double click sensitivity on Mouse

[sumbitch212]

I want to increase sensitivity on the double click on my mouse. I cant even double click folders to open. Which i would like too. Double clicking files and other stuff is also slow to respond. Ive tried all the tips i could search on google. So, if you have another one im all ears. Thanks! (but i love this operating system. Its amazing!)

If you already went into the settings and adjusted the mouse settings you may to try another mouse. I had much the same problems and a new mouse saved the day. Remember a $5.00 mouse is just that and can be fixed by using a $5.00 mouse trap.

I think there is no other option besides control panel settings or mouse settings, try again to adjust the settings hope you will solve your problem.

Are you sure you have tried to change the settings at Dash>System settings>Mouse and Touchpad? There is an option for changing the double-clicking speed.

yeah, i did all that stuff. Also did some terminal stuff. nothing works. maybe a new mouse will help. thanks

cant double click a song to start in Rhythmbox. is there a plug in that allows you to play selected song without double clicking?
i dont think my mouse is the problem as db click is fine on other things.

ok, im starting to notice that double click ability changes from app to app in ubuntu.

Perhaps you are getting interference with the X server. Do the following:

1. Look for errors in dmesg: (open a terminal)

dmesg | tail -40

2. Look for errors in the system log:

less /var/log/syslog

"q" to quit.

3. Look for errors in .xsession-errors (This is where local, by-user errors are captured, as opposed to system errors)

cd
less .xsession-errors

4. Finally look for global X-server (graphics server which also controls input devices) errors.

less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
less /var/log/Xorg.1.log

Post any murine errors.

Try another mouse and see if the behavior is the same.

Starting to sound more like a sticky mouse button.
Use "Test Your Settings" button in Mouse and Touchpad.
