Here some additions from dumb checking a few test cases here ;-) Test | A.MX | M515 | -------------------------------------------------------|--------|--------| Just reboot running system * | ok | no | reboot, moving mouse * | ok | ok | power down, mouse OFF, boot up, mouse ON | ok | ok | switch mouse OFF, then ON when not working | no | no | remove receiver, then reattach when mouse not working | no | no | boot up while mouse activity LED is ON * | ok | -- | boot up when mouse activity LED is OFF * | no | -- |
I have also tested if it matters wether the mouse is ON or OFF BEFORE shutdown/reboot: No, it doesn't seem to be the case. * The M515 has touch sensors that send the mouse to powersave almost immediately after the hand is removed from the mouse's surface (especially the sides). The Anywhere MX in contrast seems to have the classical timeout mechanism, going into powersave after a minute or so after it has last been moved. So that seems to be the reason why it passes the first test (simple restart), whereas the M515 doesn't. It also feeds the assumption that the mice's powersave mode is key to the problem. However, remember that the problem ocurred in 12.04 Precise first, the mice are working without these problems in earlier releases. So it's not a mouse problem after all. = Conclusion = I think it is fair to conclude that the mouse is not recognized at boot when in idle/inactive/powersave mode. If you agree, I suggest to change the Bug's summary accordingly, to something like "Logitech Unity Mice are not recognized on boot when in powersave state" and link more specifically to the 12.04 Precise release (if possible), or an adequate package. = Erratum = Seems I have let myself to be confused in the first place: The new Logitech receiver is known as "Unifying Receiver", so no danger of confusion except for those like me who are not good at reading and/or remembering :-) -- 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/ubuntu/+bug/958174/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
