Hey everyone,

In my desktop PC I'm having a weird problem. Whenever I boot into Ubuntu
and login the mouse doesn't work. It won't "turn on" by default and even
the clicks don't get registered. When I log in it keeps like this until
I open Firefox, then the mouse works like it should.


Also, if I log out and log in after the mouse works it keeps working
normally.


This is a problem that only occurred recently.

This is a desktop with Ubuntu 12.04, AMD phenom processor, AMD HD Radeon
graphics card with the privative video drivers. The mouse is a regular
Hyundai Corporation USB mouse.

I open firefox using keyboard shortcuts: open unity's dash, then type
"fire" for firefox and then enter.


I did the log out and log in again after the mouse worked, so it was
the the menu on the top right corner.


I recently realized that it starts working after I open Thunderbirdt,
probably after I open any program the mouse works. Or maybe I just need
to give it some time after I log in to make it work.

It is fairly crucial to determine whether this is the case (just
waiting). Presumably by now you know the answer.

hmmm, you're right. I have to wait around a minute after booting Ubuntu
so that the mouse responds and works as it should. I rebooted and
waited before logging into any of the user accounts in this pc.

OK, it appears to me from what you have described so far is that your
system (about which you have no mention) is a bit slow [***] and the
reason why the mouse is not working is that the system is still in its
"start up
stage and therefore is not ready to receive commands/input. I have the
same with one of my comuters where I have to wait until the HDD activity
has stopped (meaning that the system has started all the necessary
system files) before doing anything.


[***] By this I mean that either the cpu is slow and/or you do not have
sufficient RAM installed. There are other considerations as well but
these will do for the moment.)

The OP said he was able to startup Firefox using the keyboard whilst
the mouse was not working. It is a bit odd that it is able to start
FF but not able to work the mouse. I have seen the mouse unresponsive
under swapping for example but in that situation it would take forever
to start FF.

Hazan, can you give us more detail on exactly what happens with the
mouse? After login but while it is not working do you see the mouse
cursor? Does the cursor move with the mouse? Does the mouse work on
the login screen (again, is there a cursor, does it move, can you
click on different users)?

Once I boot into Ubuntu the physical mouse is "off" (the red led is
off) after something like a minute passes. Even if I click, which
activates the mouse, the cursor is non-responsive to the mouse
movements and clicks. Yes, there is a cursor in the screen all the
time, but it only works after the mouse "activates", that is, after
waiting something like a minute. Doesn't matter if I'm on lightDM or if
I have logged into any user, one minute after I boot into Ubuntu the
mouse works. It's only in that minute that the mouse is completely
non-responsive.

I agree. I didn't want to complicate matters with more
questions/scenarios but I wondered what sort of mouse and keyboard were
being used: PS/2 or USB or wireless combo. A USB mouse, for example, may
not not work if it sitting on the same channel which is being by another
device until that device has 'released' the channel.


I have also suffered from mouse inactivity with a wireless USB
k/board/mouse combo when the USB transmitting/receiving 'station' got
itself lodged behind the (LCD) monitor and as a result the monitor's
electronics affected the signal and the mouse would not work.



I have seen the mouse unresponsive
under swapping for example but in that situation it would take forever
to start FF.


Hence the question about the system being used.

It also matters from what I have read in the past which version of
Firefox is being used. There was one version, if memory serves me right,
that was a resource hog. (I am currently using 17.0a.1 Nightly and it is
brilliant.)

Hazan, and all others, please forgive me but I have forgotten what was
said before this and have to ask this question again (if it was already
asked before): do you have the proper graphics driver installed in your
system for your graphics card?


Some problems with regards to mices have been caused by having the
basic, default, video driver installed on the system. Just as an
example, the default video driver usually installed by a system for a
nVidia graphics card is called 'nouveau' but then when you install the
latest nVidia driver (from the nVidia site), which is driver #295.59,
all problems disappear.
