My Ub 10.10 has been running fine, all updates installed but recently after installing Picasa (I think) getting erratic results when I launch media related apps: Picasa, Brasero, Acrobat.
When I launch these apps the mouse goes totally erratic, even clicking in places and wrecking havoc - I don't mean it lightly.
I can sometimes control the mouse by switching desktops and getting to the console and killing Picasa or such. Sometimes I have to logoff and log back in as the mouse and screen totally locks up.
So I had Picasa and such in 10.04 as well, no such problem. In fact I had been using Picasa in 10.10 but I think this erraticism started once I made an update.
But am not sure when it really started. Just wondering if anyone is facing the same. From external apps I also have Matlab installed, dev tools such as build-essential, jdk installed among the major things. No games and such.
Please let me know if there is any rectification of this, or if there is a way to mention it to the Ub developers.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for your help.
