If this is a software bug then it would probably be a kernel bug.

Thanks for the update Mr. Daniel and Mr. Feng, it was indeed kernel problem

Does "i8042.nopnp" help? We'll need to make the change into the kernel itself.

Please test kernels from https://launchpad.net/~vicamo/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-1886269 . Before we may continue to send a fix to upsteam kernel mailing list for review, so that you don't have to carry that boot parameter, we will need your confirmation that this fix actually works.

The PPA may take up to 10 hours from now to complete, but when it's done please test one of the kernels with:

1. remove that grub boot parameter. If you etched that into /etc/default/grub directly before, please temporarily remove that parameter and run `sudo update-grub` to sync the generated config.

2. Run `sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vicamo/ppa-1886269` to add the repository.

3. Run following command to install ppa kernel:

   $ sudo apt install \
       linux-modules-extra-4.15.0-112-generic=4.15.0-112.113+lp1886269 \
       linux-image-unsigned-4.15.0-112-generic=4.15.0-112.113+lp1886269 \

       linux-headers-4.15.0-112=4.15.0-112.113+lp1886269

4. Reboot and select kernel "4.15.0-112-generic".

5. Attach dmesg log here.

Thank you.

Yes please, I tried as you suggested to install new kernel, but the problem
was that my system was hacked by some other bug with the name 'kluser', I
tried everything but in vain, so I reinstalled system and then kept on
upgrading because updating was still hacked by the bug as it was indeed
imbedded in the hard drive, then I gave command to reinstall original sound
and graphic drivers and the mouse started working. Now I don't know how
that happened but I still believe that reminiscence of old bug is there and
computer sometimes misbehave. As I have fully upgraded the system with 20FF
and keeping that misbehaving also now suggest please should I do it again
or not, as my professional work also suffers being my only computer. Thanks
a lot.

@Jatinderpal, couldn't get you. So you've reinstalled your system, get upgraded, then is your PS/2 mouse working as expected now? If not, and yet the kernel parameter still works for you, then you may choose not to fix it and carry it forever. Leave this bug in INCOMPLETE state and it will expire after 60 days.
