New Update: In my case the freezes were caused by a Logitech S510 KB/Mouse USB combo. Once I removed the receiver and went to a standard wired mouse and PS2 KB the pointer freezes are 100% cured.
The receiver has a PS2 option plug on a -Y- cable, but it also causes the freeze issue. So if your using this or another wireless KB or Mouse, you might try to use a wired unit(s) to check if this cures the freeze issue. For me, I'll bite the bullet for now an use a wired solution, To bad as the Logitech S510 KB is very nice (Mouse, not so much lol), so I used my old USB MX500 and left the combo mouse turned off. Note: even with the USB MX500 unplugged, using the crappy mouse that came with the S510 combo the freeze still occurred. Now using the USB MX500 and a old PS2 wired KB, the pointer freeze is no longer a issue for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/627862 Title: USB Mouse freezes randomly but consistently To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/627862/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
