Middle mouse click no longer works after recent update

I noticed after updating about 3 days ago that clicking the scroll wheel no longer acts as middle click on my MX Revolution mouse from logitech anymore. Pressing on the scroll wheel use to act as middle mouse click, now it just switches between scroll modes. I would like to have the former functionality returned as I really like to be able to open links in new tabs and paste with just one click.
Does anyone know how I could get this functionality working again on this mouse? All other button functions work as they did prior to the update that changed my scroll wheel click behavior.
Thanks for any help with this matter and please let me know if any other information is needed to diagnosis this problem.

Does this mouse work with other OS/PC ?
After a simple reboot or pacman -Syu, do you backup to roll back ? Can you mention which packages/files were updated?
Yes the mouse works in windows, but logitech provides a configuration utility for it and so I use that set it up. In linux there is no such utility to configure the mouse. There use to be btnx and that worked great but it's no longer in the repos or AUR so I don't use that anymore. I haven't done pacman -Sc or pacman -Scc in a while so I should still have the packages to roll back, but I'm not sure what package update caused this. Here is a list of the of packages that were updated just before this started happening, from pacman.log...

Mouse gesturing no longer works after recent update ?

Middle-mouse paste function stopped working after last update

I think FireFox was updated last night. Ever since then my middle mouse paste function doesn't work any more.
I haven't installed any addons or changed settings either.
I'm talking about: about:config > middlemouse.paste = true
I've tried toggling it etc. but nothing I can do changes it. Any ideas?

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

MSI Live Update will no longer work after recent update

Recently, MSI Live Update upgraded itself and now errors when a scan is attempted. I can start the application, and the scan appears to occur but does not complete. The error is pretty generic:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI\Live Update 6\Live Update.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.
First thing I did was uninstall the tool, delete the directory, reboot and download and install Live Update 6.x from the MSI site. No change. I figured there was possibly a problem with (one of the) C++ Runtime libraries and checked the system requirements on the MSI website, but all it says its needs is the .NET runtime library. I uninstalled it, rebooted, and reinstalled it but still received the same error. Going with the error, I removed all of the C++ libraries (8, 10, and 12 I think), rebooted, and reinstalled them the checked MS for updates. Sadly, this also didn't resolve it.
Error in the application log didn't help:
Faulting application name: Live Update.exe, version: 6.0.12.0, time stamp: 0x54768b62

Searching the forum didn't yield much. Suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestions - still in the same boat.
@jb0nez
what OS you are running? Windows 8.1 x64
what MSI hardware you have?
Board: Z87-G43 GAMING
Bios: American Megatrends v1.9 (7/21/2014)
Intel Core i5-4670 @ 3.40GHz (not overclocked)
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro x64
@jb0nez
I fixed it though--went to Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, found Microsoft .net 4.5.1, hit Change/Uninstall, then clicked Repair. Rebooted after and it was fine.
Windows 8.x has .NET 4.x preinstalled as a part of the OS.
I used DISM.exe which identified a component store corruption (and repaired it). Live Update still errors.
Attempts to install from a .NET runtime returns an error of "A higher version is already installed".
Version of .NET installed: 4.5.51641
I did disable, reboot, and re-enable .NET as a feature but doing so does not revert it back to stock .NET.
I also checked Windows Update after re-enabling it and there were no updates - so its not flushing the binaries if its disabled.
At least I have a direction to start troubleshooting (.NET) - thanks for the tip!
@jb0nez
are you also use the same version? Live Update 6.0.012
@TZBC
Restore points are out - I let this slide too long. If I go that route, I'll be fixing one app to break 10 others.
If I'm going to reinstall the OS, I'll wait until Windows 10 (I'll do a complete wipe at that time). Live Update is a 'nice to have', but its not worth my time to wipe the OS and rebuild the system.

Secondary click no longer works after the update, how do i fix it?

macbook pro with apples usb mouse. track pad still works fine.

hmmm...so it might be the mouse. If you live near an Apple Store I would bring in the MacBook Pro and see if seconday click works with one of their store mice to help determine if it is the mouse or the software.

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

HELP - mouse click no longer working - Tiger bug?

Hi Guys,
I had a weird issue with Tiger (10.4.10) on my PowerBook G4 this evening. I was dragging a file to the trash, and "dropped" it onto the dock by mistake, just missing the trash. I was slightly to the left of the trashcan. I expected the icon to jump back to the desktop, as the place I had dropped it was invalid, but to my surprise, as I moved the pointer across the screen with the mouse button unclicked, a ghost version of the icon was still attached to the mouse pointer.
I was unable to click on anything, as the OS still believed for some reason that I was dragging this icon around. I used the keyboard to reboot the laptop, and when it came back up, the mouse click was not working - I can drag around, but can't click on anything. This is with the on board trackpad. I also have a bluetooth apple mouse, which exhibits exactly the same behaviour.
I've rebooted several times (and shutdown and removed the battery), zapped the PRAM. Nothing has helped. I've tried logging in as a different user, but the click still doesn't work with the on-board or external mouse. It's like something within the OS has been corrupted, but I don't know what I can do. I have loads of data on the laptop, so I am not rebuilding. There is something on the help pages about resetting my PowerBook PMU, but I don't think this should be required.
This is a major, urgent issue for me, as I can't use the laptop until I figure out how to resolve this.
Anyone - please help
Thanks,
Robin

Thanks for the feedback. Since resetting the PMU fixed the problem, it's not a bug but some conflict in the original setup.
If you want to report this to Apple, either send Feedback or send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. Join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Headphones no longer work after ios8 update to Iphone 5

My plug in head phones no longer work after updating to IOS8. I thought it was the head phones and bought new ones - they don't work either. I updated my iPad and both head phones work. Phone is IPhone 5 - not due for an upgrade until December. Any suggestions?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Scrolling on Magic mouse no longer work after OSX update

I have just performed an OSX update and after restarting I immediately noticed that the scrolling function and other gestures no longer work on the magic mouse. I have also noticed that no gestures work on the Mac Book Pro track pad. The only function that works on the mouse is moving the mouse pointer and the buttons. Same goes for the track pad. Some great update that was. Has anyone else discovered this and how do I repair this loss of function? When I first initiated the update, I saw that there was a download required which mention some improvements for the mouse/keyboard but mainly updates required to support the new magic track pad. Is it possible to revert this individual update and if so how? Thanks.

You were almost correct, but not quite. You can see updates in /Library/Updates. I'm not sure what receipts is, but it didn't contain the track pad/mouse update package I was expecting to see. However, I did eventually find it in Updates after a trip to my local Apple store. What happened was that the original update process completed about 95% but for some reason crashed. When I restarted, it appeared that there was nothing wrong, until that is I tried to use the mouse and track pad. I presume that the update process uninstalled the previous package but didn't actually install the new update. I downloaded the the latest update from Apple, but it appeared to be older than what I downloaded from the Update process, so it wouldn't install. I would suggest that here lies a bug. The package install process did detect the new trackpad / mouse package but it didn't detect that it wasn't installed and should have prompted me to install it.

Printing No Longer Working After Recent Upgrade

My printing suddenly stopped working after the latest upgrade (which upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15.2 to 2.6.15.4).
I discovered that arch is no longer auto-loading the parport_pc module. This is strange. If I run "hwdetect --show-modules", parport_pc is shown.
I do have MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes" in my rc.conf file.
The quick fix is to add "parport_pc" to the list of MODULES in rc.conf.
Are others having this problem?
Rob

I just read your post. I am sorry I could not join irc. I was actually at work. It is very hard for me to use irc at work. Firewalls make life difficult!
In any event, I think I solved the problem.
Please see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=18747
Here is the complete post:
In my /etc/modprobe.conf file, there was the folloiwng line:
# Load lp support with parport_pc
install parport_pc modprobe -i parport_pc ; modprobe lp ; true
I believe that this line was in the original /etc/modprobe.conf file that came with arch 0.7. I don't remember ever adding it.
I commented out this line and I removed "parport_pc" from the list of MODULES to be loaded in /etc/rc.conf.
I rebooted and it worked. The modules lp, parport and parport_pc were all autoloaded at boot-up.
I should also note that right after the arch upgrade, I was experiencing CUPS daemon failure once and awhile at boot up. Somtimes cupsd loaded and sometimes it failed at boot up. Now it seems that cupsd loads reliably at every bootup. Problem solved!
The following are the remaining lines in my /etc/modprobe.conf:
# Load ppp-generic with modem drivers
install Intel536 modprobe -i Intel536 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install Intel537 modprobe -i Intel537 ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltmodem modprobe -i ltmodem ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install ltserial modprobe -i ltserial ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slamr modprobe -i slamr ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
install slusb modprobe -i slusb ; modprobe ppp-generic ; true
# OSS Compatibility
#install snd-pcm modprobe -i snd-pcm ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; true
#install snd-seq modprobe -i snd-seq ; modprobe snd-seq-oss ; true
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---

options isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
The modem driver lines came with the original /etc/modprobe.conf file in arch 0.7.
Should I also comment them all out?
Perhaps I should only have the lines for my old ISA sound card in the /etc/modprobe.conf file. Please let me know.
Has there been a change in the kernel or udev which makes it neccesary to make all these changes in the /etc/modprobe.conf file?
