823798 2009-10-24 20:50:00 Well i know there's a couple Linux guys around here so maybe someone can help :)

I've got Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 installed on my PC running the default GNOME interface but i'm having a slight problem. At random times, my mouse will just stop responding but all my other peripherals work fine. I can still use my keyboard to navigate around. If anyone knows what's wrong, i'd appreciate it.

823801 2009-10-24 22:26:00 Been doing a bit of google searching, and seems lots of people have the same problem if using a USB mouse.

If you have USB try changing it to PS2, even with an adaptor, I have 9.04 on an old PC, and it uses PS2 - never had a problem.

Ubuntu has to be one of the buggiest distro's around. Erayd can probably confirm that..
