Mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work any more after an update.

My mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work any more after an update. I can click with the scrolling wheel, but it doesn't react on scrolling. Here is some info:

I didn't find anything abnormal from the above output. What else should I do to solve this problem?

Does the wheel generate events in "sudo libinput debug-events" ?

Thanks, but the wheel does not even generate events in "sudo libinput debug-events", which is different from the situations mentioned in your referred topics.

All other mouse actions generate events, including left clicks, right clicks, wheel clicks.

Did you try the behavior w/ the LTS kernel?

searene · 2020-06-27 05:00:24

Thanks, I finally solved the problem by downgrading the kernel to the version 4.19.

finoderi · 2020-06-27 05:06:58

But lts kernel version is 5.4.49.

paulkerry · 2020-06-27 13:00:18

@finoderi - you are correct about Arch having that version of linux-lts, but 4.19 is still longterm supported on https://www.kernel.org/ so maybe @searene is using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-lts419 for instance.
Hopefully having this working again will trigger @searene to file a bug report/kernel bisect :-)
