Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Suddenly Have To Use Ctrl With Mouse Click

May 2, 2010

Like many others I recently upgraded to 10.04. So far it's generally an *excellent* upgrade. Very promising LTS release. However, mouse clicks are suddenly not behaving as expected in applications (including system config apps). In these, I must ctrl-click to get proper left and right click behavior. Strangely, on both the top panel and on the awn dock, clicks behave as they should. One final note, this behavior was not immediately present after the 10.04 installation. It started the day after the 10.04 release. Currently in the process of checking recent installs to see if anything would affect this.

Ubuntu :: Freezes Mouse After Changing A Tab (with Ctrl+tab, Alt+#) Or Closing It (ctrl+w)?

Nov 11, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 x64 and already am really annoyed by Firefox, which freezes my mouse after changing a tab (with ctrl+tab, alt+#) or closing it (ctrl+w). After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything

Ubuntu :: Single Mouse Click Registering As Double Click?

Mar 13, 2010

About a week ago I installed some updates. What they were I don't remember. After I did that my mouse started acting up. Now about half the time when I single click it registers as a double click. Also when I click and drag to select text anywhere it'll randomly do another click screwing up that process.

So far I think the problem is when I press the left mouse button it registers the left click and then when I release, it randomly registers another left click.

The mouse itself works fine if I take it to another PC that's using windows.

OS: Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
Mouse: Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0

General :: Mouse Single-click Equals Double-click - Can't Select The Entire URL By Clicking

Apr 13, 2011

when i click my mouse on something, it sometimes registers as two clicks. it doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to be annoying. for example, when i click a videos video to pause it, it often opens into fullscreen (which you normally click twice to do). also, in the url bar of chromium, i can't select the entire url by clicking. i now need to use ctrl+a. that's also because when i try to select the url, the highlight randomly disappears.

if i have multiple windows open, my click on the first "x" of the top-most window also closes the next window. i'm on linux mint 10. it's not really important, but it drives me crazy sometimes when my mouse doesn't work the way i want it to.

Hardware :: Single Mouse Click Acts As A Double Click

Aug 18, 2010

Code:
linux-uitj:/home/anisha # uname -a && cat /etc/*release
Linux linux-uitj 2.6.31.5-0.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2009-10-26 15:49:03 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
openSUSE 11.2 (x86_64)
VERSION = 11.2

If I normally click the Trash icon either in Kmail or in Evolution more than one mail gets deleted in a sequential order! I have to press the click button extremely light to avoid this problem. I have confirmed this problem is not only with the Email clients but even with most other normal applications too. I have changed my mouse twice but the problem persists. Both were USB mice. Below I have provided log information :

Code:

Ubuntu :: Weird Keyboard In Firefox - Open New Tab When Ctrl+click A Link

Feb 4, 2010

I have this little problem with my keyboard. When in Firefox, I have to ctrl+click a link about three times before there is any reaction and a new tab is opened with that link. There is not much chance that there is some physical impediment in the keyboard because all of my other keyboard shortcuts involving ctrl work fine, and I have disassembled and cleaned the keyboard on my netbook (eeepc 1008ha).

On a site, I ctrl tab through a bunch of tabs, (6-30), but it seems to not be able to click the button until the visual has loaded completely, which means staying on that tab for about a second, slowing me down massivly. On windows, it counts it as clicked even if it hasnt loaded the visual yet.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Locate Mouse By Holding Ctrl Key

Mar 5, 2010

I currently use a laptop (win vista was the original OS) and I decided to get rid of it. So I tried Ubuntu, bam, no pointer, I changed yesterday for Kubuntu and the same problem goes on, invisible pointer. The mouse is perfectly working it's just I can't see it on the screen. To get even worse and make me want to throw my computer through the nearest window, with kubuntu I can't use the same trick as with ubuntu, I mean I can't locate the mouse by holding the 'ctrl' key.

It's a very common problem with VIA/3 chipsets (which is the one I have) and I also read it's often a bug with OpenChrome and to fix it I may have to modify the xorg.conf. But here's another issue, my xorg.conf file isn't in the same folder as for most of the people: instead of being in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it's in /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.conf, and, which is most, it ain't even named xorg.conf but xorg! Besides, I can't modify the file to enter a command that may be a solution because when I try to save my modifications, it tells me I haven't the permissions and I can't get it to run in root.

Ubuntu :: Map Ctrl+W In Hebrew Layout(which Is Actually A Ctrl+') To Be A Ctrl+w?

Jan 5, 2010

I have 3 layouts: USA, Russian and Hebrew. In Hebrew the W key is mapped to apostrophe, so Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout doesn't close tabs in Firefox. There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Has Suddenly Stopped Working In Gnome - Mouse Still Works

Jun 16, 2010

My keyboard has suddenly stopped working in Gnome (Ubuntu 10.4 LTS, Toshiba satellite laptop, P300). It works fine to logon, and with KDE.

The last thing I did before it stopped working was to hold down a shift key for too long, while I was thinking about what I wanted to do. The 'sticky keys' prompt popped up, which I killed. After that the keyboard has died - in *all* applications (e.g. gedit, terminal etc.)

The mouse still works. If I logout of Gnome, it comes alive again to type in the logon password. I had a look in messages, but without any enlightenment.

Fedora :: Mouse - Suddenly Jumping And Scrolling All Over The Desktop

Jan 23, 2011

Suddenly, today my mouse seems to have a mind of it's own. For no reason, it's suddenly jumping and scrolling all over the desktop in rapid fashion and apparently left-clicking at will. Reboot does not solve the problem, although it became less after the reboot.

Updates today were:

This is a generic optical mouse that's been used for several years without incident.

So, is there anything that might have caused the problem or is the mouse kaput?

Okay, dug through the drawers and found a Logitech usb optical mouse. Giving that a try as it seems to me that the mouse may be shot.

Ubuntu :: Right Mouse Click Freeze / When Right Mouse Button To Open Options Menu It Freezes And Does Not Open Menu?

Oct 14, 2010

just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.

My System Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

Ubuntu :: Left-click On My Mouse Disables?

Oct 18, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my Windows machine a couple of days ago via wubi (with no partition), and it seems to be working. However, I have a problem: When I press any of the 'special' keys on the keyboard (Vol up, down, mute, and various others), the left-click on my mouse disables. I'm using a Microsoft Digital Media Keyboard 3000, which has a lot of special keys (and the f keys are special by default), so I've been having trouble not disabling my mouse. Anyone know what the problem is, how to resolve it? And on top of that, how do I make the special keys work?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Click Mouse Outside Current Window?

I've just recently begun to have a problem with my mouse. I can use it normally in one window, but it will not click outside of this window. I cannot use the title bar buttons either. It seems like right clicking "frees" the mouse, but then it just gets stuck in the next window I open.

Ubuntu :: MouseEMU - Emulating Right Mouse Click

May 2, 2011

I am one of these macbook users who switched to ubuntu and now slowly tries to get a grip on it.
So to get a little comfortable, I thought it would be nice to have a right mouse click. Well I thought it would be great if I could simulate it on my lower right <Enter> (xev say the keycode is 104). I googled and found mouseemu! And it does exactly this! But it is not working (or at least not for me).

I can edit /etc/default/mouseemu
Code:
RIGHT_CLICK="-right 0 104"
and get no effect on the next start up.
(yet ps -A assures me two mouseemu's are up...)

When I try it on the commandline:
Code:
mouseemu -right 0 104
I get:
Code:
mouseemu: can't open /var/run/mouseemu.pid: Permission denied
magum@comp:~$ open: No such file or directory
No uinput device found! Make sure the uinput module is loaded
or CONFIG_INPUT_UINPUT is compiled into the kernel.
When I try it with "sudo" I get no error message but also no effect.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Can't Click Both Mouse Buttons To Paste?

May 22, 2011

As far back as I can remember, on any Linux system, not just Ubuntu, you could use the mouse to highlight a chunk of text, and then by clicking both mouse buttons at the same time, you could paste that high-lighted text wherever you want. I had used this all the time on my previous Ubuntu installations... until now. In Ubuntu 11.04 I don't have this luxury anymore.
