[Bug 1581088] Re: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04
only other thing to try is check that "Middle-click Paste" is set to ON in gnome-tweak-tool. Try running xev and clicking the buttons with the mouse in the window. I see the button event when Middle-click Past is ON but not when it's OFF. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581088 Title: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1581088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

tompotts- looking at your output, it looks like wheel emulation is still set to false: Evdev Wheel Emulation (286): 0 I don't know what your trying to get it to do, but for me, my trackball works the way I want it to when I turn on the wheel emulation (set it to 1). Based on the output you posted, you could try: xinput --set-prop 11 286 1 which would turn on the wheel emulation -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581088 Title: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1581088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The middle button paste may be set elsewhere. I'm using Ubuntu Gnome and there is an option for it in the gnome tweak tool. I think the default on install was off. It's "Middle-click Paste" and should be set to "ON" There's probably lots of ways to set it, I do it through gnome tweak tool, which is a gui. I can't say for certain if this is available in lubuntu or xfce. On gnome, I search for "Tweak Tool" in applications or from a terminal window I can enter "gnome-tweak-tool" to launch it. The setting for "Middle-click Paste" is under "Keyboard and Mouse" then the subheading "Mouse" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1581088 Title: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1581088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1581088] Re: Middle mouse (wheel-click) button stopped working after upgrade to 16.04
I'm not sure this is a kernel issue. It appears to be something related to the evdev driver or how the files in xorg.conf.d are interpreted when setting up the evdev driver. the "Evdev Wheel Emulation" is "false" even though my config file xorg.conf.d is trying to set it to "true" - when I manually set it to "true" scrolling works fine. I have a precise install (3.13.0-112-generic kernel) where the scrolling works. When I look at the output of "xinput --list-props XX" for my trackball, I see that "Evdev Wheel Emulation" is "true". On a Xenial install (4.8.0-41-generic kernel), using the same file in xorg.conf.d for my trackball, it shows Evdev Wheel Emulation as false. Looking in the syslog, I see a line for: "/usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[2042]: (**) Option "EmulateWheel" "true"" but the option isn't being set to true. I believe this is where the problem lies. Here is a work around: find the id of the device that won't scroll using "xinput --list", mine is 11 then check whether wheel emulation is true or false usng "xinput --list- props 11" Here is what I see for list-props when I first boot and log in: Evdev Wheel Emulation (297):0 the 0 is false. Change this with the following: xinput --set-property 11 297 1 where 11 - id of the device 297 - property number (shown in parenthesis from above) 1 is the boolean for true After doing this, the output from "xinput --list-props 11" shows: Evdev Wheel Emulation (297):1 And now the scroll works as it did before I experienced this problem. Can others check what they find using "xinput --list-props xx" to see if this is repeatable?
