I noticed there was a bug logged for this problem at the end of june but it has been closed. I've run chkdsk on the disk, dirty bit is not set, so its a bit of a mystery :s [21:23] hello [21:25] ok so, i need to add a few commands to be exicuted when X is loaded. How would i go about doing that? [21:36] ok so, i need to add a few commands to be exicuted when X is loaded. How would i go about doing that? [22:00] ok so, i need to add a few commands to be exicuted when X is loaded. How would i go about doing that? [22:01] * jarnos wonders what Xorg is doing as it takes so much CPU [22:06] failing mauybe [22:06] it still is quite heavy when it works as it should [23:13] for some reason my usb doesn't work on my laptop [23:13] it works in "the other OS" [23:14] what filesystem? [23:15] ext4 [23:16] hmm, sorry but i'll need to go to bed, way too late here [23:17] Ese- whats your problem? [23:18] my usb mouse is not working on my laptop [23:18] it did worked on other OS's [23:18] it works on windows and opensuse [23:18] what type of USB mouse? [23:19] is it generic or is it a brandname? [23:19] it seems very generic to me [23:19] this may help, run lsusb in terminal and post the output to pastebin [23:20] the mouse must be plugged in during this time, if it wasnt blatantly obvious already [23:21] http://pastebin.com/m57248d14 [23:21] hehe [23:21] I'm not that n00b [23:21] didnt think you were, but ive seen people that are [23:22] okay, i think this is the line we are interested in [23:22] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b159 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd [23:22] yeah [23:22] that's it [23:26] hrmm, this laptop happent ot be a HP laptop [23:27] yes, a probook 4410s [23:27] i found a couple of bug reports for this issue, but no answers as of yet [23:27] ill keep looking [23:28] I found someone making the suggestion of trying sudo update-usbids [23:28] run this please, mseg|grep usb [23:28] and magically seemed to work out the issue, but not for me [23:29] mseg? [23:29] it says that is not a command [23:29] kk [23:30] have you tried any of the other USB ports? [23:30] yep [23:30] all 4 [23:30] kk [23:30] that cancels out that idea [23:33] it seems to be a kernel related problem [23:33] man, untill i saw some of these reports, i never thought there was such a thing as too much information [23:33] heh [23:33] http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg1582640.html <---- TOO MUCH INFO [23:34] "I was wearing an awesome "vote for pedro" t-shirt and a pair of white chucks when all of the sudden the mouse stop working" [23:36] these kind of silly issues is why linux is not for everyone [23:36] yeah, and its also why we have large support groups like this [23:37] hello SiDi [23:38] hi [23:39] honestly, i cant seem to find anything remotely useful [23:42] it's frustrating [23:42] such a small issue [23:42] i know how you feel [23:42] I've tried every usb device on my house [23:42] and they all work [23:42] even my wlan connection worked out of the box [23:42] may i suggest an alternative [23:42] bluetooth, everything [23:42] suer [23:43] buy a different mouse [23:43] heh [23:43] yeah, I was thinking about [23:43] this one is not particulary small for a laptop [23:43] ive learnt from experience that sometimes you jsut have to give up, thats why im running a windows server now instead of ubuntu [23:44] whats going on ? [23:44] usb mouse issues [23:44] come on [23:44] well I must say that opensuse completely did for me, what a great distro that is [23:44] http://pastebin.com/m57248d14 <----- output from lsusb [23:44] if it doesnt work right after plug its most likely the kernel not recognising your motherboard correctly [23:45] hehe, SiDi's always on the ball [23:48] SiDi is mostly on the way to his warm bed :D [23:48] Ese: if i were you i would google "usb mouse doesnt work + your laptop's model" [23:49] you can also perform a search in bugzilla.kernel.org about similar issues
