Mouse not working when starting Ubuntu

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I started ubuntu and my mouse isn't working. Even in log in screen. If I shake my mouse all the time while booting then my mouse will work. I think the mouse peripheral hasn't been detected and that's why mouse isn't working. So is there any way to fix this problem OR Can I refresh peripherals by using a command in Terminal ? (HowTos)

Mouse Not Working on Boot 36 weeks 2 days ago

I have seen several topics regarding this situation, but none of them truly address my issue (that, or there are no answers that solve the issue.)

Upon booting into Ubuntu 12.04.1 x64 my mouse wired USB mouse (Steelseries Sensei if that makes any difference) either doesn't work or stops working immediately after the grub menu, prior to the login screen appearing.

[ubuntu] mouse problems 36 weeks 2 days ago

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on a Samsung Q35 kaptop

The mouse pad has stopped working, only the buttons work.

My bluetooth mouse (Dell BT Mouse) was working fine in Ubuntu after installing the OS. I just followed the gui prompts to connect it.

Then, after some time (right around the time I paired the same mouse with the windows OS installed on the same machine), the BT mouse stopped working. I tried again and again to pair it and it failed.

My Ubuntu12.04 often appears stuck - mouse, keyboard, all did not respond, everything stopped. I tried all methods to prove that indeed is a very serious problem. I know many people are like me, unfortunately, this problem still exist in 12.10.

I think the two most suspicious: 1 mouse. I do not use the mouse (I use the laptop touchpad), and never had problems.

I have a microsoft 5000 bluetooth mouse. After some time, i got it to pair with my laptop (Ubuntu 12.04 64). BUT the pointer doesn't move and the buttons work only marginally. The mouse is a laser mouse so it should work well on any surface- this one isn't working at all..

Is there something I'm missing? Has anyone else had this problem? did I really get the one bad mouse of the bunch??

On my desktop, I've got an IBM model M keyboard with a trackpoint built into it (attached via the PS2 mouse port). I also have a wireless USB mouse. My problem is that the mouse settings required for each are different.

That mouse worked like a charm always. After some terminal coding to start work my internal Wi-Fi strange sings happens.

1. Mouse stop working 2. I plug my second same M510 mouse - same thing 3. I plug my third mouse Logitech M310 - working fine 4. I replug M510 to another USB-port - working fine 5. Some time after mouse stop working on second USB 6.

USB mouse doesn't work 2 years 22 weeks ago

Slackware 12.x, xorg.conf, fvwm95, generic 3-button scrollmice, both known to be working. USB ports work for various other USB devices -- card readers, portable drives, etc.

I can't get behind my machine to disconnect my ps2 mouse (long story -- ps2 mouse was removed once, but USB mouse still didn't work), but I'd like to add a (wireless, if possible, but not necessary) USB mouse.
