I am running Ubuntu 20.04.4 on a Sony VAIO VGN-CS320J. Bear in mind, I am a complete newbie, and know very little about this, so pardon my incompetence.
The touchpad still works after re-opening the lid, but nothing makes the keyboard work. I've tried every combination of buttons as well.
I also tried replacing a certain line of code (I forgot which but I assure you, I had the right line) with the following code:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.dumbkbd=1"
then updated and saved as other forums said to do. The problem arises when I used
sudo update-grub
I get the following message:
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 1: /etc/default/grub: ^#: not found
It's really, really frustrating.
/etc/default/grub
? Readman update-grub
. While you're beginning your Linux journey, keep track of what changes you make to your system, in enough detail so that you can undo your changes. For example, if I told you (I'm NOT telling you) that you should undo your change to "I also tried replacing a certain line of code (I forgot which but I assure you, I had the right line)"?
