Hello!

I upgraded to Fedora 43 yesterday, which seemed to go flawless! But once I got the new version of fedora (43) running, my mouse pointer didn’t move…

The mouse in question is a Mousetrapper Advanced 2.0. It works as usual if I connect it to any other computer. But my main computer doesn’t work anymore.

If I connect another mouse (Logitech M275) that one works directly! Both seems to be detected when I connect them:

I’ve run journalctl -f when connecting the mousetrapper to both my main computer (running Fedora 43, upgraded) and my laptop (also running fedora 43, but fresh install) and this is the output:

I’ve noticed that on my main computer i get the following errors:

Mar 17 17:07:05 Computer_1 kwin_wayland[3428]: Failed to open /dev/input/event3 device (No such device)
Mar 17 17:07:05 Computer_1 kwin_wayland[3428]: Failed to open /dev/input/event6 device (No such device)

But if i run ls -al /dev/input/ all those events gets listed as they should:

And I can also get sudo libinput debug-events to output data for all button clicks and pointer movements when using the mousetrapper:

I’ve tried to search around for a solution, and came accross a few other posts about mouse problems with fedora 43. Non of which helped me any more than that they gave me some things to look at…

I also remember reading in one of the posts that there had been some kind of work around the usb/mice area, and that F43 handled it a bit different now than before. (at least when it came to timeouts)

Now I’m just speculating and I want to note that I have no previous experience around the mouse/keyboard inputs on the computer. But I suspect that it somehow seems to be checking for these events before they get created and then fails because they weren’t created yet. But then gets created right after this instance. Which is why I can get the output from them afterwards.

I have no clue if that is the case or not, and no idea of where or how to fix this! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’m thinking of reinstalling fedora from scratch but would prefer not to as I have a lot of customization and don’t really have the time to redo them at the moment…

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Forgot to say that I’ve been trying all different USB ports on my computer, and also tried to use a USB-to-PS/2 adapter I had laying around. But that didn’t change anything. Only thing I noticed was that the computer didn’t recognize the mouse with the USB-to-PS/2 adapter…

I wonder if its a power management issue with your USB hardware?
There should be some kernel command line options to change how USB power management is done you could try. Sorry I don’t know the options of the top of my head.

Are any of the other systems running Fedora 43? If not, you could try using the Live Installer to see if the issue depends on the system or generally F43.

5

The laptop I have is running F43, from a fresh install. I first thought that it was running F42, but when I later checked i saw that it was also running F43.

So something have probably been borked during the update…

Might be interesting to test a live installer on the affected system? To see if its a combination of hardware and F43 or if its the update that broke something?

Don’t know if it changes anything or not but I think I started out with F38 or on this computer and have only upgraded since.

I googled a little and found this page:

Could that be what you’re talking about?

7

Just tried to boot with fedora live installer and the mouse worked flawlessly…

So something broke during the update. Guess I will have to do a fresh install instead… :roll_eyes:

Yes that’s the docs I was thinking of. See if there is any kernel options you might test out for mouse problem.

What kernel version is rhe live usb image using?
Is it an older kernel version?

10

@from-source-it-is next step would be to try the latest respin installer: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Respins-SIG

11

Its because of wayland not providing the user space driver. Which they should have sorted all the input devices x11 had into wayland which they didn’t.

The lazy way to fix this would be putting back an X11 based system on it and then just use Kernel.org updates for new ones.

The more difficult way would be to force the kernel driver into the user space via hid quirk always poll. That would be in your case, adding this to your GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
statement in grub (/etc/default/grub)

usbhid.quirks=0x0d240000:0x000b:0x00000040

if you don’t have a GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in grub you would add it like:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="usbhid.quirks=0x0d240000:0x000b:0x00000040"

and don’t forget to update the live copy of grub:

sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

then reboot the machine and it should theoretically work.

What user space driver?

@gnwiii, @barryascott

I’ve checked the kernel version on both machines and the live installers! Also tried the Respin version, and this is the result:

Computer Kernel Version Status
Main Desktop (Live Installer) 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64 Working
Laptop (Installed OS) 6.18.12-200.fc43.x86_64 Working
Main Desktop (Installed OS) 6.19.7-200.fc43.x86_64 Not Working
Main Desktop (Live Installer - Respin) 6.19.7-200.fc43.x86_64 Not Working

I’ve also tried to add the line mentioned by @oconical into my grub config. But that didn’t solve the problem… Don’t know if I’m missing something?

14

This looks like a kernel regression. You can try reporting the regression in the Fedora bug tracker. Making sure you're not a bot!

You can set the 6.18.12 kernel to be your default kernel to boot up from using sudo grubby to set the default kernel, have a look at man grubby to see the options to do that.

Once you are set the default kernel and run using it dnf updates will not remove that working kernel for you.

15

Would it help to pinpoint which kernel version it it that causes this?

I haven’t fiddled much with changing the kernel back and fourth, but if it is relatively simple and fast to change back, I could try to find the version causing this!

Also I was looking at the line I added to grub, and noticed that it was built from the vendor ID and model ID of the device. But I can’t tell what the last part of it is supposed to be? Are we sure that it is correct?

16

Try the earliest 6.19 kernel you can install and see if it was the change 6.18 to 6.19 that broke the mouse. When testing remove any experimental settings added to the kernel command line.

17

Its either kernel or distribution. But looking up the device it uses Xorg drivers.

Makes me winder if you have something like /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mousetrapper.conf on the laptop that works

18

xorg had user space drivers that launched as a service that configured the hid driver. wayland only uses kernel mode drivers. So on an xorg based input device there is no kernel mode access as it is initialized by address. BSD usbconfig would be one way to initialize. But it makes me wonder if 0x000b is the access entry for usbhid.quirks since that would be the same thing. Maybe 0x0010 instead. Unless they removed libinput which would have been a terrible thing to do since there is a lot of input devices that uses that.

19

I’m not so sure that it is the kernel in and off itself that causes this anymore… I’ve tried to jump between the kernel versions now and haven’t had any luck on getting the mouse to work even if i jumped all the way back to version 6.18.7-100.fc42.x86_64… (Which I had previously on my main computer. Compared to the other kernel version which I got from Koji)

So now I’m more confused than before…

Has there been some changes to the x11 system in fedora 43? But if that is the case, why would it work at all with the laptop and live installers? But then again not with the respin version…?

Should I try to update my laptop? Or is that just stupid as I might loose a working example?

If you have any other ideas, I’m all ears! :wink:

20

Do you mean X11 or Wayland?

21

I was referring to the missing driver that @oconical was talking about. I’m trying to understand what else it is that could affect this…
