Logitech USB Receiver not working, Ubuntu 16.10 [SOLVED]

[massimiliano-bellomo-s]

Dear all,

i cannot get the Logitech receiver to work for the M185 wireless mouse.
The problem could be that the kernel module hid-generic is uised instead of
the hid_logitech_dj (that i loaded myself with modprobe).

I've tried already to load/unload the hid_logitech_dj module as suggested in
other threads but doesn't change anything, the generic module is always used.

Please find some details below.

best,
Max

It appears solaar doesn't support for your device but their is a pull request that could add it- https://github.com/pwr/Solaar/pull/337/files

See if the mouse shows in

xinput

Thanks for the reply.

Please find below the xinput output.
Note that i've also a wired usb mouse plugged in
showed below at id=16.

Shouldn't the hid_logitech_dj module be used?

I am not sure what driver it should use but I know it was reported to work in Ubuntu 12.04. Did you find a post or bug report that indicates the hid-logitech-dj module needed to be used?

Actually i'm not 100% sure that module should be used....in many others posts is mentioned such that it seems it's needed
but indeed it was not stated clearly.

Here is the output, however please note that this is the wired usb mouse, the other mouse connected.
An HP mouse curiously called Logitech USB Optical Mouse....

oh gosh ... the battery shipped with the mouse was faulty....replacing it it worked instantly like a charm....

sorry for the noise .... and many thanks for the prompt reply.

So Logithech M185 works in Ubuntu 16.10 out of the box!
