Recently I have started having a problem with the keyboard not being detected at boot.
Sometimes the system will find it, and at other times it wont.
Most of the time I have to do a couple of hard re-sets in order to get my system up and running (Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04)
It’s a mystery ?
I think I have the same issue except my keyboard/mouse pointer have not been detected after 6 hard resets (Ubuntu 24.01)
Could it have something to do with the latest updates ?
But I have another PC with much the same Motherboard also with Cinnamon 24.04, and so far it is not being effected.
The only recent difference is that I recently had AMD GPU driver problems with the effected computer.
I also skip between hard drives on this PC, from Cinnamon to W10.
What is also new on this machine is that I often get locked looking at the little turning logo arrows.
I have gone through the gamut of options with the Recovery options and the problem still remains. But, I cant say that I really knew what I was doing with this recovery mode.
A few days ago I downloaded a video tutorial about how to use recovery mode and what it does, so I was not shooting completely in the dark.
After putting a search query into “Brave Search” this is what I decide to do.
I like the “Brave Browser” as it highlights Sudo stuff etc in grey, just like the Ask Ubuntu site.
Action.
lshw -c video

That’s an awful lot of GPU Update.
I copied everything on Terminal and saved it.
About 36 pages of A4 if anyone is interested.
Things seem to be working just fine at the moment.
I will now clone the drive just to be on the safe side.
