I use Ubuntu 17.10 and just recently I experience mouse issue which can't click on wayland. If I switch to Xorg or unity my mouse click back to normal. The problem is I depending on wayland because my wine application works better on wayland, while on Xorg or Unity it crashes everytime I strated the program.

I already tried

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

but it doesn't seem bring any differences, Please help

    Try using `sudo rmmod psmouse` followed by `sudo modprobe psmouse` as described in this [answer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/995819/touchpad-gestures-and-holding-keys-does-not-work/995948#995948) and let me know. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 17 '18 at 11:13
  • @WinEunuuchs2Unix it doesn't work – 6warrior Jan 17 '18 at 12:29
  • Yeah that fix is for broken touchpad under kernel 4.13 and I was hoping it worked for mice too. Hope you find the bug soon. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jan 17 '18 at 13:15
  • I get the unresponsive mouse too after upgrading to 4.13.0-25-generic. Not sure if it's the kernel or some other update that broke it. – SurvivalMachine Jan 18 '18 at 17:46
  • after fresh install for numerous of time (not to mention switching distro), mouse went back to normal, now i'm using this kernel `4.13.0-32-generic`. I'm not so sure where the problem was – 6warrior Jan 30 '18 at 04:44

Disabling Wayland must solve this issue. Similar question was answered here. Worked for me.

If you wish to do it permanently, edit

/etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment the line:

#WaylandEnable=false

Save the file and then on reboot you will never see the cog asking for which session to use.
