Logitech Wireless M510 Does Not Work 12.10
I' ve just installed Ubuntu 12.10 64 bits on my new laptop and my Logitech M510 mouse does not work. It worked perfectly on 11.04 but it stop woth the new version, I've read here that I need to install HID Point, but I'm having trouble with that too.
Here's my output of: lsusb

As you can see it recognizes de unifying receiver, but the mouse does not respond.
When I try to install HID Point I get this:
libpng does not exist
libtiff does not exist
Gathering System information and generating a log
Launching HIDPoint Installer
./hidpointsetup: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I've installed the 32-bit libraries just as it says in the installation instructions but nothing works.
Thank you in advanced!
EDIT
On this thread: Logitech M515 does not work after upgrade to 12.04 They suggest this line "modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj && modprobe hid_logitech_dj" should fix the problem but I get this error when I execute it:
WARNING: Error inserting usbhid (/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/usbhid/usbhid.ko): Operation not permitted
FATAL: Error inserting hid_logitech_dj (/lib/modules/3.5.0-17-generic/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-logitech-dj.ko): Operation not permitted
The problem with the Unifying Receiver is likely caused by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/958174 which apparently has been fixed upstream. No fix as of yet in Ubuntu, but in the meantime running sudo modprobe -r hid_logitech_dj && sudo modprobe hid_logitech_dj a few times will probably fix it.
The message you're seeing (Operation not permitted) is because modprobe must be run as root (the most privileged user), which can be done using 'sudo' as above.
