[Cialug] Ubuntu 10.04.3

[Tom Sellers]

Well I spoke too soon.  The mouse problem still remains.  I guess it just was on good behaviour for a little while.  
 
I still have a problem with the mouse not being responsive to the left mouse button after a short period of use.  The only solution has been to shut down and reboot Ubuntu.
 
When I check for updates it tells me that I am up to date.

Well I updated what it indicated needed to be updated and I have also installed a Plugin for shockwave flash (Adobe).  Since doing so I have not yet experienced this issue again but sometimes it takes a while.

I looked at the links you attached and the first seemed to be the most closely related.  


It seems that I have to restart after installing a plugin.  Is that standard for Linux systems?  Until I restarted I kept getting the same message at the top of the browser that a plugin was needed even though I exited the browser and restarted it.

Congrats on getting wireless to work! Unfortunately, your mouse issue
appears to be a bit more. . . esoteric.

I did a quick search and found the following bug reports:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/673201

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/658487

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/658820

I skimmed those reports and didn't really find any solutions or
work-arounds (besides NOT using a USB mouse).

Question: are you up to date on patches? If not, try patching ASAP. If
so, keep up on patches as the fix will come through
hopefully/eventually!
