[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
** Description changed: Since Dapper, Ubuntu hasn't worked with my KVM switch, or those of others judging by forum messages. The mouse is unusable, moving very erratically and selecting items without pressing any buttons. The keyboard adds characters to what is typed. If the Ubuntu machine is not selected at the time, Ubuntu boots up with low-definition video instead of that last used or set through preferences. I've tried more than one mouse/track ball. My KVM switch is a Starview SV411, one year old.

[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
I tried what you suggest some time ago and also the other mouse protocols. Unfortunately, none resolved the issue. I've not heard from the development team since trying the Alpha5 release.

[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
I had a similar problem when using an old KVM switch between mouse and computer. my solution was: sudo sh -c 'echo options psmouse proto=imps /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-fix' sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse if it doesn't work for you, just do: sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-fix sudo modprobe -r psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse and everything will be as it was. note that the name kvm-fix is just an arbitrary name, could be any non-used name actually. hope this helps. -- [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
OK, I managed to do this via SSH and attach the log which should show up the erratic movement of the mouse and a couple of button presses. Incidentally, if we can't fix this today I'll be away for 2 weeks so there'll be a pause. ** Attachment added: dmesg.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16772673/dmesg.log -- [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
ok. so that dmesg is with the mouse directly, no through kvm? in order to try to find the bug we need to get a dmesg using the kvm. so try this start your system using the kvm in order to get the crazy mouse via ssh connect to your server remotely follow the previous procedure try to move the mouse and keyboard in order to get some data from the behaviour, and send that back. at this point we really don't have enough information only some tips of the problem, you've helped a lot so far but we would need the dmesg with the debug enabled...

Can you please tell me where to find the kernel boot line. Also how to unload/reload the psmouse module. I'm not that familiar with Linux yet.

[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
no problem for testing at kernel boot - restart your server - when the grub loading 5..4..3.. secs appears press ESC - you'll get a list of installed kernels. press letter a - you'll get the kernel boot line.. press SPACE one time, add psmouse.proto=exps test after that several times with each options in order to check the issue and change the proto to the ones listed above. for testing loading and unloading module sudo rmmod psmouse sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps resync_time=10 again, test with the different protocols, if you've catched one that works without problem use it. If you want to leave this setting as default (i mean if this solves the problem) go like this: sudo gedit /etc/moprobe.d/psmouse at the end of the file add: options psmouse proto=exps resync_time=10 (use the protocol that works for you) for the debug commands sudo su - (beware this turns you into real root.. use with care) and execute the commands listed above hope this helps regards -- [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 176326] Re: [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch
None of the three psmouse.proto parameters made any difference on the boot line. I can't try loading and unloading while the mouse is connected through the KVM as the desktop is unusable. The attached file is the result of the echo commands, but please note that this was done with a mouse connected directly, not through the KVM, for the same reasons given above. ** Attachment added: dmesg.log http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16728507/dmesg.log -- [HARDY] Wont' work with KVM switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/176326 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
