We are going to release a new kernel soon, right now it is in the proposed channel, Welcome to test with the new kernel:
edit the $rpi_rootfs/etc/apt/sources.list and add: deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports eoan-proposed main restricted deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports eoan-proposed universe deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports eoan-proposed multiverse boot the rpi board, then run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt install linux-image-5.3.0-1013-raspi2 sudo reboot Then you could do the test with the proposed kernel. At least the 1013 kernel fixed these bugs compared with 1012 kernel: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850876 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852510 ** Summary changed: - USB not working under arm64 on Pi4 + USB not working under arm64 on Pi4 with 4G ram -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-raspi2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1848790 Title: USB not working under arm64 on Pi4 with 4G ram Status in linux-raspi2 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux-raspi2 source package in Eoan: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu 19.10 arm64 on a Raspberry Pi 4 does not recognize a keyboard which works successfully on the same Raspberry Pi 4 with Ubuntu 19.10 armhf. Both USB hubs (2 and 3) were tested, without the OS seeing the keyboard on either. Booting the arm64 image on a Raspberry Pi 3, the keyboard worked successfully.

Note that this bug does not affect Pi 4Bs with less than 4Gb of RAM.
