Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.7 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

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.

[dino99 (9d9)]

this system is using the latest available kernel

[dino99 (9d9)]

Feedback with kernel 3.8.0.17

/dev/input : all the mouse0/mice/event(x) are 0 bytes "unknown"
/dev/input/by-id : usb-Logitech_USB-RECEIVER-mouse 0 bytes "Link to unknown"
/dev/input/by-id : usb-Logitech-USB-RECEIVER-event-mouse 0 bytes "Link to unknown"

(its the same "Link to unknown" with 0 bytes into /dev/input/by-path)

with the same mouse, now the identification is:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices:

Thats always the same issues: grab & drag is quite impossible, selecting a block of cells or a group of words is also impossible.

i've installed the latest 3.9 rc6 kernel, and get the same issue

[dino99 (9d9)]

Now using the 3.8.0.19 kernel + nvidia-313-updates

but looking at the latest xorg.0.log, xserver-xorg-input-evdev (2.7.3-0ubuntu2b2) is very confused and set bad config for that 2buttons+1wheel mouse (like the 20 buttons found !!!!).
So i wonder if xserver-xorg-input-evdev might be blamed instead of the kernel itself.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Also see : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1006145

[dino99 (9d9)]

Following the report comments from #9 above, i've installed ltunify.
But ltunify list cant find a receiver; which should mean that the builtin hid-logitech-dj kernel module or mousedev is confusing the system.

[dino99 (9d9)]

hi Christopher,

im copying back here what you have not seen into the report details:

dmi.bios.date: 07/22/2010
dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
dmi.bios.version: 3002

the bios 3002 is the latest version for that mobo, and have been flashed 3 years back to support the q9550 proc. That said, the main issues have started with the kernel serie 3 when gnome3 have been also used (gnome2 was easier to set the hardware config; and xorg.conf was also able to deal with special settings for mouse for example, which now can conflict with the kernel hardware monitoring):

- the System Settings Mouse and/or dconf cant handle the mouse sensitivity: the single mouse click should work but doesn't, a second click is mostly needed each time
- selecting a words block is often a nightmare: sometimes it works, sometimes not after a while: like if a buffer was not refreshed or locked. This is irritating when you want to select then copy/paste a sentence ..... with writer or calc; or when you want to grab & drop cards when playing with aisleriot for example.

I have tested with a stock system (either precise/raring or now saucy i386) and/or with the gnome3-team ppa enabled: i cant see any difference. Also checked the different logs, but nothing usefull about that issue.
I know that the Logitech hardware is not the best supported, and affect a bunch of users seen across the forums; but there was no trouble before when using the 2.6 kernel & gnome2.
Some packages related to Logitech have also been tested but with no luck : locomo, libgii* ; maybe libgii-cibles should be added to the ubuntu archives.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Also note that the latest saucy kernel 3.11.0.1 have the same issue.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dino99, 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-rc4

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

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, please comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it and add the following tags:
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream
kernel-unable-to-test-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

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.

[dino99 (9d9)]

Have tested both 3.11-rc4 & rc5 and have got the same issues like with the ubuntu kernels.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dino99, did this problem not occur in a release prior to Raring?

[dino99 (9d9)]

As reported on top, lp:1006145 #15 + give more details and trace back the history of that problem. Please refer to it.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dino99, please don't make people dumpster dive through another report, just answer the question as asked for your hardware and personal experiences. Hence, did you personally experience this with your hardware on releases prior to Raring?

[dino99 (9d9)]

These issues are observed from 12.04 i386 with its stock kernel to 13.10 with the latest kernel upstream also.

[dino99 (9d9)]

That mouse was working fine prior to Precise; but i cant say if it was well identified (lx5 cordless optical) or not. What have changed then ? (hal dropped, maybe some way to detect hardware ids, some kernel support dropped ?) or actual kernels using some external outputs like dmidecode/lsusb ?

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dino99, which release specifically prior to Precise did it work in?

[dino99 (9d9)]

there was no such issue with the 3.2 kernel

[penalvch (penalvch)]

dino99, please do not remove, nor change kernel tags when simply testing a new Ubuntu release. The default Ubuntu kernel is not an upstream kernel.

Despite this, this next step is to test the latest mainline kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17-rc6-utopic/ , and advise if this is reproducible.
