I had 13.04, upgraded to 13.10, and did a fresh install of 13.10, no luck. Any ideas?
Just tail -f'd my syslog and plugged in the mouse. here is what I got:

Oct 26 16:15:50 Orithyia mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 6 was not an MTP device


So, I see it did see it is a mouse... but the cursor doesn't move when I move the mouse. Not sure where to debug from here.



EDIT:



$ xinput

kinda funny that a mouse is under the keyboard category. Probably related to whatever problem this is.

1. Upgrading the Kernel to 3.11.7



The most probable reason seems to be that there's no driver for this particular piece of hardware due to it being a not-so-popular brand. Upgrading to a new Kernel (3.11) that comes with 13.10 Saucy may solve this.




  1. Run commands below one by one to download DEBs for Kernel 3.11.7 (use Ctrl+Alt+T to open the Terminal):



    For 32 bit systems:



    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.7-031107-generic_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_i386.deb
    
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.7-031107_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_all.deb
    
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-image-3.11.7-031107-generic_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_i386.deb


    For 64 bit systems:



    wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.7-031107-generic_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_amd64.deb
    
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-headers-3.11.7-031107_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_all.deb
    
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.11.7-saucy/linux-image-3.11.7-031107-generic_3.11.7-031107.201311040853_amd64.deb

  2. Both 32 bit & 64 bit install them via:



    sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.11.7-*.deb linux-image-3.11.7-*.deb


    Once done, restart your computer.






2. Reporting a Bug



If upgrading the Kernel doesn't solve it, you better report a bug giving as many details of your problem as possible here.





3. Get a new Mouse



You should report the bug, but it may take some time before it's patched (or it may be fixed in a couple of days too). Although I hate to give this advice (for it's not fit for developers to talk such), but these day Mice are dirt-cheap; ones from likes of Microsoft & Logitech cost INR 300-350 (USD 4.8-5.6 today) here in India. Just get a simple Logitech one if you can.



P.S. I know Nascita is a pretty good Gaming mouse, but you don't need it for that purpose on Ubuntu.
