Is this ongoing or is the issue resolved, please?

[slkamath]

No. It is not resolved.

[slkamath]

Can someone help me please

Try changing:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash"

to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.irqpoll quiet splash"

or:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash"

or:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.nomux quiet splash"

Obviously, run:
or:

sudo update-grub
sudo reboot

to test each option in turn.

Thank you for your response.

No luck. It is still not working.

[slkamath]

I tried reinstalling the Ubuntu 20.04, still while installing it'self it is not detecting.

The problem has been posted for a few other users under 20.04. If everything else fails you could install 19.10 and use it for two months more.

[slkamath]

Ok. Thank you so much.

I will wait for 2, 3 months.
