Alex, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product- support/product/xps-13-9350-laptop/drivers?os=biosa an update to your computer's buggy, insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (1.2.3). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. Also, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible: 1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect): sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not. 3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.2.3 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Critical => Low ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1552938 Title: Keyboard not working on boot and stop job taking forever Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When using the 4.4.0-9-generic the splash screen that asks for my encryption password don't register any keypresses. If i force the laptop to shut down and boot again the screen doesn't even show, it's just purple. But then I can enter my password and hit enter and it will unlock and bring me to the Ubuntu login screen. When shutting down it hangs on "A stop job is running..." (/dev/dm-0 i think it was) until it times out (90 sec). If I switch back to the 4.4.0-8-generic kernel it all works just fine, boot goes to splash screen, I can type in my encryption password, and it also shuts down without waiting for 90 secs.
