Bug Description

When the computer boots the mouse is not recognised, you have to manually unplug it and plug it back for it to be recognised. This only happened after upgrading to 12.04.

What is also significant is that it only happens when the computer is shutdown and booted. If it is rebooted using 'restart' then the mouse is recognised on boot.

USB legacy support is turned on in the BIOS.

In my case, (and others who responded to my question on Launchpad), the problem is that the mouse and keyboard don't work at all, not even if you unplug them and plug them in again.

The live CD works on that system (that is to say, the mouse and keyboard work). Interesting to note that after Ubuntu 12.04 failed, I tried an upgrade to the current version of Mint. It did exactly the same thing. Yet in both cases, the live CD works, just not the upgraded system.

I haven't tried a clean install as I have several user accounts I have to migrate off the mahine first and I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hello Manny,

I had similar problem. I think, it has something to do with the kernel
upgrade. I do not have a real solution, but i do have a simple
workaround. It did work for me.

Just put lines below into the /etc/rc.local file as administrator
(before exit 0)

modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
modprobe hid_logitech_dj

save file, and restart. Now mouse and keyboard will be recognized everytime.

Good luck!

@Oost: Hello. Thanks, but issue is not corrected. Did the fix as directed and rebooted; mouse and keyboard were inoperative until I unplugged and re-connected the Logitech dongle. Caveat: only tried it once, however, the fault does not occur 100% of the time but about 50% to 75% of boot iterations (before your suggested fix). I will keep the fix in and see if frequency changes. Note here: I am knowledgeable enough to be dangerous, but am not a systems programmer or a Linux guru. I mess with operating systems (sort of). Thanks again.

Hello Manny,

I am not a linux guru as well. But i must tell you, i wrote down
something more in /etc/rc.local. This could be well related to the same
problem. Combination of these lines solved the problem of my wireless
mouse/keyboard and suspend problem. In my case Linux Mint Maya.
My laptop EEEPC1201n did not suspend in the right way as well, besides
mouse/keyboard problem. It resumed immediate after suspend.
This immediate resume was caused by the Unifying dongle of Logitech.
I solved it by following next link:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1642817 point #2

Now i think the dongle and the USB port combination is causing this trouble.
In my case adding following lines in my /etc/rc.local did solve both
problems.

echo USB0 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo USB2 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo US15 > /proc/acpi/wakeup
echo US12 > /proc/acpi/wakeup

modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
modprobe hid_logitech_dj

Good luck!

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.5kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag(Only that one tag, please leave the other tags). This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem with a wired USB Microsoft mouse. I have to log off and back on after a reboot to get the mouse to work reliably. Otherwise, the cursor will move, but I can't click on anything. This behavior will cut in and out every minute or 2 until I log off and back on. The USB wired keyboard continues to work normally throughout.

I'm using a Logitech LX5 cordless optical mouse and is recognised (or seems to be) but get hard time using it:
- single/double click give very erratic results
- select & drag is a nightmare: often lost the selected object on the way, or need several tries before being able to select it
- System Settings mouse options seems really useless

Pluging that mouse with its os2 adaptor or directly on usb makes no difference.

These issues are observed from 12.04 i386 with its stoc kernel to 12.10 & 13.04 with the latest kernel upstream. So i wonder if its only a kernel issue or a server config when compiling or the compiler itself.

That said, the problem is serious and very annoying when , for example, i want to select large block of cells into libreoffice calc, as most of the time the selection is lost before having done the job.

I have trouble with Logitech mice (m325 & m510) working on 1 of 3 machines running 12.04 32bit.
The machine with the trouble is the newest of the three and originally had a secure boot
version of Windoz 8. Under Windoz 8 the mice worked fine. I changed the BIOS to be non-UEFI OS,
dumped Windoz 8 and installed 12.04. The mice register and show when I do a lsusb, but they
fail to work. On the 2 other older machines the mice work great.

I tried running this fix in the terminal:
modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj
modprobe hid_logitech_dj

but NG.

I also tried placing it as typed above in /etc/rc.local, again NG.

However, I seem to have better luck when running it this way:
modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj && modprobe hid_logitech_dj

Maybe something with slamming the driver back in at machine speed!
Of course, if it worked once, why not hammer it, so I added the above
line to /etc/rc.local 5 times just to be sure :)

The most depressing part of this is that my M$ mouse works on the troublesome machine
flawlessly. And then to add insult to injury, the new Logitech mouse package come with
a linux penguin icon on the package!! One of the few off the shelf products that actually
says it has linux support. How sad.

Maybe there is some contention between newer BIOS with UEFI support and 12.04 causing the issue?

I run Ubuntu 3.2.0-36-generic #57 and I may confirm that the issue is still pending for me too.
If I don't unplug/replug the USB mouse, it's not recognized at boot and the pointer is frozen.

Once replugged, I can see the device correctly.

The workaround from the post #6 did not work for me.
hid_logitech_dj is not in the kernel loaded list after booting. Also, it doesn't appear there if I manually unplug mouse and plug it back for it to be recognised.

Most likely, it didn't help because I have a wired Logitech USB mouse (Logitech, Inc. MX320/MX400 Laser Mouse).

Is there a workaround for my case?

As it turns out, the work-a-round of:

I have since made a little shell script that runs as root and contains:
modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj && wait 3 && modprobe hid_logitech_dj

I need to be moving the mouse back and forth vigorously about 6" swings for the above to work. Sometimes I need to run it a few times before the mouse "catches". If that fails, unplugging and replugging the usb adapter while vigorously moving the mouse sometimes works.

sorry for the too long delay for answering.
in fact, my comment into #31 is not true all the time:
- after a cold boot & logging, that mouse works well for a while, but then the problems are back (as if the mouse buffer (if it exist) was full and not refreshed, ending with erratic work)
- loging out and back does not resolve that issue; only a cold boot restore a normal use for a while.

I use two Ubuntu machines at work, a desktop and a laptop. Normally I use Synergy to move between each desktop environment, the server is on my desktop and client on my laptop. I also have a KVM switch (just to transfer my keyboard and mouse, not video) which is normally switched to my desktop machine but can be switched to my laptop when I can't use Synergy.

I only get the problem with recognising my Logitech Performance MX on my laptop, my desktop works fine and they are both Ubuntu 12.04.

Right now I'm installing Ubuntu on a new HDD on my desktop and am using the KVM switch to flick between the desktop and my laptop. When I switch the KVM switch away from my laptop and back again the mouse will sometime work when coming back to my laptop and sometimes it won't work, it always works on the desktop.

When I unplug the USB cable from the KVM switch to the laptop and plug it back in a couple of time the mouse begins working again.

I hope that this information helps find the cause of this issue.

I just applied the updates, restarted the computer
uname - a shows 3.2.0-51-generic

then I shut it down, then pressed the power on , and the mouse was NOT recognised, had to manually unplug the usb mouse from the computer and plug it back in again for the mouse to work like before.
Then I tried again, shut it down and started the computer, same thing the mouse was NOT recognised.

Hopefully other people will have better luck,.

pt123, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
