Mouse wheel doesn't scroll after update

Question

I have Ubuntu 18.04. Today in the morning I allowed the updates were installed and after system requested reboot mouse wheel doesn't scroll content up and down anymore. Touchpad still does but it's not convenient for me. Mouse A4tech laser Model: X6-22D which is connected to the laptop Asus UX310U by wire. Any ideas? Can I fix it or roll back mouse driver update.

Solution

I did not find another progressive solution yet and kernel version 5.0.0-27 solved my mouse scrolling problem (until now without any side effects).

I have an A4Tech X6-80D mouse and the 4.15.0-62 kernel contained this bug, so I installed kernel 5.0 on my Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS with the commands below (kernel 5.0 is not automatically installed if you have initially an Ubuntu version lower than 18.04.2).

• Desktop edition:

  sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
  

• I did not try the Server edition, for which xorg is not needed:

  sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04
  

Original source to install kernel 5.0 can be found via How to Get Linux Kernel 5.0 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Could you please provide the brand and model of your mouse ? Is it connected by wire, Bluetooth or anything else like Logitech Unifying Receiver ?

To help others, what does your kernel version report using uname -r command?

Sounds promising but neither on your picture nor in my settings I see no Wheel tab. I just can adjust the Mouse speed and it works properly. So, I couldn't find page scrolling or lines scrolling number and sure there is no Apply button in the mouse settings. May be I need to click somewhere to get this wheel tab?

I'll do it for sure but later on, once I'll finish critical work.

Don't hold your breath though: it may be due to Xorg mouse driver rather than the kernel. It actually seems to be more likely.

So, guys thanks a lot all of you. Seems I got to the bottom of that mysterious issue but not as deep as I wanted to since I have no time for debugging. So, I connected another mouse and it works properly. Seems some chips aren't supported anymore by new driver.

Best of luck for your future.
