libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

This update loses the mouse.  I wish they would fix it.  I have to reinstall 1.26 to have pointer facility in X.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

It doesn't here, so your exact model of mouse is very relevant. Please adjust your title to reflect which mouse this is.

What mouse? What events (if any) do you see in

libinput debug-events
libinput list-devices
#Assuming USB
lsusb

Also this should be reported to upstream with the relevant model name etc.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

Thx for reply!  Logitech USB mouse (M90/M100), but pointer also fails when I update Lenovo laptop.  How to attach file?  Common factor broken ethernet ports, using USB3 adapters in both cases.  Maybe look at /etc/libinput what 1.26.2 puts back again?.  I guess sometthing needs manual reconfiguration after update.

How to attach file?

First link below.

sudo libinput debug-events |& tee /tmp/libinput.debug # test the mouse, press ctrl+c
(sudo libinput list-devices; lsusb; cat /tmp/libinput.debug) | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st # and post the link

Common factor broken ethernet ports, using USB3 adapters in both cases.

And does the problem exist w/o the ethernet dongle being attached?
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

must be a way to upload a file using these tags...

[ href=//root/forumdata]"Forum Data"[]

cat forumdata

There's nothing special about the optical mouse or the touchpad.  They're both quite old.  Maybe I have configuration files in non-standard locations, eg /usr/share/X11 points to /usr/X11. When I update libinput to 1.27.0 X has no pointer.  When I downgrade to libinput 1.26.2 X has a pointer.  Same on desktop and laptop.

I tried to upload information requested by V1del and Seth  but  seems too hard to run any commands in this post and copy output is troublesome.  Thx for help.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

You can't upload files here directly, follow seth's suggestion you'll upload everything of relevance to 0x0.st which is a pretty good and barebones pastebin service. Should you not be able to use 0x0.st because your IP is banned for whatever reason, find a different avenue (or just CP all of the text into the thread and wrap it in [code][/code] tags.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

I can't work out how to copy output into post - not by hand, obviously.  Some output like debug-events is long and when I try to grab it from kitty with right-click to copy and paste, it's too hard.  So I need to do it with nano or something.  I'll worry if it still doesn't work after the next libinput update.  Some others are sure to have the same problem.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

The commands in #5 will upload the output into 0x0.st and get you a short url in return…

Thx for help, folks - all fixed after updating libwacom.  Have to confess I try to minimise updates sometimes. Thx V1del, seth.  How to close topic?

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

You cannot and should absolutely not ever do that, you break your system that way, expectedly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System … nsupported

You can mark as [SOLVED] by editing the title in your first post.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

hope I closed it ok.  Pacman usually pulls in dependencies.  AUR is vast and my needs are modest.

Re: libinput-1.27.0-1 - [SOLVED]

The AUR has nothing to do with pacman and as long as you don't replace system libs you can "somewhat" safely not update AUR packages occasionally, but there's no such leeway for repo packages, you must always update the entire system.
