[ubuntu-uk] embarrassing mouse issue
Hi, After years of trying to persuade my step dad to use ubuntu instead of windows he has finally agreed to let me install it alongside win7! But his mouse is not recognised on the live cd. the machine is a sony viao VGC-LV1S pc (all in the screen) with an internal sensor for a wireless keyboard and mouse (not USB) and the keyboard works fine but not the mouse. from the live cd I have tried lsusb to see if the mouse appears but it does not (nor does the keyboard which is what makes me think it isn't USB) After that I am out of ideas any suggestions? Regards Pete -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

If so you will also have to set them up (pair them) as devices within Ubuntu.

Have you tried to re-pair the keyboard and mouse by using the CONNECT button on the back of the machine and on each device? I take it that the mouse is turned on and the batteries aren't dead?

Jonathon Hi, Yes the batteries are ok mouse is switched on (even switched off and on again!) on win7 the keyboard and mouse work fine and on Ubuntu the keyboard works but not the mouse? I have never come across this before and having been singing Ubuntu's praises for about three years and how everything just works this is a bit embarrassing! Not sure if the mouse is bluetooth or Infra-red or what! but if the keyboard works why doesn't the mouse?
