Public bug reported: When I install Ubuntu 8.04 with the graphical installer (live CD) all mouse buttons are working, as I tested by calling xev. They even out-of- the-box function as "forward" and "back" in Firefox. After the system boots from hard disk the mouse's side buttons (previously identified by xev as buttons 8 and 9, although it is a 5 button mouse with an additional wheel) no longer yield any reaction. The following call "fixes" this, though:
# sudo /etc/init.d/mouseemu stop For a permanent "fix" (perfect for me, since I don't need mouseemu) call # sudo apt-get remove mouseemu ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Mouseemu renders mouse's side buttons unusable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230194 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
