel v5.4 instead of 5.8 seems to fix the issue for me.

joseph@joseph-X541UJ:~$ uname -r
5.4.0-52-generic

I've installed Kernel 5.8.16 and yes the keyboard and touch mouse works very well.

joseph@joseph-X541UJ:~$ uname -r
5.8.16-050816-generic

I recommend anyone facing the same issue to mark that on launchpad bug link, so it can draw more attention from developers.
