OpenSUSE Install :: Mouse Frozen After Upgrade 11.3
Jul 15, 2010
Just upgraded to 11.3 from the terminal. There were a few hiccups, but it said to run "zypper verify," and it downloaded a few files and finished. When I rebooted, the graphics were fine, but the arrow in the middle of the screen is frozen. I can move the mouse till I get carpal tunnel, but the arrow ain't gion' nowhere. So how do I "unfreeze" my mouse? (Besides knitting it a sweater!) I'm hoping for a "ctrl/f2", and that aterminal can be opened that way, with a command to wake up the mouse dameon.

I run a HTPC which I recently upgraded 11.2 -> 11.3.Most things work fine but I've got an oddity. After the TV is shut down and restored the mouse cursor is "frozen":The old mouse image stays where it isHowever, the mouse IS active, in that you can (blindly) move the mouse, see it mouse-over widgets, and activate them - there's just no visible cursor where the hotspot is.Hardware is ATI chipset (can't remember which, offhand, but it's only a year or two old), running AMD driver, with a HDMI link to the TV.

Every where I look online, people are posting ridiculous non-working ways to upgrade their system from one release to another--they do not work for me and I need a definite expert reply. I am working with a fresh install of Debian Lenny/Stable and wish to upgrade to the frozen Squeeze distribution. Supplementing the word "squeeze" in place of "lenny" in my sources.list file does not work and believe this to be an inappropriate way of upgrading. I have tried upgrading apt, dpkg, and aptitude before beginning the upgrade process, cleaning dpkg cache, rebooting, etc.
After updating the above packages I tried all methods of upgrading: safe-upgrade, full-upgrade, and dist-upgrade. All produce dependency problems and try to remove the gnome-desktop package or upgrade everything else except gnome-desktop. (Other packages are also affected, gnome-desktop is the most important in this instance). As I understand it, when upgrading you can comment out the volatile repositories as well as the security updates, is this correct?--either way I have tried countless combination's off commenting/uncommenting to try to get the needed results. I do not want use sid repos or reinstall.

i'm having an issue with the touchpad on my hp pavilion laptop. as of this afternoon, the cursor has started to freeze immediately as ubuntu is booted up (but it is normal during the login screen process). i think this has happened because i accidently pushed a button i didn't know about right above the touchpad/mouse which froze the mouse, but i was able to toggle this a few times by pushing the button again.
the mouse froze completely after toggling this a few times, and it comes back after a restart but only during the login screen - it freezes immediatly as ubuntu is loaded and the cursor changes from black to white. the keyboard is still functional. are there keyboard shortcuts i can use to get to the start menu or the terminal to try and fix this issue? and what do you think i should do about it?

I've had this issue for years and on several different machines, all running various versions of Debian. I'm using a PS2 Logitech Mouseman 3-button mouse. Sometimes if I forget to move the mouse during boot, the pointer will be frozen. Keyboard works fine.When I remember to keep the mouse moving until the login screen appears, the pointer will work just fine.Right now I'm running 3 computers sharing same mouse/keyboard/monitor all different Linux OS, all have same issue. On a separate 4th computer running Mepis I changed that mouse to a different brand and problem went away. The problem seems peculiar to the Logitech mouse. (my wife wanted a computer that works, no hassles)The problem is getting more chronic. Is there a way to just put the mouse control into a configuration file and run it at startup instead of having the system do an autodetect?

config is pentium D and nvidia 7300 , plus 1 gb of ram ; ok they had an 11.2 opensuse version and installed 11.4 from a cd (or dvd) they bought in a shop , the pc is working ok, but upgrades are NOT , how come ? This looks stange to me
- in init 3 : zypper cc && zypper ref && zypper up does not work : after reboot using "shutdown -r now" the pc is frozen, with the green screen and white lizard (no access to keyboard, nor to grub options), ctrl+ alt+ f1 is ko for example.
- in init 3 and only with 3 repos (oss, non-oss, and update of 11.4) a zypper dup works but a bug with mozilla firefox 4 brading opensuse which is ko . we continued , can one package break down a zypper dup ? ( same ko result : after reboot usinf shutdown -r now the pc is frozen with the green screen and white lizard (no access to keyboard, nor to grub options) )

After an installation of SUSE 11.1 the software management hangs short after it started with YaST2.Kwin sends a message that the Window with title YaST2 is not responding. Only the termination works.What could be the reason, and what could help? Could you assist me with your knowledge?

I have a repeatable and annoying problem that seems to be connected with the graphics card driver of nvidea. I had another card before (7900 card) and I have after having had a malfunction now a nvidea 430. Mainboard Gygabyte with AMD 790 Chipset, GB Ram. The opensuse system is fully patched and updated, newest kernel but the same error occurred with another graphic card and with the precedent kernel and with the precedent nvidia video driver.
Now, the problem is as follows:
System is dual boot with options:
openSUSE 11.4 64 bit

so, last night i checked my e-mail, jumped on facebook for a minute and went to bed. i got up this morning and my computer seemed frozen; no mouse/keyboard, no network visibility.....nothing. the screen was just frozen. tried too ssh into it to reboot, but the network wasn't up on it. i had to hard reboot. NOW, it just reboots forever....and ever....and ever. i have a WinXP partition on there along with my F12 and that wont boot either. selecting a previous kernel does nothing either. it wont even boot off the F12 install DVD. just keeps rebooting. I've never had this happen to me. so, it seems like a hardware thing to me, but i dont know if its my mobo or the drive. i suspect a mobo issue as the drive still spins up and gets me to the grub menu.

I let the update manager run overnight on my netbook because it was taking a while. When I woke up, my netbook was off. It may have shut off during the updates. Now, when I turn it on, it gets to the login screen but the keyboard and mouse don't work. Is there anything I can do without a Live CD? Unfortunately I don't have a flash drive or anything with me.

how to regain some type of display. I was trying to get a printer online. The printer was recognized but would not print. I went away from the machine for a few hours and when I came back I had a blank screen. I turned the machine off but nothing comes back up. All key strokes fail to give me anything.

I'm trying to install Fedora 10 on my samsung HDTV with my PC hooked up via DVI-HDMI. All the text screens look fine, but when it loads the graphic installer, the video gets corrupted, but i have a mouse, but a few seconds later it freezes and hangs, and I can't do anything. Nothing loads. This happens with the livecd's as well.

I keep starting up Fedora and I'm not able to get far (although it's not always at the same time) before my screen will go black, except it shows the mouse/cursor - but it's frozen, and thhen the caps-lock light starts blinking and I can't do anything or get it to recover. Sometimes it happens after 30 seconds, sometimes 40+ seconds and sometimes within 15 or so seconds.
How do I stop this and diagnose this?
I've tried, in the boot-startup to choose an older kernel version, butt the same thing occurs!
I have:
Fedora 11
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11 i586
Asus EEE PC 1002HA
One other thing, it does always seem to happen after I've turned on wireless. And I've been using F11 for months now with no issue.

I run Ubuntu (10.10) from a flash drive on my Dell computer. Yesterday when I tried to upgrade it to 11.04 After downloading a lot of files, and then installing most of them, my computer froze.When I restarted my computer, It went straight to booting Windows XP. I didn't get a GRUB screen at all.So somehow GRUB and Ubuntu got screwed up, and I'm wondering if there's anyway I could salvage what I have (I know I can use a Live CD to get my files off of there). So is there any way I could avoid having to do a clean install? Could I possibly salvage the files which upgrade to 11.04?

After upgrading from 11.1 to 11.4, USB-Mouse and USB-Keyboard aren't working anymore. Only a PS2-Keyboard works. The (wired) LAN is disabled as well. During Upgrade-Process all these devices were running (e.g.downloading from online-repositories was working).Maybe its the problem, that there are some modules missing:lsmod found only: dm_mod, sg, ohci_hcd, ehci_hcd, ssb, mmc_core, usbcore, pcmcia, pcmcia_core, edd but no usbhid! (I think that is needed for the usb mouse) The boot-log says:"eth0 No interface found"But the Mouse is detected (during boot and when plugged on later) and only does not work:"usb 4-2: New USB device found.....usb 4-2: Product USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse"(By the way, a USB-Memory-Stick is working)Mouse-Section at xorg.conf is fine (with Driver "mouse"), xorg.0.log says at top:(**) | -->Input Device "Mouse[1]" ; that is the correct one, but later on:(WW) AllowEmptyInput is on, devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled(WW) Disabling Keyboard[0](WW) Disabling Mouse[1]It might also be some problem with the AMD/ATI Chipset (740G, SB700) although the USB-Ports are on southbridge but the LAN-Jack is on Northbridge and although everything was working fine with Suse 11.1.

I just upgraded from Lenny to Squeeze and now when I enter startx I get a solid black screen and the computer does not respond to any keyboard input. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, Ctrl-Alt-Delete, Esc, Alt-F2, Alt-F4, etc. all do nothing. No beeps or anything. I have an NVidia graphics card and have been using the proprietary NVidia drivers. I originally thought the problem might be related to this driver but I tried both the nv and vesa drivers and got the same results.
Attached is my Xorg.log.0 file. It just ends after the GLX extension initialization.I am able to use ssh to login after running startx. Running "ps aux" from the remote machine I did not see a process for X. I copied the output below the Xorg.log.0 file.

On one of my computers I did something I rarely do--used the version upgrade method. I went from 9.10 to 10.04. I normally upgrade by burning a CD, wiping / and clean installing the new version.
This HP desktop was BLAZINGLY fast prior to this; now it's slower than frozen molasses.
Seriously, it's awful. It's like everything freezes, including the clock--say it's 1:11:23, it stops there and when it starts again it'll be 1:14:05 (or whatever!). And it does that continually. Meanwhile the trackball works as far as moving the pointer, but it's impossible to actually *do* anything.
I'm really, really glad I left my other four computers running 9.10 for the time being.
I'm going to do a fresh install with a CD, but I'm just curious if anyone else has had this experience after doing a version upgrade? I did it this time because I'm lazy and it was so easy!

I'm running slackware-current in a virtual machine on virtualbox 4, 512 mb ram, 1gb swap.Everything works fine, except the x11 mouse. Xfce will start up fine, and show the 'tips and tricks' dialog, and then freeze. I can't change to a TTY, or click. The mouse moves, but doesn't click.

I just bought a Fujitsu Esprimo P1500 computer with Windows 7 Home Premium. When I try to install OpenSuse 11.2, the keyboard works in the first screen, so I can select "Installation" with the arrow keys. But when the next screen comes up (select keyboard etc.), neither keyboard nor mouse work. Well, the CapsLock and NumLock LEDs light up, but that is all (and hitting the corresponding keys does not turn them off.)

I have a weird situation. After installing openSUSE 11.2 on a machine it has no response to the keyboard and mouse. I then installed Mandriva 2010 on the machine and the keyboard and mouse work.

I just installed the new OpenSuSE 11.2 release and after coming up in graphical mode the keyboard and mouse are not responding at all.
After that via a remote login force the machine back to runlevel 3 and this makes it able to login to the console and trying to start sax2 to make a new X configuration.
Well it doesn't read the old configuration but gets stuck as well.
The install was an update from OpenSuSE 11.1.
