I am using Ubuntu 22.04.3 on an LG gram 2-in-1 laptop. My computer used to have a problem where the keyboard would be unresponsive for a few minutes after I turned it on, but I was able to easily find the solution: adding i8042.dumbkbd=1 to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub. This seems like a very common issue.
The thing is, when I looked up what the option means, it said it makes the computer unable to control the keyboard's state. While this explains the fact that my indicator lights aren't working, I am confused as to why this would have anything to do with the original issue with my keyboard.
I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me what is happening with my keyboard when I don't have this option enabled that it has to become unresponsive for a few minutes. Also, I would like to know if there is a way to fix this issue without having to disable my indicator light.
Thank you in advance.
