Need Help in Getting Mouse to Work

Asked by MetungKP

New user here... My mouse broke and a friend of mine gave me a wireless one I can use but It is not working. I looked it up and it says 32-Bit only and I have a 64-Bit computer, not sure if these makes any difference.

Here is this... Every time I ask for help you folks always ask for this, so here it is.

did you sync the mouse with the transmitter?
there's a button on both that you have to press relatively at the same time. however, a few secs lapse doesn't affect it.

If you are looking for more immediate assistance may I recommend using IRC.
irc.freenode.net and join the #ubuntu channel.

Yes, I did sync. C'mon, dude, I said was new to Ubuntu not computers.

OK, I didn't know about IRC.

What are the differences between this site and IRC. I actually was on IRC with first dumped Microsoft for Ubuntu when I was having another issue and no body helped. I will go give it another try though.

I went to the IRC site but I could not get it work. I hit Launch but nothing was loading. Can someone direct me on how to get in to the IRC channels or forums. Thanks!

MetungKP,

You will have to create a new question, or lookup IRC on the Ubuntu support page for directions. Here, lets stick to the problem.

Where are you at?

Can you help with this problem?
