[Bug 1758306] Re: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings
Actually, I just tried plugging in my office wireless mouse into the personal laptop, and the buttons work fine on that. So it's JUST the buttons with the track pad. In every previous version of Ubuntu I've used, I've always just changed the touchpad buttons through GCC under the mouse settings. Is there another way to change settings for the touchpad? If it helps, my personal laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 300. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758306 Title: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1758306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1758306] Re: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings
After poking around Google to find a solution, I came here, and I'm still stumped. I just upgraded to 18.04 last night, and I tried GCC to swap my mouse/touchpad buttons back to lefty-normal, and that failed. So I went to the terminal. "gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed" comes back with "true". I saw someone say that there was an update that fixed this, but I've checked for updates after upgrading, and the only update was for the Chrome browser. Nothing mouse-related, and my buttons still aren't right. Any ideas? This is a major PITA for a lefty who uses these buttons all the time. Thank goodness it's not my work laptop (can't convince the office to ditch Windows), but it's still a big problem. In fact, I am writing this on my work laptop because I kept hitting the wrong button on my personal one. It's putting me at a bit of a handicap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758306 Title: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1758306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Stephen, yes, I've rebooted. That was the first thing I tried. Hoping a fix is issued very soon. I'm sure this would be considered a critical bug if it affect right-handed people.

I didn't have this problem before I upgraded to 18.04, though. In fact, I've never had this problem with any release since I started using Ubuntu with 8.04 years ago. It was literally right after I upgraded and restarted my machine that the problem appeared--it didn't appear before the restart that was required to finish the upgrade. So I'd assume it's something within the updgrade. I couldn't tell you about the repos being activated, because I frankly don't know what those are. I don't know much of the under-the-hood of Ubuntu yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1758306 Title: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1758306/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1758306] Re: Cannot switch mouse primary button to Right (left-handed) in Settings
OK, this is bizarre. For most of the afternoon, I was running in the 14.3 kernel instead of the new because I was doing an online class that required a lot of clicking. I finished the class and then came here to see if there were new messages. So, I ran 'gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse left-handed' in the terminal, and it returned true. But then I remembered I was still in the old kernel, so I restarted my laptop and booted the new kernel. Now, I've already done this a couple of times today, and nothing has changed with the buttons. But when I booted the new kernel just now, the problem appears to have resolved itself, and my right button is actually primary as I had set it to be. So, the problem is somehow resolved, but I'm curious as to how booting one kernel and then another seems to have made the difference. I haven't run any updates or anything.
