Problems with Mouse

As requested by Aravisian I have started a new thread on my right mouse menu missing sometimes and having to use AFT + F2 & r .... I have tried 2 different kinds of mice .... my original mouse was a 5 button RAIGOR II WG10 Wireless Gaming mouse .... it worked flawlessly for over 6 months .... then developed the menu problem .....

The 2nd mouse is a VorTex is a Plain Jane wired 2 button mouse that works better than the RAIGOR but still develops the right menu problem ....

Not sure how to get the full specs ......

OK I made it have fun ..... see ya tomorrow .... hope I got rid of all the serial numbers .....

You asked about this previously... Is the menu entirely missing, or only missing on the desktop?

Yes I did but it was never solved so I just kept putting up with it ..... I thought the wired mouse had fixed the problem but it didn't .....

When I go to use the right click menu it is just not there no matter where I am .... desktop .... web ... it is intermittent sometimes it may be OK for several hours and sometimes it will screw up 3-4 times in a row after I reset my screen with ALT + F2 in r ....

I gotta go I'll check back tomorrow ..... thanks

OK new game plan .... I ordered a new gaming mouse "Corsair Harpoon RGB Pro" .... I could have chosen a couple of others but the fact that Corsair goes to the trouble of make drivers for Linux makes me want to support them .... you have to download it from GitHub but it was worth it already have it installed .....

More about this after I have lunch .....

And here is the program installed and ready to go ....

If this doesn't fix the mouse problem I may uninstall Zorin 16 Pro and install Zorin 16 Lite or choose something else ..... hopefully this will solve the problem ..... I can't keep buying mice ..... :sob:

Hmmm... I guess we can wait until the new mouse.

Precocious comment: I would struggle to believe that the mouse would disrupt the right click menu alone.

I agree but after trying out 5-6 mice of different brands and configurations with the same results what else could it be ..... I have no idea where to start ..... I have made no OS back-ups in god knows when for fear that I would duplicate my problem and carry it forward .....

What could disrupt the right mouse menu ?????

The desktop.

Do you have any files at all stored in ~/.local/share/nemo/actions?

After 5 or 6 mice with the same results... I definitely would discount the mouse as likely.

No ..... I'm over on Ubuntu trying to find an answer but not having much luck ....

It could be your drivers, nvidia drivers have a on-demand mode where they switch back and forth between the intel uhd and the nvidia drivers, based on what it thinks the workload is. This could be messing with xorgs ability to render the menu.
launch NVIDIA X Server Settings

  • NVIDIA (Performance Mode) – use dedicated NVIDIA GPU to render desktop.
  • NVIDIA On-Demand – use integrated graphics to render desktop, but possible to offload specific apps via dedicated GPU.
  • Intel (Power Saving Mode) – use integrated graphics to render desktop.

pick either performance or powersaving to stick to one driver or the other. Reboot, to reload the driver and xorg, and see if that helps

I did find this answer from Ubuntu ...... "The problem was fixed when I uninstalled the extensions, Pylance and Python. Apparently, if we install these packages they directly alter even the basic things such as the right-click menu." .....

I remember doing something with Python either reinstalling it or something a while back ..... yea I know I'm shooting in the dark ....

Could I use the non dedicated driver in "additional drivers" to check it first and see if it clears up ..... ?????

Yes, but you won't get any of the performance boosts that come from the nvidia drivers, if you use it for work or gaming. But that would be a good test as well.

OK let me try that first as I'm not sure just how to go about following your instructions ...... if it does work we will try your suggestion ....

OK I'm back on Zorin video drivers so we will see what happens .... ma take a while for this thing to rear it's ugly head as it is hit and miss ....

Thanks seanhinkley ..... I sure hope it solves the problem .... I had within the last 3 or so months up grade my NVIDIA drivers I believe twice ..... I'll let you folks know what happens but like I said it may take a while ......

Well day one has expired with no mouse problems ..... going for at least one more before I stand up and cheer ..... I did a lot of extensive surfing on the Web with NO ill effects .....

I would never in a million years thought that a video driver could effect a mouse function ..... to soon to crow yet we still have tomorrow ..... :+1:

Same. That it could cause one context menu to not appear at all, while other things looked normal was a bit surprising.
