I have a problem with a new mouse that I just bought. I cannot get my new Cyborg R.A.T 3 mouse to run under kubuntu. I am able to control the cursor and click on items that appear in it's immediate window. Example: I can click K start icon, but I can't interact with the actual start menu once I've opened it.
View 1 RepliesWatching dmesg and Xorg.0.log, I see that the mouse is actually disconnecting and reconnecting from the bus frequently. This causes periods of, you guessed it, non-working/dead zombie mouse. When another mouse is plugged in, it continues to work fine while the Saitek is disconnected.
I've only so far tried the mouse on two ubuntu systems (10.04, 10.10), behavior is the same.
System I'm dealing with now (Ub 10.04.1):
2.6.32
Xorg server 1.7.6
The mouse is using evdev driver and is not manually configured in xorg.conf. I thought of trying a different driver via xorg.conf, but had trouble getting the device even connected then.
Attaching snippets of the logs. Cannot post lsusb output without a reboot, can do on request.
As we speak I'm looking for a non-linux OS to try the mouse on to eliminate hardware fault.
I'm having minor, but very annoying, issue in Kubuntu 9.10. Recently I installed the Gnome desktop to see if certain bugs I was experiencing were KDE-centric. I have since uninstalled Gnome (and reconfigured my audio drivers and reinstalled wicd, all of which was made short shrift of by Gnome), but one thing I can't get rid of is this annoying drum click sound in certain applications. All extension buttons in my browser now make the click sound, as well as the TrueCrypt GUI.
I know this is a very minor issue, but I've always configured my operating systems with absolutely no system sounds (only audio and video playback), so I'm finding this particularly distracting. Right now, the only option I have is to mute PCM volume, which also mutes streaming audio and video in my browser...
I'm at my wit's end. I have all sound notifications turned off in system settings (though there were relatively few to begin with in KDE). there's a magic sudo code I can cast to exorcise my computer of mouse click sounds.
Does anyone know how to configure a multi-button mouse in kubuntu in order to use the back and forward keys?

after that im not able to logon on kubuntu. on kubuntu logon screen i'm unable to enter username n password. Keyboard and mouse is not detected but, usb mouse works.
i tried ctrl+alt+esc, this combination doesnt work while booting. i can't use this combination on log-on screen because keyboard is not detected.
Running Landmarq Intel Atom DC330 Desktop I have just attempted to upgrade my desktop machine from Kubuntu 10.04 to Kubuntu 10.10. I used KpackageKit to do the upgrade which proceeded smoothly until the install packages phase, which seemed to complete and then repeat. I don't know the detail of what happened as I was out of the room.
The repeat almost completed, but then I got a set of error messages, which basically told me that KpackageKit was unable to install the upgraded packages. I closed KpackageKit, and closed the machine and tried a reboot. This time, I got as far as the splash screen, but although the cursor flashes, I can't type anything in the password box. In addition, the mouse pointer won't move. Using a different wireless mouse works, but I still can't type in a password.
However, the command ctrl+alt+sysrq+RSEIUB works, so the machine is accepting some keyboard input. I also know from using a live disc that my home directory is intact. I would like to revert to my 10.04 installation, and re-try an upgrade to 10.11 afterwards.
using Kubuntu 10.04. When my computer was being updated sudden power failure forced my system to reboot and in the log in screen I can find that my keyboard and mouse is not working at all. I cannot enter into my system. I tried to enter ctrl+F1 but failed.

Processor is a E2180 which according to the Intel website supports the NX bit. I've enabled the option "Execute Bit Support" in the BIOS. /proc/cpuinfo shows both nx and pae in both flags lines. But dmesg says "Using x86 segment limits to approximate NX protection".

I ultimately ended up copying the packages from the CD and installing the packages and their dependencies by hand through the console.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was trying to setup gogui to work on kubuntu, using instructions found on an ubuntu forum: [URL]. I did not even have Java installed yet, so I first tried installing some of the sun-java6 packages. Usually kpackage is good at picking dependent packages and installing them also, but apparently not this time. Next time I tried using kpackage, I was not able to do anything. It gave me a message saying I had broken dependencies, and should use synaptic or aptitude. I do not even have these installed! I think that un-installing the Java software and starting over should do the trick, but I'm not sure how to do this from the command line. Also the instructions in the link above never worked for me.

On a side note are there any distros that will be more windows like? where i can install stuff using an exe? I'm horrible with this command line thing. It dont even have to install with exe just as long as it will install without me having to use the command line prompt thing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have detected some problems when I try to record sound in my Kubuntu 10.04 system.
The problem is that the "default" device for audio recording does not work but I have to select another device to do so. I always selected the "default" device for audio recoding but currently I have to select hw:0,2 device.
Another odd thing is that different programs show me different device. For example, Audacity shows me that I have the following audio recording devices:
- HDA Intel: ALC888 Digital (hw:0,1)
- HDA Intel: ALC888 Analog (hw:0,2)
- spdif
- default
The only one that works is hw:0,2.
But arecord shows me (when I execute "arecord -L") the following:
Finally, in KDE system preferences for audio I get that I have 2 different audio devices for audio recording:
- HDA Intel (ALC888 Analog): it is said that it will try first x-phonon (CARD=0, DEV=0) and, if the latter does not work, it will try plughw (CARD=0, DEV=0)
- HDA Intel (ALC888 Digital): it is said that it will try first x-phonon (CARD=0, DEV=1) and, if the latter does not work, it will try plughw (CARD=0, DEV=1)
Where is the hw:0,2? and how can I set the alsa system to use hw:0,2 as the default device for audio recording?
All of that would not be a problem but I also have an ubuntu 9.04 installed on a virtual machine (by using virtualbox) and audio recording doesn't work there. I suppose that it is becase of the virtual sound card is using default devices for playing and recording audio.
I must say that audio playback works fine in both host and guest systems. It is just audio recording.
i have tried to post this in several Ubuntu forums, but no answers so far.when i first started the Ubuntu 11.04, it said "..missing graphics..." something and that it would start in classic mode. Perfect, everything is fine, the mouse pointer doesn't move. not even with an external USB mouse.(i use a HP pavilion laptop)

It can move the pointer, but clicking has unpredictable results.The small USB mouse works fine in my account. My regular mouse worked fine in his account, just like it works for everyone else.His user account clearly does not have some privilege that is needed for the small mouse to work, but is not needed for the other mouse.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded to and then reinstalled Maverick (retaining the home directory). After the reinstall the mouse stopped working. It's not a hardware issue as the mouse works fine during the live CD installation. I have tried both a serial and a USB mouse. I have tried reinstalling a couple of times too.
I think I've had this issue before in a previous version but can't remember how I solved it.
I have been using Ubuntu for about 2 years now, and am by no means an expert. As a result I'm sure you will need more information but am unsure of what information that is or how to get it.
my mouse touch pad dose not work it wont let me click anything if i touch it is there any way to solve this problem?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an old Compaq Deskpro with PS/2 ports for the mouse and keyboard. My original mouse is old and has no scroll wheel, so I purchased a new Logitech Optical Mouse with USB. I purchased a PS/2-to-USB converter so that I could plug it in to the PS/2 port. After booting up, the mouse does not work at all. While the computer is on, I can unplug the new mouse and plug in the old one, and the old one will work. But the old one is close to failing, and I need to get a new mouse to work.The configuration file /etc/X11/xorg.conf did not have a mouse configured, so I tried adding the following code to it:
Code: Section "InputDevice"
Identifier"Configured Mouse"

Kubuntu 9.10
Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
My hardware is a Gateway LT2104u netbook.Bought it today, took it out the box and installed the netbook version of Ubuntu.Now here is the problem.The touchpad works fine. I am able to move the mouse all over the screen, the keyboard works find too. The problem is with the mouse click. The clicks are recognized when I am in the 'overview screen'. For example I can click on firefox and it opens. However once firefox is open it does not respond to any clicks. Even clicks to close firefox.
I push Alt+f4 to close the program and then I can click into any other (or the original) programs, but once inside the problem replicates.The problem was present in the 'live cd' during install as well.Does anybody know what might cause this? The whole netbook is useless at this point since I need to click to pretty much do anything in most applications (the Terminal program is one of the few exceptions )
without any warning, mouse clicks stopped having any effect. I can move the cursor without a problem. No apps are frozen and I can type at the command line. But mouse clicks have no effect. The same mouse was working fine before and it works fine in Windows. When I look in /var/log/messages, I see:ondemand governor failed, too long transition latency of HWfallback to performance governor [OK]I don't know if this is significant or not. The mouse is connected via USB. I'm running Lucid Lynx with all of the latest updates.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm having mouse issues with 10.10.
Equipment: Asus Eee 900, Celeron @ 900 MHz w/ 2 gig memory
Mouse: Rocketfish (but issue replicable with mousepad)
When starting a program, the mouse may randomly not work within that program but does work outside of it, or vice-versa. For instance, when starting the text editor, the OS may not recognize mouse clicks inside the program (within the text editing portion, within the text editors menu bar etc.), but it does recognize mouse clicks outside the program (like clicking on the battery icon for battery status). This could also be reversed, where the OS only recognizes mouse clicks within the program but none externally (including the top status bar where the menu options, battery status, and clock are).
IF the mouse is not working inside the program and I click somewhere externally (like the battery status), this seems to temporarily fix the problem and allow clicking inside the program. However, this seems to switch the problem to where I can no longer click externally. This seems to be the only method of switching which area is selectable by mouse, as I have not found a reverse process. This forces me to close the program using Ctrl + Q instead of being able to click out, because the close button is in the top status bar. This seems to happen pretty much universally. If the program is closed, then I can again click any thing on the main screen, including the top status bar.
I am currently running the netbook without the power supply plugged in. I will repost later when the power supply is connected to see if it makes a difference. At first I thought the netbook was locked up, but the mouse still moves and if the cursor is active in a text editing area it still responds to keystrokes. It's not a disasterous bug, but it's annoying.
While Login into ubuntu, open firefox for sometime, my left mouse button usually cannot work, while right button is OK and keyboard is also OK. Mouse pointer can be moved,however left click shows no reaction(when i move the mouse pointer to some certain icon, the icon can be highlighted just as usual but left click still shows no reaction).
I doubted this may be firefox's problem, but when I kill firefox-bin and firefox process through the terminal(keyboard is ok and i can use ALT+F2 to enter gnome-terminal), Left mouse button still cannot work. And then I have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete and reboot the system. My ubuntu is 10.10, updated several days ago(this problem has been existed before the update)
