Logitech Mouse Wireless Unifying M510

[Loro_Mendes]

Dear all I have a Logitech Wireless mouse M510 with a Unifying that is not recognized on my Debian Wheezy 64

During my search I found this topic

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=107567

Where it says that the kernel should be updated to the 3.12, should I do the same? As I am new to Linux how can I do it in this case?

Code: Select all

uname -a
3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

All the best

Well here is something...

I restarted the laptop and suddenly everything was working, I mean, the mouse was fully working but on the second restart it stopped again as nothing happened...

Any ideas???

Same hardware, same release (if you're really using Stable), no issues here.

What may work in Testing may or may not work in Stable. Two totally different beasts.

... should I do the same?

It can't hurt to try, and kernel 3.12 is available in Wheezy backports. But don't get your hopes too high. That thread you linked to pertains to a bug that was introduced into the kernel long after Wheezy's release.

As I am new to Linux how can I do it in this case?

Well dasein,

I am using the stable version, do you have any ideas to try it out in order to get it working properly?

[dasein]

I already searched it for you, and made the relevant docmentation available to you in a single farqin' click. Was there actually something else you wanted me to do??

[Loro_Mendes]

Hey dasein,

That is OK you have been doing a lot, it is because it was not clear for me, as a newer to this OS.

I am sorry if I misunderstood your post, I got that you said that there is nothing to do because

Unless to try the backport solution which there is not much hope on it, so I figure it out that maybe could have another way of trying

Sorry for my bad English

There is an easy fix. I had purchased a M310 Logitech that was missing the Nano USB Device at
a Church Rumage sale.

I ordered a Unifying USB Device and used the Logitech Software to "PAIR" it to my M310 in Windows.
Then I had the bright Idea to also Pair it to my Logitech M185 Laptop Mouse, because the Unifying USB
Device can control up to six devices.

But, when I plugged in my M185 Mouse to my Debian install, with my standard Nano USB Device it wasn't recognized
by Debian.

What I had to do was Use the Logitech Software in Windows to, Remove the M185 Mouse from the Unifying USB Device,
Pair the M185 Mouse to it's Original Nano USB Device. Then it worked in Debian, and my Logitech M310 Mouse with
the Unifying USB Device also worked in Windows, and Debian.

There is some good Linux software that I later found that will do the same Pair or Remove Pair of the Unifying USB Device.
But, I'll have to look at what I installed.

If you need a wheezy-compatible Solaar, it's in the MEPIS CR: http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testr ... /s/solaar/

[Loro_Mendes]

Dear stevepusser,

Sorry for my late answer but only today I had some time to work around on this topic.

Here is what I did and the results

First:
I created the following file: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/solaar.list
Then

Code: Select all

deb http://pwr.github.io/Solaar/packages/ ./
deb-src http://pwr.github.io/Solaar/packages/ ./

After that I

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get install solaar-gnome3

And it didn`t worked at first, after some reboots and plug and unplug the Unifying Receiving with some turn on and off the Mouse I got this working but no icon on the tray menu is shown, even when I started the Solaar from the application, such as described on the following site:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/12/logi ... nux-solaar

When the Solaar does not recognize the Unifying it give me the following msg:

Code: Select all

solaar-cli show
solaar-cli: error: Logitech receiver not found

Is there any thing that I am doing wrong? Suggestions? Or everything is OK?

Regards,

[Loro_Mendes]

Just a head up during the boot with the Unifying receiver connected I get this msg

Code: Select all

logitech-dj receiver: probe of 0003:046D:C52B.003 failed with error -32

Suggestions?

I'm running Debian Jessie/Sid (kernel 3.14-1-amd64), have Solaar 0.9.2 installed and use Logitech M545 mouse with a K800 (illuminated) keyboard. These are unified receiver devices. Both devices work great with the pairing function via Solaar working as intented. Have you tried a different USB port (in case faulty)?

solaar-cli show
Unifying Receiver [/dev/hidraw0:2BD29AB2] with 2 devices
1: Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 [K800:46C9D274]
2: Wireless Mouse M545 [M545:8E8A2B1B]

Btw, that Solaar sources.list entry appears defunct.

[Loro_Mendes]

Well devils_debian, I tried all the ports on my note, I have one usb 2.0 and two 3.0 and the same thing happened. It seams, from your answer, that i should update to the next version of the Kernel, since my is the Wheezy as well to the Testing version of Jessie.

Code: Select all

~$ uname -a
Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.57-3 x86_64 GNU/Linux

One question, sorry if it sounds dummy, but what did you mean by

Solaar sources.list entry appears defunct.

Did you mean that the Solaar list is out of date and maybe my Mouse M510 is not included in the list of supporting?

Hey guys I would like to post my new experience on this topic, maybe there is something that can help improving the ideas

I freshly installed Debian Wheezy on a second laptop, which has some differences from the last one:

1) It doesn't have NVIDIA graphic cards
2) Only USB 1.0

From the NVIDIA point of view, on the previous laptop, I had to install the proprietary driver and blacklist the nouveau, besides it has only USB 2.0 and 3.0 on the laptop.

On the new one, as I don't have NVIDIA cards, I have Wheezy as it is and the mouse it is now working as nothing happened, also there is only USB 1.0 on this configuration, does some one know something about it? If it could influence the laptop with NVIDIA to not get the mouse properly working?

All the best

[Loro_Mendes]

Ok I got a possible solution for this...

I run the following command

Code: Select all

modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj

and after

Code: Select all

modprobe hid_logitech_dj

It takes aprox 1-5 times to get this working properly
Also sometimes I do

Code: Select all

modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj

**move mouse**

Code: Select all

modprobe hid_logitech_dj

It seams that there is a velocity difference between the mouse and the detection from hardware
