    I reverted back to Kernel 5.4.0-42. This did cure my keyboard issue. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1274890/ubuntu-20-04-keyboard-not-working was the link that I used.

    No I reverted back to the previous kernel & the keyboard & mouse work great. The link I got the info from is https://askubuntu.com/.

    Was a bit fast suggesting it is this bug. It sounds like it, but so far for HP and Acer's using the 5.4.0-45 Kernels. Should list your computer and your kernel to make sure. uname -a in terminal for kernel. External USB or wireless keyboards and mice do seem to work. – crip659 Sep 14 at 11:29...

    I reverted back to an earlier version,18.04 when keyboard & touch pad worked but that did not fix my problem. I think this could be an Acer internal problem & not a Linux kernel issue!!!!

    The keyboard did work well during the Grub menu screen. Inputting the /bin/bash with the keyboard but stopped working after reboot!!!!

    I looked at reverting back to previous kernel but that is way to much for a newbie like me with limited computer skills.

    The answer to question 1 is the keyboard but not the mouse work in BIOS environment, I do have a USB stick with ubunto 18.04 ( upgraded from that to 20.04 ) & any important files are on a flash drive.
