I am using Xubuntu 12.04, 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu. I have a Logitech M570 wireless trackball, and I am experiencing the same problem.
I came across this on a forum somewhere, and it has been working pretty consistently: Add following lines to /etc/rc.local modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj modprobe hid_logitech_dj I did this. I have tried booting to the desktop with the trackball switch turned on, and turned off. With the switch turned on, it works most of the time. I have actually had better luck waiting until the desktop was fully loaded, and then turning the trackball switch on. YMMV, but I hope this helps somebody as this problem has been driving me bonkers as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958174 Title: Wireless Mouse not registered on Startup or Reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/958174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
