How do I fix very slow scrolling USB wheel mouse (after waking from suspend) which started after upgrade to 19.04?

  • 772

This morning before I upgraded when I rolled the scroll wheel any active program would scroll as long as the wheel was turning. After upgrade to 19.04 after waking from suspend (closing the laptop) when I roll the wheel the view scrolls a few lines then stops, it won't scroll again until I spin the scroll wheel a few more times.

Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 4000

It happens in every program including a virtual-box boot up of Windows, and only seems to be after waking from suspend. Unplugging the USB receiver and plugging it back in restores the sensitivity but to me that isn't a fix, jsut a work around.

How do I stop whatever system behavior in suspend which is disrupting the mouse settings? How do I restore it without physical intervention (automatically on wake up if possible)

And why did the upgrade break it, or could it be that much of a coincidence?

    ResetMsMice

    A special program has been released to reset Microsoft Mice when dual booting Windows and Linux experiences insanely fast scrolling. It has just been confirmed to work for Ubuntu 19.04 suspend/resume problem of insanely slow scrolling.

    Go to this site: https://sourceforge.net/projects/resetmsmice/

    Click the link for: resetmsmice_1.1.3_amd64.deb

    It is instantly downloaded to your ~/Downloads folder.

    To install it use:

    sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/resetmsmice_1.1.3_amd64.deb
rm -f ~/Downloads/resetmsmice_1.1.3_amd64.deb

    The program automatically runs during boot but you can also call it from the terminal at any time with:

    resetmsmice

    To automatically call it after resuming you need to create a script with gedit.

    Use sudo -H gedit /lib/systemd/system-sleep/resetmsmice

    Copy these lines into the editor:

    #!/bin/bash
case $1/$2 in
  pre/*)
    echo "$0: Going to $2..."
        ;;
  post/*)
    echo "$0: Waking up from $2..."
    resetmsmice
        ;;
esac

    The echo statements help you locate your program in system logs, eg grep resetmsmice Save the file and exit the editor. Then use:

    sudo chmod a+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/resetmsmice

    Original Answer

    You can power off the USB mouse during suspend and power it on during resume. This will simulate a reboot.

    Use sudo -H gedit /lib/systemd/system-sleep/custom-xhci_hcd

    Copy these lines into the editor:

    #!/bin/bash

# Original script was using /bin/sh but shellcheck reporting warnings.

# NAME: custom-xhci_hcd
# PATH: /lib/systemd/system-sleep
# CALL: Called from SystemD automatically
# DESC: Suspend broken for USB3.0 as of Oct 25/2018 various kernels all at once

# DATE: Oct 28 2018.

# NOTE: From comment #61 at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/522998

TMPLIST=/tmp/xhci-dev-list

# Original script was: case "${1}" in hibernate|suspend)

case $1/$2 in
  pre/*)
    echo "$0: Going to $2..."
    echo -n '' > $TMPLIST
          for i in `ls /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/ | egrep '[0-9a-z]+\:[0-9a-z]+\:.*$'`; do
              # Unbind xhci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
               echo -n "$i" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/unbind
           echo "$i" >> $TMPLIST
          done
        ;;
  post/*)
    echo "$0: Waking up from $2..."
    for i in `cat $TMPLIST`; do
              # Bind xhci_hcd for first device XXXX:XX:XX.X:
              echo -n "$i" | tee /sys/bus/pci/drivers/xhci_hcd/bind
    done
    rm $TMPLIST
        ;;
esac

    Save the file and exit the editor. Then use:

    sudo chmod a+x /lib/systemd/system-sleep/custom-xhci_hcd

    Ubuntu 19.04 upgrade delivers the new Linux 5.0 kernel with new drivers. After future upgrades are done, deactivate the script to see if the problem has been fixed in new kernels.

  2. Turn off and on the mouse or unplug and plug in the cable.

  3. my scroll wheel will stop functioning just moving from a new tab in chrome or another app to a tab i've had open in chrome for a while. I can refresh the page and mouse wheel scrolling works again. The scroll bars to the right always work.

    Using chrome stable ubuntu 19.04
