XPS 13 9380 + TB16 Dock + Ubuntu: No external keyboard

Brand new 2019 model 9380 + Thunderbolt TB16 dock.  TB dock is registered to system via settings.  I have a Dell 23" touchscreen as a second monitor, a wired internet connection, a Dell USB and a Dell USB mouse connected to the dock.

When I made initial TB connection everything worked.  Rebooted machine after an apt update, and now only screen and wired ethernet work.  No external keyboard or mouse.

So it would seem that system sees the keyboard and mouse.

Linux 4.15.0-1030-oem #35-Ubuntu
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release:	18.04
Codename:	bionic

Despite several warnings on all the packaging that BIOS and driver need updating before connection the TB16, there are no driver, bios or other updates for Ubuntu on Dell support website, Something I have confirmed with Dell themselves.

Anyone have an idea of what will make this work?  Without the dock, system is a very expensive brick! (and will likely go back under 30 day guarantee, which is a shame as it is otherwise a lovely machine.)

Thanks

Have a look at this thread, I can't check it, but the same solution(s) may also apply to the XPS models:

I wrote there what worked for me on my XPS 13 7390.
Maybe only the boot opions are needed, try it and post your findings please. Thank you.
