Sorry for not having done anything about this bug for a long time! The problem was solved for me with the procedure described in my original post (by removing mouseemu), but so far the situation in PPC Ubuntu has not changed, if I recall correctly (my new install on PPC with Intrepid in December 2008). I'm not keen on reinstalling it just to make sure 100% that mouseemu is installed by default. Isn't there an easier way to find this out? What can be done about the problem, anyway? I'd suggest not installing mouseemu, or only installing it if there is no mouse with two or more buttons present... Bryce wrote this needed to be assigned to ppc installer, but I can't find that package. So I now try "debian-installer".
** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: None => debian-installer ** Description changed: + Update: This only affects the PPC port of Ubuntu. + 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 ** Tags added: installer ppc -- 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
