[Solved] Mouse not moving! but clicking works [Solved: downgraded X]

I upgraded today after a relatively long time without touching the system. So quiet a lot of things went new, like Xorg and the kernel.
The mouse (touchpad) stopped moving, however, I can right/left click and it responds. I use the evdev driver and no xorg.conf and had no problem with that before. I tried xf86-...-mouse and it does not help. xorg.0.log does not report any relevant error (after grep EE xorg.0.log and grep WW xorg.0.log). No apparent problem either with hald, dbus, etc. Tapping does not work either.
It was working before I reboot, so I can exclude a hardware problem, too.
Follows grep -i mouse Xorg.0.log

Just had this problem myself. Had two problems so I'll describe them both here.
After doing pacman -Syu to update my system X would not start, I was just left with a blank screen after boot - I use nvidia drivers so the blank screen was at the point where I would normally see the nvidia logo.
Downgrading the nvidia driver from version 185.18.31-1 to 185.18.14-1 ( pacman -U #name of older package#) solved the blank screen problem. However when I logged in I could use the mouse buttons but not move the cursor. To fix this I downgraded first the xorg-server from 1.6.3-2 to 1.6.2-1 and xf86-input-evdev from 2.2.3-1 to 2.2.2-1. Everthing is back to normal now.
If anyone needs more details let me know. Hope this helps.

Hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

hi i;m using macbook pro . magic mouse pointer not moving, but do all the rest of things

thank you, i have tried you suggestion but it is still just prompting me to restart rather than allowing me to install the os from the os boot disk. the problem began when the macbook was just showing me a folder icon with a question mark on it rather than starting normally. reading through forums lead me to replace the hard drive and hard drive data cable to try and resolve the issue. however, even after having done this the folder with the question mark is still appearing. i cannot get the os istall disk to boot properly. it recognises that the disk is in the drive but continually prompts me to restart and wont allow me to boot from the disk. sorry if my previouse discription wasnt accurate. does this soun familliar and can you help with this more detailed discription of the problem? thank you.

I need to setup 7800 Series IP Phones in the CUCM 8.6.2 which by default are not support but will work after install the software. Anyone have document from Cisco as I remember I seen once before.

Hi Ali,
I'll just add this reference to the good tips from my friend Manish (+5)
Support for the 7800 series in CUCM 8.6.2 was first added with this
Device Pack;
Cisco Unified Communications Manager
Device Package 8.6(2)(24104-1)Release Notes
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Device Package Release 8.6(2)
adds support for the Cisco IP Phones
7821, 7841, and 7861 running SIP firmware release 10.1(1).
The steps are in this doc
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074299/107528/cmterm-devicepack-8.6.2.24104-1_Readme.pdf
You might as well install the latest 8.6.2 Device pack
cmterm-devicepack8.6.2.24112-1.cop.sgn
Cheers!

Try reset all settings.

I have an issue where coloured dots (small squares) appear on my screen and it gets to the point where the entire screen freezes although the mouse still moves but nothing works and I need to turn the computer off at the switch. Any ideas?

Reset the SMC and PRAM, if the issue continues then you likely have a failing GPU (hardware) that requires repair. To be sure take it in and have it professionally assessed.

Mouse cursor is stuck top left corner of screen. It will not move. Tried both my Bluetooth mouse, and a USB mouse. Not moving but will click

Tried un pairing the Bluetooth mouse and reconnecting it. No change. Tried both those resets people suggested to others in the forums, that didn't help either. Borrowed my friends USB mouse for his Mac, the same thing. Cursor will not move, but the click works.(this is what is happening for both)
If you are kind enough to offer help, please be aware of the following: this is my first Mac. I really know nothing about them.

Yes, once when I first noticed it, and each time I tried both the pram reset, and when I did the other reset (holding down p&r and the other two buttons before the grey screen, and waited for it to reboot from there). Can't remember what that reset was called

Mouse not moving while key is pressed

I am using a Lenovo G500 (product 20236), I couldnt find the correct forum. Move to wherever necessary.
I have a problem where the mouse does not move or click while I am holding down a key. I want to do this without disabling my mouse driver, even though I really dont give a zero about its features other than scrolling. This "feature" is so frustrating, and can easily be replicated: Press a key other than alt, ctrl, or shift, and try to move the mouse. I want to be able to move the mouse while holding a key without removing the driver, but I dont want to remove the driver.
Moderator note: moved to appropriate forum. Edited subject.

There is no ultranav anywhere, and one finger scrolling is not in the Elan settings. There used to be one finger scrolling here.

Package not moved but assigned objects moved to quality.

In our project, Transport request containing the Package creation is not moved to Quality system, but Classes/Webdynpro components/programs assigned to that Package is moved to quality through different Transport request without any errors.
Strange point is that all is working fine in quality. I just want to confirm is this normal behaviour or there will be some issues in production.
Regards,
Mandeep

You should move the package as well for consistency reasons. The programs can be executed without it, but there is probably errors or warnings in extended program checks, import logs, etc.

You can enable mouse movement during full screen playback by heading to Preferences/Slideshow/"show pointer when mouse moves"; or press the "c" key to show/hide the cursor

Mouse cursor moving but not working

My MacBook trackpad moves the cursor, but nothing happens when I click the mouse - I can't activate anything (same happens with an external mouse via USB). Any ideas?

I'm using firefox 4 en Gmail. When I choose my contacts there is no button for new contacts. In IE9 it is there. I've done everything what is on the net to solve this problem. But nothing works.

I can't work in Gmail since I use firefox 4. The button "New Contacts" doesn't appear. I've tried everything to solve this problem: thrown away history, cookies and ad-ons. In firefox save modus it works. In IE9 it works. Only not in firefox4.
In the former editions of firefox there were no problems.

Extend wireless is simply no longer required as an option. Apple have assumed it will be extended and it is on by default.
With your main base setup.. I gather you are using the A1408??
Simply factory reset the TC..
Then when you do the setup.. extend wireless is the option that will automatically be offered to you.
I am just going to do it.. Other way around.. but it is the same thing.
So here we go..
I have factory reset the airport extreme.. and it takes a couple of min for it to come up.
You can also see it in wifi.
You can click on it in either place and get into the auto setup function.
I have no network connection at all on the extreme.. it is simply powered on and close to the computer.
It will automatically offer a name.. for reasons I won't go into here but see C9 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Give the Extending router a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. you can do it immediately here.
Go next..
Magically it is done..
Now fix up the errors..
Default password.. in my home this is not an issue.. and I don't want to change it ..
So I ignore it.
Second error is firmware is old.
But I much prefer 7.6.1 So I have no intention of giving that up..

[SOLVED]can not get steam to work.

Hi!
It seems like my steam install from the official repo will not start at all.
plus, it nearly says nothing at all
[the-doctor@Tardis steam-runtime]$ steam

it just hangs here, it does nothing that I can see
I have searched all over the google, for hours. Actually, more like half a day thanks to this problem.
If you need additional info, please, let me know
(I do not know what else you would need to help me with this problem, due to this error message being so strange and I have never seen it before)
Thank you for taking your time it takes to read this and maybe think about it a little, if you need anything more, I will be more then happy to provide it!

this happened to me once because I installed the proprietary drivers without restarting before trying to run steam.
also check the ownership of your ~/.steam folder and your ~/.local/share/Steam folders
And make sure 32 bit drivers

hmm, restarting eh?
I have not done that after I installed lib32 nvidia drivers ^^"
well, I will try to restart as well, it might be something like that prolly, only because my comp wanna mess with me as usual x'D
hmm, how do I check the ownership in a terminal? :3
Edit:
I checked in Dolphin, but I am still curious how to do it in a terminal
I do have ownership of both of them

Deskjet 3054 not printing but scanner works

Hello!
I have a Deskjet 3054 per label on the printer, however, but the IP address says it's Deskjet 3050 All-in-One J610a. My computer is Mac 10.9.5. I've read through other posts and have updated all my software via Apple's Software Update.
The symptoms are as below:
- The scanner works (I can scan a page and view it on my computer)
- Printer report works (that's where I got the IP address)
- On Mac's Printer & Scanners, the printer is recognized and connected
- However, when I print a document, the queue shows up, shows the job is being processed. However, the printer does not move at all. I cannot hear the cartridge move. Then the queue shows that the job is done and the queue is empty.
Please help!
Thanks!

Safari not connecting but Firefox working

Have been having problems connecting to my home wireless system today. Finally resolved that issue but now only the Firefox browser is working not safari. I'm sure I've reset something wrong but what any ideas?

Use Spotlight to search for a file called login.keychain. Users/YourUserName/Library(which is a hidden folder and won't show in Finder)/Keychains. Click Go in the menu bar then Go to Folder and type in /Users/YourUserName/Library and hit the enter key. Look down the list of folder and find Keychains. The "login.keychain" file should be inside.

AppLocker service issue: AppIDSvc not running, but enforcement working.

I have a strange problem with AppLocker. I configured the service (AppIDSvc) and some policies using group policy and deployed it to some computers in my domain. I logged onto one of the systems and verified that AppIDSvc was running, and that
enforcement and logging were working correctly.
Later, I decided to expand that policy to more computers. I reorganized the policies somewhat, but the RSOP is the same. I logged onto one of the new machines that I applied the policy to, and noticed that the service was not running and nothing
audited in the AppLocker logs. When I try to start the service, I get "System error 31 has occurred. A device attached to the system is not functioning."
This is strange, but what is more strange is that on the first set of systems I deployed AppLocker to, I am seeing the same behavior from the service: not starting, and attempts to start result in the same error. However, AppLocker is still working!
It is still enforcing the original policies I created, and is still logging events.
I did a little more investigation, and I see that the AppID service (which AppIDSvc depends on) is running, and must be the service doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. When I prevent the AppID service from starting (by removing it from [HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services]),
and restart the system; the enforcement/logging stops. When I put it back, it restarts. But, I cannot get it to start on systems other than the original test group, and obviously something is wrong that the AppIDSvc won't start.
It's as if the enforcement mechanism (provided by AppId.sys?) cannot be called by the AppIDSvc, or AppIDSvc cannot access the resources in use by AppID; or something to that effect. I have tried auditing the behavior of the system using procmon, but
haven't made much headway yet.
Any insight into this issue, or how to better troubleshoot it would be greatly appreciated.

Despite hours of troubleshooting, just minutes after resorting to posting about this problem I solved it!
The issue ended up being that when I updated my group policy to ensure that the AppIDSvc was enabled, in my due diligence to ensure that everything was set correctly, I selected the radio button for "Log on as: Local System account." In fact, this
service must run under the "NT Authority\Local Service" account, not the Local System account. Once the account settings were corrected, the service started no problem.
I have updated my group policy to fix the issue and all seems to be well.
