I am fairly new to the world of Linux. This morning I installed Ubuntu 21.10 on my Fujitsu Lifebook U749. It's working good but I have the problem that the laptop keyboard stops working after running sudo apt update followed by a reboot. A USB keyboard I attached works. I get the laptop keyboard working again by running sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-input-all followed by sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all in the terminal. The keyboard will then work again after a reboot. If I then run a sudo apt update again, and reboot the system, the keyboard is 'broken' again.

How can I resolve this issue so doing sudo apt update doesn't break my keyboard?

sudo apt update by itself does absolutely nothing, as in no change whatsoever. As such it CANNOT be the cause. – ChanganAuto Jan 28 '22 at 14:06
Maybe one of the solutions on here can help. – random person Jan 28 '22 at 14:17
@ChanganAuto Precies! Ik vond het apart dat het toetsenbord werkte maar nadat ik Brave installeerde via de terminal, een reboot deed het opnieuw stuk was. – ThyArtIsMurder91 Jan 28 '22 at 14:31

The problem seems to happen randomly I've noticed. Sometimes it works after a reboot, sometimes it doesn't... – ThyArtIsMurder91 Jan 28 '22 at 18:56
I'm having a similar problem since today, on ubuntu 18. For me, closing the lid of the laptop and opening it again (then I have to login again) does the trick. Just logging out without closing the lid does not seem to help though. – lucidbrot Apr 03 '22 at 14:16
At the moment it seems like this answer fixed it for me – lucidbrot Apr 03 '22 at 15:26
