I have a hp g62-144dx. It has a trackpad that allows you to double click on the top left corner and disable the track pad.Dualbooting win 7 / Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.haven't booted into windows since I have installed ubuntu.Mouse working perfectly. Installed a track pad virtual two finger scroll - Works perfectly.Booted back into windows 7 for the first time, installed dreamweaver, and then back into ubuntu. Once I got back in, the light on the trackpad is on like it's been disabled?Now when I try the two finger scroll it goes crazy and jumps all over the screen. :(I tried disabling the two finger s
Does anyone else feel that using the trackpad on laptops with Ubuntu running is a lot less smooth than windows? The cursor speed sort of ebbs and flows and changes its smoothness constantly, sort of like randomly throwing a car in the wrong gear.External/USB mice work perfectly, problem is just with the trackpads.Also my trackpad seems to be ultra sensitive on Ubuntu. If my palm so much as comes close to it while typing (say in the URL bar), it throws the focus elsewhere and I end up typing the rest elsewhere. Very annoying. Is this specific to me and (more than a dozen) laptops I'm seeing thi
hey, i simply want to make it so that when i click the middle mouse button or the extra buttons (other that the standard left and right) it presses the super button.in windows this is very easy and the settings are strait forward but i see no such option in the ubuntu mouse preferences, please helpi just want to press the super button with out having to use the keyboard, and it would be great if i could use my other gaming mouse buttons as well.im dual booting win7 and ubuntu 10.04
sync the ubuntu mouse speed with the windows oneyeah.due to that there is no standarized unit the operating systems are working with.....^
I was planning on purchasing the Ubuntu Mouse in the Canonical Store, but I have one question: Is it "wireless"? By "wireless" I mean like plug n play, no install needed, is this true? Or does it come with a installation disk you use? :confused:The description does not provide the information I need. :SAlso, sorry If I did not post this in the appropriate section.
After waking from suspend my ubuntu mouse movement keeps very slow. It seems that it has half of the frames in the movement. But is only the mouse. I had ubuntu 9.10 and now ubuntu 10.04. But the problem were already in 9.10. I believe this problem started when i start to use two monitores plugged to my laptop. My processor is fine and the memory too when this problem happens.I have read many post with this problems since 2005 but none with an answer.If i unplug the mouse and replug it stays with the same problem.
i use a laptop and i find the ubuntu mouse pointer speed a bit too slow, although i have increased the speed nd sensitivity to the full from the mouse settings from the administration menu.is there a way i can increase the speed/sensitivity beyond that.thanx
i had this ubuntu mouse cursor idea, and so i went ahead and did it in inkscape. does anyone like it? or hate it? anyone know how to make a mouse cursor theme out of it? Or know any good guides so i can turn this into a mouse cursor theme?
I've just posted some pics of my Ubuntu mouse mod I did a while ago. I carved out the Ubuntu logo in an old biege mouse, painted it black and gave it some blue lighting. Now I want to show off my handywork (after finally getting round to taking the pics..).Linkage HERE (http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=287&original=1)What do you all think?

I recently purchased the Asus EEE PC 1000. I have installed Ubuntu 8.10 with the custom array kenel (http://array.org/ubuntu/setup-intrepid.html) I have also installed EEE-Control which shouldn't matter but just in case (http://greg.geekmind.org/eee-control/). Everything is working as intended. USB's work (can connect external HD, as well as flash drives). Camera, bluetooth (for my mouse).My issue:When I insert an SD card onto the built in card reader (Non HC, its a 1G lexar SD card, also tried PNY 1G SD Card) I get this message output: "hub 1-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 5 disabl
i got the wierdest messages the other day. i went to shut down a Dell Inspirion 1545 laptop, and about halfway through the little yellow/orange bar the screen went black and it said:"xxx.xxxxxx hub 2.0: 1.0 connect-debounce failed port y disabled" (xxx.xxxxxx being a different number string each time, and y being a port number)it gives me that message for 3, sometimes 4, ports--3 times (port 2, port 3, port 1, port 2, port 3, port 1, etc.). Once I got that while starting up. Near the end of that colored bar, it gave me the black screen, and then this big long list of stuff it was che
I plugged a cruzer 2.0gb flash stick into the PC running Ubuntu 10.10 and the mouse stopped working, it also did not mount the USB drive. Keyboard still works, I can navigate with the keyboard. I tried to do a bit of research but it's difficult with just a keyboard because I have been spoiled all my life with the convenience of a mouse, during the research I found someone who said to gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment out usbmouse and usbkbd so I have done so, but it did not fix anything even after a reboot. I have disconnected the USB mouse and memory stick, rebooted, plugged th
I updated to Ubuntu 11.04 and have had many problems one of which was my mouse cursor flickering and becoming none responsive or it would move around but when I tried to click on things it did nothing but flicker more and I had to re-start again and again, has any one else experienced similar errors?I have a Dell Optiplex GX60 with onboard intel video card, 2.4 CPU and 2GBs RAM.
I'm running Maverick Meerkat 10.10 netbook remix on an asus 1015PE eeepc.This problem started yesterday. When I start the computer, during the period where there's just the black screen with the blinking cursor in the top-left, strange text begins to fill the screen: ^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~^[[2~etc. sometimes it shifts for a moment to a new black screen where this text appears in the center. After this, ubuntu loads, but the mouse trackpad doesn't respond. I login and shutdown using sudo shutdown -h nowAfter a few tries it will boot with a functional trackpad, but it's ba
My mouse is driving me insane! I am not very 'tech savvy' with correct terminology etc... so bear with me. I have also searched through all the topics I can find related to mouse issues but can't find one that solves my problem. 1. When I do any searching on the net the mouse works fine if I am clicking on things like menues, topics etc, however if the page has any type of 'scripting' etc the mouse kind of 'hovers around' on the page. 2. If i am let's say on facebook - all works fine until I open or load any applications such as games etc. Firstly loading times are absolutely insane. secondly,
I "upgraded" from 10.10 to 11.04, and discovered that the desktop no longer has a top or bottom panel (so no access to anything...). Tried finding the answer online with no luck (several people had the same issue, but no answers that worked for me - Is 11.04 a beta release?).Gave up and wiped/re-installed 10.10Then, my mouse does not react for a full two minutes after the desktop is shown, then works fine. In the boot log, I noticed that the mouse was initialized waaaaaaaaaaay late in the sequence, so tried to figure out how to get it to intialize earlier, with no luck (I'm a linux-U
all, just a couple of minor difficulties, I can't find where to change from double to single click on the mouse buttons (I really don't like the double click thing) and for some reason the "Import and Backup" button in firefox, which is now supposedly in the 'library window' of 'show all bookmarks' is missing in my version.I've sent a question to their forum, just wondering if anyone here had the same problem?I read a critical report of Unity on 'the register' but it doesn't seem too bad. Its taking some getting used to but so did gnome/ubuntu when I first used them.Carlos.Sorry, for
I am new to Linux. Loaded Ubuntu 10.10 on an old gateway laptop about 1 month ago. After sorting out a few problems, it was running great. I installed 11.04 yesterday and did away with 10.10. Ther is one problem left that I can't figure out. When I hover on something on the top panel, when the message box shows, the mouse pointer goes away. If I touch the mouse, it shows up again. this happens on other links also. It did not happen in 10.10. This is a laptop with a touch pad mouse. I tried changing mouse preferences but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
After I installed yesterday the new Ubuntu version (11.04), I found myself having some problems with the mouse, more precisely I started having mouse "dead spots" on the screen. So, when I click or try to make a selection in the "dead spot", nothing happens.First, I thought it was a mouse problem, but then the same thing happened when I tried doing the same thing with my laptop's touchpad.Also, my laptop is also moving more slowly since the upgrade. Any ideas how I can solve my mouse problem and why my the computer's performance is slower?P.S. I'm pretty new to Ubuntu :)
I'm having problems with my mouse and keyboard on pretty standard ubuntu install of Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64. It seems to work fine with three harddrives running, but as soon as I add a fourth the OS goes frugal. Basically, the mouse and keyboard just don't work at all, but other processes continue running. What log files do I check for this?I did a dmesg | egrep mousewith nothing prevalent towards the hang up. Also the xorg log didn't seem to have any errors with the mouse and keyboard. Just some initializationDo you think this could have anything to do power consumption of the last drive? Let me k
I've just done a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Grandmas computer and the screen is lower than where the computer thinks it is. the mouse clicks in the right place but the buttons are too low (ie you click 10 pixels above the button you want to click) the screen also falls of the bottom into blackness... sorry about the tilte I want this to get fixed before i have to go)
So I installed latest version of ubuntu usimg wubi and when ubuntu boots up I can't move the mouse. How can I troubleshoot? Not even sure how to access the terminal window. I even tried a 2nd time and not only did the mouse not work but the screen went black.
I installed ubuntu 10.10 and installed latest updates as at 18th March.I have XBMC and PCSX installed.I now have an irritating problem - on bootup neither mouse nor keyboard work.If I unplug them, and then plug back in again they work fine, but clearly this isn't a very satisfactory user experience...Does anyone have any advice? I have seen some suggestions of editing the xorg.conf file, but that did not work.
I have encountered this problem since i am using Ubuntu. After sometime mouse clicking stuck and I could not do anything with mouse, then I operate it with keyboard. When I open some window, I could not scroll up and down and etc.Operation with keyboard is ok but it takes time also. Is it a problem of RAM ? i have 1GB RAM. When i reboot my system, then mouse works fine for somewhile then again cycle repeats :(Could any diagnose it ?
there I have a question about virtual box and there guest addition packages. Here is the source of my VB http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/DownloadsI had mouse integration and usb installed and I was running windows xp But then a friend gave me a copy of win 7. So I though why not, I haven't seen the interface. So I tested it. Too say the least, I wanted to put winxp back on my Vbox . But now my mouse integration won't work. so I re-installed the guest additions. by opening the xp vbox "Devices"->"Add Guest Addition" Then in ubuntu System -> Administration -> "Us
again, My trackpad on my sony vaio isn't working at all in ubuntu and have to use another mouse, its alps pointing device powered on windows and it has a side and bottom scroll, any ideas or updates on how to get it working?
Can you help me to increase the size of my mouse pointer on my monitor?It would help 'these 86yo' tired eyes immensely. I vaguely remember there was a routine in Systems to do this in the past, but people keep changing thing --- I hate change!;) I'm using UBUNTU 10-10!Ta Ustonkey
My first installation of Ubuntu 10.10,the mouse becomes jumping and unstable after updates.
Help! I put Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire laptop and now the keys and mouse-pad don't work!

I installed Windows 7 after I had Ubuntu on already. This obviously overwrote the MBR so I had to reinstall Grub2 (I'm using 10.04 Ubuntu). Before I installed grub2, everything on windows 7 was working fine but then I followed this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...035999&page=15 (the first post on page 15). I got no errors when entering the commands and when I rebooted my computer, I was glad that grub2 loaded and I was able to now boot into Ubuntu.But then I booted into Windows 7 again and realized that only my keyboard works (its plugged into PS/2) but my mouse, internet, and soun
I am trying to set up a minimal 10.04 installation - my reason for so doing is that I want to tailor it to exactly the packages I want (and a British keyboard), then create custom Live CDs. My attempts with the standard installation all yielded .isos over 700Mb, which of course would not fit on a CD.I found the minimal intallation from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD, downloaded the 32 bit flavour of 10.04 and burned it to CD. I then did a clean install this on a standby machine (not shared with any other os), and followed the instructions from the above site. The base
Guys. I installed ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop today. It is not working properly. It gets hanged up time to time. But when ever i press a keyboard key, it again starts working proper but after certain time it again stops working.When i put a usb mouse, the mouse worked properly but not the mouse pad.Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop yesterday (check my signature for stats). I have noticed that every few seconds when I'm moving the mouse pointer, it stops for just a second then I can move it again. This has become very annoying and hard to work with. If anyone can elaborate on a solution. I'd greatly appreciate it.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, my notebook resolution is 1366*768 and my external monitor is at 1280*1024. They are configured side by side, with the external monitor on the right side, keeping the top of both desktops aligned.The issue I'm having is that my mouse can get to the unused area below my laptop screen, where it can't be seen.I have attached an screenshot, where the bottom left black area is outside my visible desktop and where the mouse pointer can get (you can see it there).Can this be fixed without changing the resolution or position of the screens?
I have a Toshiba NB305 netbook with a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 NBR. The touch pad mouse froze in the middle of working, and would not come back even with a restart. It will come back after a full shutdown, but freezes again after a few minutes. A USB mouse works, but i have a kid that makes using it a pain.Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I have no idea how to turn this off:Every time I alt+tab to a different window, or open a new application, my mouse goes across the screen to the center of the newly-focused window.I am using a Logitec Wireless mouse on Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit on an AMD dual-core machine.It's never done this before and now I can't make it stop.It started just a couple days ago.It pisses me off so bad because when I'm using GIMP, my mouse keeps sailing to the most ridiculous places every time I choose a new tool and start to apply it, thus forcing me to constantly ride {control}+{z}. GRRRRR!I already checked in Sys
I have installed ubuntu 10.04 on my computer.everything is fine except my mouse that once a while decides to have is own lifeit start moving all around the screen opening things, copying text from text editors.what shouldI do?
Ok,I am using Ubuntu 10.04 booting up from an external HDD. Sofar eerything hasbeen going very nice and wonderful but I got a new laptop!So, I decided to see if ubuntu would work faster on that laptop.To my horror, the keyboard and mouse would not work! (Im using a laptop so I can't unplug it!)Help please?
My mouse clicks are stuck in a strange mode. I now have to hold down Ctrl and/or Shift to make it select like it used to (and I am getting tired of pressing those for every click). If I don't press one of those keys, I just get a hand cursor that can re-position a window, but not select things.This started when I installed the sugar-emulator-0.88 via the Synaptic Package Manager (Ubuntu 10.04). The Sugar emulator runs in a Zephyr window, and one uses Ctrl-Shift mouse clicks to shift between emulator window and native window. So, I suspect some bug got the mouse stuck in an odd-ball mode.I trie
I would like to be able to use my desktop with just my keyboard and no mouse use at all. I know how to go to keyboard shortcuts and set a lot of those but in firefox I can not figure out how to get to File Edit View menu bar without the mouse. Does anyone have any tips with this or is there another browser that you can configure the keyboard shortcuts for? Thank you for any suggestions at all with making this process easier. I am running Ubuntu Lucid Lynx.
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, when I went to main menu to try to add an apps to my desktop, I think the correct way is to hover your mouse over the apps and right click on your mouse, then Add to Desktop option will show up, but to my suprise, it didn't, when I right clicked on the apps, it launched the apps instead of giving me an option. How can I fix it?
I have a very ennoying problem: my darn mouse (USB) freezes just about anytime it pleases!I'm using Ubuntu 10.4, I keep it updated and I have a pretty normal pc (no laptop, bluetoot thigny etc)Of course, I already tried to search the forum for such a problem and (hopefully) the answer to this problem but every time I try this I end up with gazillions pages and for what I check (and please don't think that I check only a few!) but the troubles that I see aren't like mine... Some have both their keyboard and mouse that freezes, in my case its just the mouse (my keyboard isn't USB).Others just ha
I have a Compaq Pressario SR5250IL. I have 160 GB HDD, 2 GB RAM.I have WinXP in part 1(30GB), Personal in Part 2(35GB).I installed Ubuntu 10.04 ( from CD received from you only)in the balance as 12GB as root(/), 3GB as Swap, Balance as /home.It installed fine.When I restart, Grub2 loads. On selecting Ubuntu, booting fine.When I select any application, the mouse- keyboard freeze. I have to power-off to come out.Win XP boots, works fine.What has gone wrong, what do I do to correct it ?(P.S. I had the same problem running it as Live CD.)
there, I have a little problem with my Ubuntu lucid. I don't even really know how to explain this in the right way. So I just gonna use my title: the mouse pointer keeps rolling around. Here's the thing, whenever I open some file from my laptop (like html file in firefox), the mouse pointer keeps rolling around. It will only stop if i open nautilus. Small problem really, but really annoying because my eyes tend to distracted by the pointer.
I am new to learning my way around Linux. I have installed it from time to time and never did much with it. This time around i want to at least learn to move around a bite. My problem is my mouse pointer disappears when ever i stop moving it. I still have the basic install of Ubuntu 10.10 AMD_64. I remembered it worked fine when i did the fresh install and after the first major update it started disappearing again. It will also do the some thing while I'm in-game (Nexuiz). I had a thought that a default install was not compatible with an x86_64 os. My keyboard and mouse are usb's (Microsoft 10
I got a serious problem with mouse pointer in ubuntu 10.04 and Linux distros based on this ubuntu 10.04When i close and open the laptop lid, the mouse pointer disappears physically but all the left and right clicks are working fine. and navigation through screen is also fine without physically appearance of the mouse pointer...My laptop is ThinkPad Z60t 2513 MCU
Ok... this has been an annoying problem for me before, but now, it's serious.ok, so i startup my laptop, and Ubuntu loads fine. i can move the mouse and click anywhere on the screen... until i enter my username and password and login.as soon as i do that, for some reason, my mouse freezes. i can't move it, or click on anything...i've done hard reboots, soft reboots, rebooting into an old kernel, plugged in a usb optical mouse....nothing. this has happened to me a few times before randomly, though not frequently, and i'd just reboot and be fine. idk what's going on this time.. i don't even know
