[opensuse] Mouse middle button
Hello to everyone again. Dunno if I can write here with problems, but I didn't find any solutions anywhere. I have openSuSE 15.1 with xfce4 but I have no idea why the middle button doesn't work in Linux. I tested mouse with work laptop (Windows 10) and works. On my personal PC doesn't. I know that maybe silly but for me is very annoying. Maybe some met with that problem and can help? -- Cheers, MM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, I don't know what the problem can be, but let's start by gathering info. You do not say what brand and model the mouse is. You could run this: hwinfo --mouse and post the result here. You can also check if you have the file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". If you do, please upload to site <hhtp://susepaste.org> for a limited time, then paste the link to your reply here. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I'm happy to hear that because usualy I try to resolve problem with google, but this time I didn't find any resolve. :) tbh is just normal mouse but I installed openSuSE with minimal and changed /etc/zyp/zypp.conf(solver.onlyRequires = true) so probably (maybe) I'm missing something. -- Cheers, MM. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It reports two mice. One is "Microdia", apparently "Generic USB Mouse", and uses the "explorerps/2" protocol (exps2). No buttons seen. The other one is a "SINOWEALTH Game Mouse", sees 5 buttons and two wheels. Same protocol. Maybe it has assigned the middle button to some other button :-?

Well, avoiding recommended packages can cause problems that are not easy to detect. I would install instead with full XFCE pattern. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I tried all buttons but none of them works like middle button.

Maybe I try but personal I think there's too much packages going with recommends that's why I disabled that option, I'm using openSuSE since 12.1 and never had problem, maybe is just silly problem but like I said on begining is very annoying :P I did `sudo zypper in --force --recommends -t pattern xfce` and I see there is now any package ralated to mouse(?) -- Cheers, MM. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe try the app "xinput" to find out if the buttons are seen. First "xinput --list" to get a list, then perhaps "xinput --test 10" (change the number as appropriate to your mouse). Then, without moving the mouse at all, click the buttons. Stop with ctrl-c. I get: Telcontar:~ # xinput --test 10 button press 1 button release 1 button press 2 xinput --test 10button release 2 button press 3 button release 3 button press 1 button release 1 motion a[1]=649 motion a[0]=428 motion a[1]=649 motion a[1]=650 ^C Telcontar:~ # But I'm not sure what will happen in your case with the missing button. "man xinput" will tell you other options. In the end, you will probably have to write a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ as Kurpht says.

and afterwards remove unwanted/unnecessary packages. thereafter, utilize the cl and "zypper up -d" and peruse what will be installed. if packages are recommended, they will be listed as so. If you decide then that they are un[necessary,wanted], do "zypper up --no-r" then "zypper clean". you can maintain your install with --no-recommends but it is better to first know what those packages amount to. you can later install *specific* packages from the recommended list that you desire. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

no indication of windows manager. May be there is like in kde a "mouse settings"? try new batteries? try an other mouse to see if the other one works jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

try new batteries? I don't know if I can put batteries to USB mouse :P
try an other mouse to see if the other one works another one works
no indication of windows manager. May be there is like in kde a "mouse settings"? mouse settings in xfce are little bit limited (this[1] screenshot is from virtualbox, but looks the same on PC)

you can maintain your install with --no-recommends but it is better to first know what those packages amount to. you can later install *specific* packages from the recommended list that you desire.
I disagree with these two worthy gents. I agree it is possible that installing without recommends can occasionally cause problems but: (1) If it does break something, it is a bug in the package, which should have required the dependency rather than recommended it. If it is missing functionality then hopefully the program makes it clear why, else it is again a bug. (2) In any event it's a pretty rare case. I run my system with no-recommends and can't remember the last time it caused me a problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

There should be no problem only installing required packages. If this does not succeed, then there is a problem with the required package dependencies. That is the difference between the plain meanings of "Requires" and "Recommends". -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

no, requires is for the app to run. recommends may be for an option that is needed but not required for the app to operate. there exists muddy waters which require more input or information that the packagers cannot take the time to advise choices or to make the app ask for those "recommends" in order to perform the desired operation. what is *only* recommended for some may be required by others. the line is in sand. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Not strange. - temperature - humidity - dust Strange things can happen overnight. Disks re over lost files or perhaps develop unbootability. Many other anomalies. I've never lost a disk on systems that are never powered off but have on 'reboot each day'. I've never had a mouse with mechanical parts fail, but have had one of the 'track-pads' with no moving parts fail. Two actually. As far s I'm concerned 'dust' is the greatest enemy of computing and a high pressure air can the greatest diagnostic tool. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
