Keyboard does not work for first few seconds

rated 0 times [ 5] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1726 / 2 Years ago, fri, june 3, 2022, 8:10:19

I notice that my keyboard does not work for first few seconds while I boot into ubuntu or open after suspension. After a few seconds it works completely fine. I get stuck in the login page for a few seconds as I am unable to enter anything using my keyboard. I use a HP pavilion 15 series laptop with ubuntu 20.04.3 dual booted along with windows.

PS: Its not the slow keys that's creating this issue

Has anyone encountered similar issues? and knows a solution?

In order to fix this bug go to your /etc/default/grub and add i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1.

Open /etc/default/grub:
```
sudo nano /etc/default/grub 
```

Change the following line from:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nopnp=1 i8042.dumbkbd=1"

Save the changes made to GRUB (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X).

Then open a terminal and run the following:

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Restart and your keyboard lag should be fixed.
