Lgitech wireless mouse freezing right from boot up. after some recent upgrade. The mouse pointer is stuck in the corner of the screen immediately upon startup. It will not budge. Then I tried, an olde travel mouse, which seems to work, but it has a sort cord. A hardware failure of a fairly new logitech mouse seems unlikely, but for now, I am getting myself a wired mouse tomorrow and try out the logitech on another machine.
thanks, I will keep that around for future reference.
the end conclusion was it was a hardware failure. for the wired travel mouse worked.
It seems that this was a slow progressive failure, but it must have been hardware. The mouse was an MX Master 4. A few times it had hiccups after a new upgrade from ubuntu, but eventually it froze completely. Give how it manifested I initially thought it was software, Mouse was still under warranty, and I got a new one and it worked. Only the new one has a usb-c plug, no more USB-A, but the nasty discovery was that the old one handled both my keyboard and the mouse, the new one handles only the mouse. So now I have two plugs, one for each device.
