Hello, This happens to me too. Brand new machine, fresh install. Happens with both Unity and KDE.
$ uname -a Linux dev294-l 3.8.0-25-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 20:47:07 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux jlcruz@dev294-l ~ $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp.

As commented above, I have also tried restarting lightdm, and even rmmod and modprobe psmouse, but it doesn't help. Will be happy to provide feedback next time it happens if I'm given any diagnostic commands that could help. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1167097 Title: The mouse stops working randomly and have to reset To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3/+bug/1167097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
