Re: fsck in recovery menu
Try booting into recovery mode - from recovery menu - root prompt and run fsck
If that doesn't work you could be facing a hard disk failure. If so try the Ultimate Boot CD, it has the tools from the main HDD manufacturers and you can test the drive at a very low level.
Re: fsck in recovery menu
It said it was clean... however I have yet to figure out what is going on, also I learned that the live CD has the same problem. My cursor did not start locking up until after I closed EVE Online in wine. Now the only thing that works is the root account. The live CD does not have root access, so that is why the cursor does not work. I am lost at why any non root account has issues with a locked up cursor. Could it be a hardware problem?
Re: fsck in recovery menu
I am able to use the numpad to navigate, so it is a device lockup.

Hi and welcome, please do not bump your thread so quickly. Once a day (24 hr) is polite.
Re: fsck in recovery menu
ok. I am getting very frustrated. I cannot use any device specifically made to move the cursor. The only thing I am able to use to move the mouse is my numpad.
Re: fsck in recovery menu
It may well be a shot in the dark, but try to run this:
Code:
synclient TouchpadOff=0
Edit: I am assuming that you're talking about a Touchpad and not a USB or PS/2 mouse.
Re: fsck in recovery menu
are you using an usb mouse or a regular one?
