[ubuntu] Inspiron 14r mouse topic

Hello,

I installed 14.04 LTS on my inspiron 14r, When it boots up the mouse seems to not be active. It moves around but click does not work. To get it working I have to logout and login again. I have searched for answers on the internet but have gotten anything yet. Please let me know how to fix this.

Thanks,

[ubuntu] Lindy USB Keyboard and Mouse Switch topic

I have a Lindy USB KM switch that I have used successfully with 2 PCs (one running Windows 7 and one running XP) I have recently installed Ubuntu on the XP machine but am struggling to get the switch to work correctly - It will move the mouse from windows 7 to ubuntu but won't let it back unless I shut down defeating the object. I have an installation disk with windows and Mac files on it and although I suspect that the Mac files (in a folder called KMS_Setup.pkg) might work with ubuntu but I do not know how to install them. The original blurb and current adverts on internet suppliers say that the switch will work with Windows, Mac or Linux and combinations of these. Any suggestions?#-o

[xubuntu] Mouse freezing repeatedly after upgrade to utopic topic

I recently upgraded to Xubuntu 14.10 from Xubuntu 14.04 using the graphical upgrade tool. Ever since this upgrade was complete, my wired USB mouse periodically freezes up and the only way to fix it is to pull the USB plug. Usually, it freezes again within half an hour. The mouse and keyboard actually attach to a USB hub integrated in my monitor; the hub is attached to a USB port in the rear of my workstation.

This is an eight year old Dell Precision 490 workstation. I installed Xubuntu 7.04 on it when I got it. I've been upgrading for every Xubuntu release since then, so this was the fifteenth upgrade and the first time I've ever seen this sort of problem. I've tried analyzing the dmesg output, the /var/log/Xorg* files, and the /var/log/syslog* files... I can see the mouse get registered on the system and I can see it get reregistered if I pull loose the USB hub and reconnect it, but none of these sources seem to register any error with the mouse after it freezes up. I've tried reloading the psmouse driver after the mouse freezes up (as my keyboard is not having any problems) and that does not resolve the issue. I downgraded the kernel to the previous version; no love. (Maybe I needed to go further back with the kernel?)

This feels like a bug, but it's hard to even know how to file a bug report against this... Looking for any help on finding information or relating this to a known bug. I've never been this frustrated with Linux before!

[SOLVED] Use Xbox 360 Controller as Mouse using AntiMicro topic

I'm posting this for the sake of anyone else goingling how to use a the 3609 controller (or any controller or joystick) as a mouse in Ubuntu, and in reply to many old threads that never got answered.

Antimicro works much like Xpadder in Windows. It's available through a PPA. (For intructions on installing for a PPA, check out this article on How to Geek under the heading Personal Package Archives (PPAs). Here's the Antimicro's website: https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro

To launch it, search for antimicro in the dash.

There's even a bunch of pre-configured profile for various games: https://github.com/Ryochan7/antimicro-profiles

There's also qJoyPad available through the Ubnutu repository, but I couldn't get it to work witht the 360 controller, and the interface isn't quite as nice.

[lubuntu] How to slow down mouse clicks topic

OK, so I am old and the old clicker-finger is not responding to brain messages as fast as most of you young whipper-snappers here. I am getting tired of trying to double-click fast enough to launch stuff, open folders etc. My available time left on the planet is dwindling fast so I do not want to spend 23-minutes per day playing whack-a-mole with the mouse button.

I used...
Alt-F1
Preferences
Keyboard and Mouse

But, there are only two options, Acceleration and Sensitivity.

An online search returns many suggestions all of which include an option for "Mouse click speed" I know Lubuntu is a cut down version, but did they really have to cut it down this far?

So, without changing to another Linux variant, how do I slow down the mouse clicks.

Thanks
