For anyone who runs across this problem: I had the same issue. It turns out that it was because I was using Synergy (the keyboard / mouse sync app) and this machine wasn't the computer with the devices connected to it. It was screwing up the update events.
If you're using Synergy, turn it off. -- Mouse hangs in lower-right corner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/92354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
