Keyboard and mouse/touchpad lock up waking up from suspend mode

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS. As my laptop is quite dated and as I don't have an SSD, it takes a long time to boot into OS so I always leave the computer in suspend mode. Problem is about 1 of 5 times I switch on the PC from suspend mode, keyboard and mouse functions are gone after I hit the first key on my keyboard to enter my login password. As soon as I hit the first key, login password box is full of dots (like keyboard is stuck and fills the box with letters). In this case I need to go back to suspend mode (via touchscreen) and switch it on again.

Looking forward to hear your advice on this weird problem.

Do you want to post your solution as an answer? Give some details of how you disabled repeat keys - it could help someone else. — Will, Nov 03 '21 at 13:03

I solved the problem by disabling repeat keys function via settings > universal access > typing tab.

Edit: Sorry, I thought that I had solved the problem but it persists. It happened again just now. I wasn't able to login when I resumed the pc from suspend mode. Keyboard and touchpad wasn't working. I had to suspend the pc again via touchscreen and everything working fine now.

How does this solve the problem of rogue letters being typed when trying to login?! – Will Nov 03 '21 at 13:04
@ Will I don't know, but for me it worked. – Joepie Es Nov 03 '21 at 15:37
