Me again. What I wrote before was partially true: I logged in-out and the left mouse button worked and I assumed it would work after rebooting (as earlier attempts wouln't work even with log in/out). Since then , I have restarted the computer and the behaviour is the same - Lubuntu wouldn't recognize the mouse button change.
I do apologize for this, as I was really excited about it - I spent quite a time trying to figure out this show-stopper... This is what I did: I created a folder named lxde (and lxde_, just in case) in the .config folder under ~. Then, when I first changed the mouse settings, lxinput created a config file whose content looks like this: [Mouse] AccFactor=20 AccThreshold=30 LeftHanded=1 [Keyboard] Delay=500 Interval=30 Beep=1 But seems to me that initially, Lubuntu isn't reading this file. Only when run lxinput again, the mouse becomes left-handed. Other strange thing is that some applications, randomly, when they are first opened, behave like right-handed. Meaning, the mouse buttons seems to be swapped for that application only. Clicking aside (anywhere) and back to the application would bring the left-handed mouse behaviour back to that app. Finally, for the record, I would like to mention that I do not run clean Lubuntu install - I initially installed Xubuntu 10.4, and seeing that my old computer is too slow, via Synaptic I fetched Lubuntu. Then I removed everything xfce-connected, and reinstalled Lubuntu-desktop in synaptic. -- won't save config if missing lxde folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
