[SOLVED] Wireless mouse stop working.

As subject says, my wireless mouse (TECKNET M011) stopped working today after upgrading!
Here my pacman log of today!

The most important upgrade I think is:
[2017-03-29 10:08] [ALPM] upgraded linux (4.10.4-1 -> 4.10.6-1)

dmesg and journalctl seems all ok!

What should I control now?

Thank you!

Re: [SOLVED] Wireless mouse stop working.

Did you reboot into the new kernel?  If not, new modules will not be able to be loaded.  This is a common problem, though I'm not sure if it'd really be parsimonious here as you were likely using your mouse before the upgrade, so the module for the old kernel should already be in memory.  A reboot is still worth trying though if you haven't yet.

The next step after that would be to unplug/replug the wireless reciever and check `dmesg | tail` and post the output here.

If there's nothing there, then perhaps try downgrading the kernel to ensure that's actually the problem (and not for example batteries dying just coincidentally at the same time as an upgrade).
