After upgrading to 15.04, my (already sad and semiworking) Logitech M560 mouse is not working as in 14.10. The problem is that the scrolling is more sensitive than in the previous release.

Is there a way to fix it? I can't find support for it. (Also, can't bind the keys, but probably that is another question.)

  • Do you mean "sensitive"? "Sensible" means "making sense". Anyway, have you check `Settings>Input Devices>Touchpad`? – TheWanderer May 05 '15 at 23:59
  • Yes, sensitive. And there is no configuration there for the mouse. – adn May 06 '15 at 00:01
  • OK. Try this. Run `sudo apt-get install kde-touchpad` and then search `Touchpad` in Unity Dash. This should give you more options. Also look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/254847/how-do-i-adjust-the-pointer-speed-and-scrolling-speed-of-a-trackpad. – TheWanderer May 06 '15 at 00:06
  • I installed it, but it doesn't have the options. See the image above. – adn May 06 '15 at 00:32
  • Wrong program. Hold on, I'm going into to Unity to try it out. – TheWanderer May 06 '15 at 00:33
  • OK. Install KDE System Settings, open that from the Dash and go into Input Devices. – TheWanderer May 06 '15 at 00:37
  • It is empty when I go to Input Devices – adn May 06 '15 at 00:44
  • Make sure this is installed: `xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-lts-utopic`. – TheWanderer May 06 '15 at 00:45
  • That package doesn't exist – adn May 08 '15 at 23:01
  • Try with `vivid` on the end. – TheWanderer May 08 '15 at 23:02
  • No options for autocomplete. Also, I'm using unity, does that makes any difference? – adn May 08 '15 at 23:04
  • No, that shouldn't. Search the package name, excluding `utopic`, in the Software Center. – TheWanderer May 08 '15 at 23:25
  • @Zacharee1, How is installing a **touchpad** driver going to fix a mouse problem? – Merlijn Sebrechts May 17 '15 at 12:14

    What's the output of `synclient -l`? – Fabby May 18 '15 at 20:34
  • get a new mouse? – Find Me In The Woods May 21 '15 at 14:19
  • @Fabby the result of `synclient` is [this](http://pastebin.com/BivQTbBV) – adn May 21 '15 at 20:27
  • @adn: Can you go to a terminal and type: `synclient HorizHysteresis=16&&synclient VertHysteresis=16` If that doesn't help much, double the values and keep doubling them until it gets to the sensitivity you need. If the sensitivity suddenly becomes too high, go back to the previous setting. Then report back and I'll give you the perfect answer! **;-)** – Fabby May 21 '15 at 23:18

Some thing you can try to make the mouse show up in system settings:

  • Change USB port of receiver
  • Turn mouse off and on again

Manage logitec unified receiver devices

Solaar is a program to manage logitech unified receiver devices. You can install it using following commands: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniel.pavel/solaar
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install solaar

Unplug the receiver, plug it back in, and start Solaar. You should be able to see the device and change some of its options.
