Bug Description
Downloaded Feisty on 12-03-2006.
Tested the integrity of the CD. Zero errors found.
When booting, the amber scroll bar goes back and forth serveral times and then the amber bar goes back to the left hand side of the scroll window and then proceeds with processing and gets to approx. half way across the bar and then 2 rows of light BLUE characters (look sort of like either periods and/or commas) appear just slightly under the level of the amber scroll bar location. The screen then goes blank and proceeds into the desktop. When it gets to desktop, mouse pointer is on screen but no mouse movement is possible. Light on my USB Logitech laser mouse is NOT on, so apparently it has not been either detected or setup properly.
Since I have no mouse movement, I am forced to reboot the machine into the Dapper install which is on the hard drive to compose this report.
Please let me know if you need any hardware information or any other type of info in order to troubleshoot.
Thanks.
P. S. - I am hoping a properly functioning GUI to use to setup both network folder/file and printer sharing that will work on a reliable basis are a high priority on this release of Ubuntu.

I get the blue lines as well, but I'm assuming that part is nothing to worry about, since it will be fixed as they work on this spec: https:/ /blueprints. launchpad. net/distros/ ubuntu/ +spec/slick- boot
The mouse problems, on the other hand, are an obvious issue. Does the system actually finish booting into the desktop (with icons and panels)? If so, you might be able to give us some more information about how your mouse is (not) being detected:
1. Press Alt-F2 to bring up the Run Application dialog
2. Type in `gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf` (case-sensitive, without the `quotes`)
3. Use the arrow keys to navigate within the file and find a section that starts with `Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Configured Mouse"`
4. Write down everything in that section, and post it for us here.
I'm sorry you are having hardware trouble with Ubuntu, but the next few releases of the X Desktop environment should give us some big improvements in hardware detection. Good luck!
