Public bug reported:
When I logged in to my locked PC this morning the mouse began behaving
strangely. It would only move to one of several vertical points if I
made a violent motion. It seemed to move left to right as normal.
To try and solve this I unplugged the USB connection and put it back
into the same slot. This resulted in the optical USB mouse not working
at all. I tried to move the USB connection to another slot but it still
would not work. I fetched a known working USB mouse from another PC and
plugged it in. That still would not work.
Having got access to another PC I did an internet search for possible
solutions. I found a post on askubntun.com that suggested the problem
lay in the fwupd package. Rather than remove and kill that packaged as
suggested in the post; I thought I would try posting a bug report first
to see if any useful diagnostics come up that might resolve this.
I have a meeting starting soon. If there are any further actions I
could take to diagnose this while the USB mouse is still not working,
please let me know as soon as possible. When I return from the meeting
I will try the steps suggested on askubuntu.com question 768455 (which
also referes out to bugzilla redhat bug 1322259.
As if by magic I just knocked the mouse and it seems to be working again. It
was not working when I started the diagnostic and began typing this all out...
