Hi and Welcome !
Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
Press c to edit GRUB Menu at startup and add "i8042.nokbd" at end of kernel line. Check if it works.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Is there a way to enter grub from within Ubuntu? I can't type in the command line, as it fills with random signs.

Open /etc/default/grub file with root privileges.
Press Alt+F2 and type this
Add i8042.nokbd option in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line.Code:gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
Save file and execute sudo update-grub command.Code:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nokbd"
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
