No working keyboard on Asus Zenbook 14, Ryzen 7, (BX425QA) with Linux
When installing Linux on a new Asus Zenbook 14 with Ryzen 7, (BX425QA), the keyboard did not work.
It worked after the first reboot after a fresh install, and also after running an upgrade with apt update/upgrade.
But after a cold boot the keyboard stopped working again.
The problem was present with Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 22.04 and Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3
Error code during boot:
i8042: Can’t read CTR while initializing i8042
i8042 is the keyboard controller on this laptop and that device does not always seem to work correct on Unix/Linux systems.
This fix solved my problem and now the keyboard works after a reboot or a cold boot.
Use a Terminal and do the following:
– Edit the the grub configuration file with the command:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
-Change this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=””
– to these two lines:
#GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=””
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop”
– Save the change you did with the command:
ctrl s
– Exit the editor with the command:
ctrl x
– Update bootloader with the command:
sudo update-grub
– Reboot the computer with the command:
sudo reboot
– Congratulations, you’re done!

Wrong time in windows with dual boot (Ubuntu-Windows11)
Windows showing the wrong time when using dual boot between Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04.
The problem occurred for me when booting to windows after using Ubuntu, (dual boot).
The time was not correct and “Set the time automatically” needed to be turned off and on to adjust the time again.
Solution number two solved the problem for me.
