No Mouse or Keyboard on Any Game

us flag

I have recently installed Ubuntu 21.04. The OS runs fine and I am able to use all apps. My issue is when I launch a game from Steam. I have no mouse. In counter strike I was able to click around with a seemingly invisible mouse and finally landed in a match. Once in the match the mouse and keyboard worked fine. In all other titles I did not have the same success. Mouse and keyboard work perfectly, launch a game and they disappear and become unresponsive. I can still use the keyboard to exit the game, and once out everything works as it should. I have tried running the games in with steam play enabled and disabled and there was no change between the two. I am using USB wireless mouse and keyboard.

there is a bug reported today https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1956849 not sure if your problem is related.

Thank you for your response. I don't think I am experiencing that bug because my USB keyboard and mouse function as expected outside of any game menu. Also, lsusb shows my USB mouse/keyboard.

Please don't forget Ubuntu 21.04 was not a LTS release and is thus in it's final days of supported life; https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2021-December/000275.html

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
