I seem to have this same problem on Ubuntu 20.10. (It was present in 20.04 as well). Recently I wanted to use this keyboard on Windows 10 and it was failing as well (!!). I found this article on it for Windows: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-hardware- winpc/microsoft-sculpt-ergonomic-mouse-does-not-click-on/a89bc2de-4ee0 -497a-b8fa-289338b9bbb1
Seems that this only happens with older version of the keyboard. I bought mine in 2016. The described workaround on windows (ctrl-alt-del and then cancel) has worked. Similar using Ubuntu if the problem occurs I can use Ctrl-Alt-F3 to change to a console and then Alt-F2 back to my session and it's working again. The mouse will then work for a while but the problem does reoccur intermittantly. I have not tested this with a later version of the hardware though but am wondering if the orignal reporter is using an older hardware version as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1860424 Title: Microsoft sculpt ergonomic mouse doesn't work on Ubuntu 18.04.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1860424/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
